Building upon what penpen said - I do think the first cap gives the defending team an uncharacteristic advantage for the first cap in an A/D map.

Part of the problem is the medium health and ammopacks in the corner. Change them to their small brothers so that it's harder to keep a sentry up and for RED to stay alive so easily. The other part of the problem is the huge height advantage that RED have over you.

Apart from that I really enjoy the map.

Not sure what's up with that room, it has no meaning/purpose.

Graphics bug.

 

[Hanz]

Well, there are dropdown gates in that room for blu (If it's the right room I'm thinking about)

Don't think so, I just saw a empty room with no other entrances
Didn't look so closely though, people were attacking near me.

 

[Void]

Look up.

No I just checked in hammer where this bug was, and in the room near the bug there are dropdown gates, more at the left of the room.

I am guessing this is on my side and not the map but just incase.

A random 1 way door, not sure why its here.

 

[Hanz]

I don't think that's the map because I also have this with other maps often.

 

[Psy]

Same thing happened on my map. It's just general weirdness with the server.

i dont think this as any thing to do with the server but it could be.

 

[Psy]

Same thing happens on official maps too. I've seen it a few times with setupgates on Dustbowl.

yah it happens on all maps and its usually just on the users side. But in the screenshot its in the middle of nowhere i dont even think theirs any one way gates near their.

 

[Psy]

That's one of BLU's setupgates.

 

[Sgt.Sausage]

That's one of BLU's setupgates.

Oh, well thats weird because its very far away from their spawn area.

 

[Hanz]

Thanks for bumping the thread guys.

Update!

ctf_panamint_a12

- Did some optimizing and seperated all the stages so, for example: You don't see stage 2 anymore while you are in stage 1.
- Sticked in Icarus prefab, now the entity setup is a bit cleaner.
- Changed the ammopacks at 1 - 1 to make it less sentry campable.
- Added Rexy's Doomsday Machine model: Henrietta.

Bump for the little test we had after the wednesday-gameday.

It seemed that it was a bit easy for blu, but I'm not sure..

Other feedback?

Pretty fun, however 1-2 seemed too engi-friendly for red, I personally would open up the door to the cap point a bit wider to hamper engies trying to build right inside the little building.

Also: 3-2 played a lot better then last tiem I tried it, must be the fuller server- however I would reccommend lowering the time for blue on this stage.

You might also consider doing something to the first bit (3-1), as blue almost always seem to go right out of spawn, the left edge (from blues perspective) of this area is unused and doesn't see much play.
Perhaps, and this is a big suggestion, rotate this first area 90 degrees so that left and right routes are both the same length to cap 1 for blue, it shouldnt impace much on gameply because it would still be a very similar layout.
Its up to you though

^Bit weird how i can see in the building there, some dodgey nodraws i presume, perhaps add a cliff right next to where I am on the right as well, edge of the map is a little undefined.

^I would reccomend putting a no-entry sign over this door for stage 3, or perhaps rotating blues spawns here, everyone runs forward towards it- only to find it is locked.

^Not sure if you meant to put this gap in the roof, but I thought I'd point it out.

Keep at it.

A new bump for the long test we had on the EU server today.

I saw 1 - 2 is way too hard for blu because of the sentry spamming, I might reduce the ammo arround that cp.

Other feedback?

Widen the entrance to 1 - 2 so engineers don't have any/very much cover to hide behind.
