ARENA Exhaust _b2

[Huwareyou]

Huwareyou submitted a new resource:

Exhuast - Fight over the suspicious facility near the great hydroelectric plant

A small, fast paced arena map with a hydro-desert theming. For this map I opted to include quite a bit of minimalist detailing, such as proper stairs and thematically appropriate props such as consoles and other spytech props.

Hope you all enjoy this brand new arena map

Hey all, I've received a fair bit of feedback on the latest version (a2), but I was wondering if anyone had some in-depth feedback on what I could do to improve the map further.

Current complaints about the map is that the mid is bland and almost like a koth map - unfortunately the mid being like a koth map is an unfortunate byproduct of the fact I chose rotational symmetry rather than mirrored.


Any in-depth feedback would be much appreciated, thanks again for playing my map and enjoying it!

b1b - more logic fixes

-fixed an issue in the logic where multiple players dying in the same tick would only count one death, which would sometimes prevent rounds from ending until the point was captured

B2 - Justice, at last

Hey, Tiftid here (although Huwareyou's account will post this message).

I originally artpassed this map in 2023 in the span of ten short days.
I then gave it "fake arena" logic in the hopes of managing to hustle Valve to get a map in the game, for Huwareyou's sake.
This failed, leaving both of us a bit dejected.
But we're all better now, and so I decided to revisit the map to do it justice.

• Changed the skybox from sky_upward to the more saturated and cheerful sky_tf2_04...
