CP Last Call a17

[squ1rrel]

Last Call - 2cp frontline theme with sea and town elements.

BLU must capture a destroyed train station. A station next to the cliff? Don't ask me... then the town must be captured while RED defends the church.

Currently no frontline assets but this will be added as less modifications are required. I felt moving trains weren't necessary but lets see what others think.

Hey there! Me and @chin recently played your map and gave some feedback. The quality isn't great, and you can bairly hear me, but you may find it useful still.

 

[squ1rrel]

Hey I'd love to watch it but I get this error message "This video contains content from UMG, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."
Something to do with music I think? If you can solve this, that would be great.

 

[Hoplitejoe]

it remains unblocked for me lol.
here it is uploaded to dropbox

 

[squ1rrel]

Thanks. You guys have raised some good points. I definitely agree with the fb on A's layout. (I gotta find a way to keep those nice arches too)
I think I'll just reduce the space and distance between A and B to avoid the need for 3 control points. (3cp a/d caused me too many headaches last time lol)
As for B, I agree the height variation is too dominant and the low ground is underused. Keeping the art style of a church/cathedral will be hard but not impossible I don't think.

 

[squ1rrel]

A:
-Removed clipping for a small hut
-Reworked buildings to be more defender sided

B:
-Moved some gravestone so players can't get trapped
-Removed an entrance to the church balcony
-Lowered height of balconies to 256hu
-Added another entrance to the low ground

GF:
-Reduced distance between A-B

The map looks impressive, but it's really chokepoint - ish when going to the final point. The left side to B (from an attacker point of view) is rather useless as the window are hard to go throught, and it feels like you could go further.
Red's first spawn and Blu's final spawn has only 1 exit, and it's bad, as spawn camping can be a big problem.
As defenders, it's easy to defend last as a phlog pyro, you can lock down the "main entrance" and go spawncamping afterward.

It has potential. I hope this map will be succesfull.

 

[squ1rrel]

Thanks. Good points raised here. C will definitely need to be less cramped. It's always had a problem of being a massive choke... I have a few ideas about it in the meantime on how to fix this though!
