CP Mainline rc5

[S.W.A.T.Y]

Last change that I have made in the map from the comp feedback that I got that fixes the back capping issue and makes this route more useful since before it was too long and people weren't using it as much.
I've shorten it by 50%. It also fixes the wideness that the 2nd point had before. From the pug from yesterday people were using this route more so this was a good change. Everyone in the pug loved the map so I'm happy.

With the stuff that has simplified your map it looks tons better. You still need to add some wooden strut/truss supports to the wooden decks in your first image there, but otherwise much better.

P.S. in your first image there, the two wooden doors on the left are lit differently.

Playtest done. Can't really say, much, players who can't stand 5 cp did'nt like it, other found it fine. I must apologize that some people left on second round which broke the playtest itself.

I played as pyro on the first round, and was pleased to see at least a map with decent cover, my little burning hearth was being continuously punched by spamming on all these payloads, those days...
Some players found it a bit large, but it's what 5cp is about. Despite the gloomy atmosphere there was no visibility issue reported.

Here's a demo file for your pleasure : Gory mainline fight.

As there was no major complaint nor game breaking issue, I'll certainly give it a second run if it's not included in the cycle, You'll get another record for your feedback.

Here's the second run Demo. Two complete rounds, with full server, but at the beginning. First round was much more balanced. I personnally find the atmosphere a tad bit too dark for my taste.

Some directions may be a bit misleading, you'd want to work that a little bit.

Another change to the map in rc3. I made the yard at 2nd bigger since it was kinda of small before and it was very tight.

This is how it was before, just straight and it felt cramped.

This is how it is now.

 

[S.W.A.T.Y]

added more detail to the spawn room.

Modified second point looks terrific; aside from some minor visual touches this thing is pretty much done I assume.

 

[S.W.A.T.Y]

This is the last big change to the map before I release rc3. I made some changes to the middle point just to get away from the look of Fastlane and its 100x better with these changes, gameplay wise and visually speaking.

As you can see in the pics, it doesnt have that look of fastlane anymore.

To me, it looks more like Fastlane than before. In a good way, though.

 

[S.W.A.T.Y]

I will do one more pug before I release rc3 just so everything is good to go and It should be out this Friday.

 

[Hellfire]

[S.W.A.T.Y]

Thanks for those, I'll fix those right now so I can release rc3 tomorrow.

This version has pretty much everything fixed, there isn't anything else to fix except for some small clipping issues here and there but other than that its pretty much solid.

I took a lot of pictures on last that for some reason didn't get saved. But for the most part last looks great. On Blue side, the building behind the point looks odd because of the fact that the metal meets the wood so suddenly.

 

[S.W.A.T.Y]

You can play Mainline on Team Fortress 2 Fort #1 Pro Like Chro 208.100.17.252:27015
or at Team Fortress 2 Fort #2 Insane Like Train 208.100.17.253:27015
They have put mainline in their rotation.

Thanks, was really wondering about that

 

[FishyFishy]

Awesome, hopefully now some competitive players previously unfamiliar with Mainline will get to know it a little better and give it the recognition it deserves.

Entered the map for testing on Saturday 20 U.S. Server
