new version, look alot more like details to me. i also got stuck at the same spot coming out of cave again. make the roof non phasable. like all of it because when you stand on the cart coming out of cave you get stuck in the roof. also i cannot stress how important it is for the red team to have the highground in the spawn area, like i suggested before add that balcony on white house, but also make white house an actual building with a medium ammo pack in it and a small health pack. id also suggest that large health pack in the stairway thing i suggested before. another good idea is on the way into last if blue got more cover it would let blue at least get onto the platform easier.
Fixed one-way door
Players can not jump into the building using the crates

Hey there ASD, So I really like your entry. A few stylistic/gameplay things though:
For this area, I think it would look a little more interesting if you'd add a 3d skybox of some kind; maybe add some buildings behind the wall area, it looks a little bland.
For this area, it might just be a tad bit open, but it might just be the picture. I like the height variation though.
Overall, this map is a great contender for the top three. Keep working, ASD, I like this one!

Thanks for the suggestions, I am grateful for your compliments. I should update the screenshots though... those are from a1Hey there ASD, So I really like your entry. A few stylistic/gameplay things though:

I refuse to believe Highwood is a superior name

Here is a comparison between Alpha 1 and Beta 5

The layout did not actually change too much. Areas feels like the old areas. This is because I wanted to see how far I could go while retaining the original concept. This could be bad but I think it gives the map more unique feeling.
The general shape is still recognizable but several changes are very apparent. For instance, I changed the environment light a lot since the original lighting was too dark. It is great for more moody environment that does not rely heavily on the environment light but I need the twilight to shine through the dense redwood forest. This map was called pl_pink during alpha because of this lighting.
A1 and other early alpha used swamp rocks since it worked well with the ground texture as demonstrated in koth_suizin. However, I wanted to keep the rock color consistent across the map so I decided to change to grey. (The cave areas couldn't really have brown rock walls since it would blend with the ground texture)

Added door near point A. This should give both red and blue players more choice when defending or attacking point A.
Added clippings.

Increased delay between owl soundsin soundscape Grove.Outside (obviously the most important change in this version)
Fixed one way doors being openable from both sides
Packed Nax file (for those who might want to play with bots)
Fixed texture alignment of skycards (so they dont have this annoying faint line at the top)

Added a small health kit in the hut above the cave. This should help blue push through point B just a little bit more.
Added clip brushes to smooth collision.
