koth_frozencountry - Brrrr

What a great time of year ! It's freezing in the battlements and yet the water is still not ice. It's a bad time to get outside and yet the mercs arte fighting.

This map is a re imagining of my first ever first-real-real-map that i have never released. The map was still a koth map, and it was called "countryside". From a desert them to a snow alpine theme, because another one of my early map was a snow themed map.

Countryside was an experimental map for me back in 2018, learning no to use certain tools a certain way, learning how to mirror maps, learning scaling, learning how not to add new routes. Saying it's bad is an understatement, but when making it i knew it was bad. It was still during a moment when I knew I shouldn't publish anything because of my lack of experience. Now almost 4 years later i have decided to use the 72hr jam as a reason to dig into my old pool of maps and to give them a coat of usable and playable paint.

I have decided to not include the original map currently because of the 72hr jam being a current thing (and the old stuff dates from 2018) but once the showscase will release it will be out there.

A3 Update

After making a video on what to change about this map a while back, I decided to finally go around and... make the changes.

  • Added a new route that leads to a wooden shack that has a one way exit onto the point
  • Changed some angles
  • Inevitably added obviously nasty sightlines
  • Made the walls on the point too high to shoot over as heavy
  • Removed the loop around the point
  • Shifted spawn to hope to...
