Missing clip all along back wall



Clip not covering entire top allowing people to get out of bounds


Out of map


Can build up here


These arent sewn so you can get stuck in them if jumping


Re-textured to see, but you can stand on this clip

Another spicy 14bit update, even though this will say it's from abp for some reason despite me (14bit) being a "team member" for it here on the site. Mysterious!

  • Added a window to the ceiling so you can see between the point and the room above it
• Changes at Final:
  • There's significantly more cover
  • The track is slightly different
  • The Pit in the middle is gone, filled in with sand

B12: Final Now Looks Good

Hello, 14bit again! While there's a few areas that still need work/will be changed, the vast majority of the map has now been artpassed! b12 was an internal version that was never publicly released, but to prevent version conflicts between the few people who do have it this version is b12a.

• Initial artpass of:
  • Blu's forward spawn
  • Red's forward spawn
  • Final
• New models:
  • New statue variants
    • Some statues have lost their heads, can you find...

Clip got moved up a bit so you can stand on top (and in) of some displacements (and on that pipe, but you may want that).

B13A: A Completely Normal Update

Hello, 14bit again! Just some bugfixes and detail work! Completely normal! Nothing unusual going on, move along, don't look too closely. Why is this B13A and not B13? You ask too many questions.

• Removed all remaining uncredited assets
  • This was mostly textures from the bulletcrops pack without known authors
  • In some cases new assets were created to replace them, while others were replaced with stock equivalents
• Replaced all Frontline ammo crate models with...

RC1: Cinematic Finale

RC1 is finally here, complete with a full cinematic finale sequence just like the Valve maps of old. Thanks to all of our testers at TF2M and TF2C; your feedback was indispensable in making this map into what it is today! Working on this map has been an incredible journey, and I'm very proud of the result. I hope you like it too!

Recently played the RC1 version and wanted to give a heads up about this big missing texture at the last point.

Recently played the RC1 version and wanted to give a heads up about this big missing texture at the last point.

I believe this is a caching error, as the prop and texture is correctly packed into the map and I've recieved no other reports of this being missing. Did you play a different map that also uses these assets (a previous version of this map, pl_oasis, etc.) on the same server before going to this one? If so, it's an engine bug related to loading different versions of the same custom assets, and something I don't think I can fix.

Ah yes we did go to pl_oasis previously during that session. I had no idea these maps shared assets so I assumed it was a problem built in to the map. Thanks for the heads up and shame about the asset problem.
