PL Frostwire A13

[Aapelikaeki]

Frostwire - Blu mounted a bomb cart to tram tracks and try to push it trough a snowy city to blow up stuff.

Frostwire is a payload map made for the Payload Checklist contest.
Made by Aapelikaeki and Hamsterkins.

Blu mounted a bomb cart to tram tracks and try to push it trough a snowy city to blow up the big red base at the end of the tram track.

Checked boxes for the contest rules

May I recommend you add some screenshots so we can see what it looks like?

A2 brings more detailing and hopefully a less stalematy starting area and a compressed river section. Also we destroyed a bunch of stupidly long sightlines.

Completely redid last, the cart now dips down and goes trough a square with tall urban buildings.

Finally Blu must keep the cart on the tracks as a tram rams over the cart and blows up the suspicious looking and very bland Red building.

Long sightlines have been made smaller and the track now has more twists and turns,

[Aapelikaeki]

-Added 2 new ways to get up from the bottom of the canal, the buildings on each side now have small basements with stairs.

This will shorten the walk from spawn for Red when defending 2nd

-Added some more lights and cover around the map

-Added a new room at last behind the last capture point

-Gave Red more highground at last to

These changes will hopefully make it easier for Red to flank Blu and get out of spawn at last.

-Added garage doors in Reds first spawn that open and close when 1st is capped.

No more going the wrong way I guess

-Locked Red spawns now teleport the player to the next spawn instead of locking them inside.

Last now has more fun geometry, more cozy flanks and other fun gameplay stuff. It's now much easier to run around circles in last. Red spawn was moved to make gameplay more fun and less of a Blu steamroll.

This update also features small improvements, such as rotanting spawn direction, more dynamic arrow signs, a lot more sign decals and props plastered around the place.

The tram at last now comes from the other direction, and the exit point has an opening train gate with flashing lights and a clear and loud bell.

Trams become more frequent as the payload gets closer to the last point.

Detail has also been added to the city and the cafe in the town area has been fully detailed.
