Is this the new "updated localisation files"?

Oh man dem props...

 

[Moonfixer]

Nice!

 

[Shogun]

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

 

[wareya]

Dat not-devtexture devtexture.

Eurostile number overlays. Nice. Very nice indeed.

 

[radarhead]

This detailing in itself makes up for all of EOTL.

Except for the snowplow snubbing.

 

[Lampenpam]

They only put the new props in RED's base. They just had to give hte props a blue skin and mirror it into the other base... but instead when you play the map now it's now ugly-station vs better-looking-station

 

[hutty]

if you look at the underground tunnels, they are different shapes for each size (one is circle one is a trapezoid)

so its possible that they are planning to make blue side detailed differently

 

[BigBros]

They are detailing blu's side differently, like they always do.

 

[Moonfixer]

I look forward to seeing how it looks later on.

 

[hutty]

they don't always ... foundry was pretty identical on both sides ... as is 5gorge

 

[Pocket]

5gorge was a straight copy-paste job because it's an abomination that was never meant to be. I'm pretty sure it was actually community-made, or at least the community made a version and Valve went "OK we'll just take that and make it over again because it was our map to start with".

Foundry I can understand because both bases are the exact same type of facility, and pretty much all the rest are community maps so we can blame that on lack of creativity or a desperate drive to pander to comp players. It's a little odd to be making two space stations different on the inside, though. Usually once you get into the industrial/Spytech type theming, you hit the palette swap zone, and a space station ought to be pretty much nothing but industrial/Spytech, or at least a spacefaring equivalent.

 

[Moonfixer]

I wonder if the asymmetry will go as far as it does in koth sawmill.

 

[radarhead]

I wonder if the asymmetry will go as far as it does in koth sawmill.

Naw, it's still a symmetrical map.

 

[Moonfixer]

Naw, it's still a symmetrical map.

O OK then, gotcha.

"A Valve employee has stated that the idea for 5Gorge existed months before Gorge was released."

 

[Crash]

I always thought 5 gorge should have rotated the other direction. Make what is the final now the last on both ends and make a unique mid where the spawn is. That way the last half of the map isn't the opposite of how the map is intended to be played.

It was actually a plan for Stoneyridge at one point, a tower on each end, but we never ended up doing it.
