Also I'm going to disagree with Blob: don't remove the midboxes. Snipers are good there, but can't see everywhere always, and as the three exits to mid are in totally different places, will get killed easily. I think it's a good way to let other classes on there and keeping the balance.
- Put health and ammo in other places + make them smaller (some medium ones -> small ones)
- Remove boxes at the middle building (?)
- Try to find something to fix overpowered sentries at middle
- Team which's holding the middle = overpowered ?
And if you played a10 please post your feedback and/or opinion!
You gotta look at it like this: Any team that takes a hold of the middle with engineers is probably A) deserving of exploiting the fact that they managed this and B) are generally playing better than the team that is turtling and allowed this to happen in the first place. I have no sympathy for a team on 2fort that allows the enemy to put up 3 sentries outside their base and then goes on to moan about it for the duration of this event.
reduce access to ammo in the middle if need be, provide it on the battlements if you have to. Allow people to stock up on ammo when they access the enemy base. Or at least limit ammo to the small ones. engineer bases in the middle shouldn't be an issue for comp ctf. Sentries in the middle is just the nature of 24+ player pub ctf.
- Remove railings from the pipe model
- Change the health/ammo packs at the battlements
- Remove boxes at middle
- Find something better for boxes at the intel area, or I might just leave them as they are
- Detail whole map
- Optimize better
- 3D-skybox
- .. and other tiny changes ^^
Since this is a comp map, don't make it hard for Medics to get around. The pipe is a great escape route for Demomen, Soldiers and Scouts, but the Medic will have to do some super annoying precision jumping if he wants to follow them. Make the jumps simpler or get the stairs back in there.
Yeah as you noticed I didn't come online the last week anymore, and didn't work on stockpile either. The saturday before last saturday my pc got broken, and 3 days after that I went to Barcelona. Now in Barcelona my internet is working, but for some odd reason steam says it can't connect to internet. I will be back next saturday, and than hopefully have enough time left-over to make b1.
Btw, if you have any ideas to fix this problem, please tell me. >.<
wow, that comes unexpected. you really really turned that thing into a full glory beauty piece
