PL Pollution A8

Pollution - Re-pollute the enemy!

Pollution is my first ever attempt at a multistage payload map. I've learned from my misstakes with Basetown, and have looked at multiple official payload maps trying to learn what makes a map fun. Currently, only the first stage is in the works, with the second and third stage being added later on.

Known bugs:

• Sometimes the map gets really dark.
• The timer and progression HUD may be missing.
• One of the spawn doors at...

Just from looking at that first picture, it looks like you'll have some massive sightline issues with how open it is.

We playtested Alpha 7 last night and I was pretty impressed with this map, you have a really solid foundation for the first stage. I'm looking forward to seeing future revisions and more stages going forward.
