CP Valdez a12

[Silverus]

Yeah, I would say the biggest problem was the 2-3 area. There are just so many ways in that it's hard to hold and can be hard to push. As a medic, I'd often be trying to connect with my team to defend 2, none of them would know how to comm their position and then I'd randomly run into someone from the other team that seemed as equally lost. It was sort of funny but it probably isn't the desired gameplay

Alright, ill work on fixing that this week then, ill probably redo the entirety of that area. Thanks!

Boom.
Bumping to show the progress of Valdez. It needs optimization and a few tweaks, but is otherwise pretty much ready for another release!

What do you guys think?

Gameday Bump.
So from what I saw on the feedback page (cause i wasnt there), the main thing is the sightlines on the 2nd point, and a few dark places and such. On the topic of 2nd, Is it because of the sniper "perch" to the left of the point? Or is there another place with a huge sightline?

Yeah, Mike decided he was going to bait Eulogy and placed sticks at Eulogy's feet knowing that someone would jump the sniper. It worked out really well.

Pugged your map again. People enjoyed 2nd the most but felt the connectors were sort of bad and a little confusing.

When you say the connectors, do you mean the ones between mid-second or second-last?

 

[waxpax]

It was all of them, but 1-2 especially.

It took me the longest to figure out how 1 and 2 connected than any other part of the map.

Its looking good, but could you change your snow textures? I think the map would look better with the barnblitz or viaduct ones.

Actually, I did use the barnblitz textures, i just havent done alpha paint on any of the textures.

The one above the point isnt displaced, so they wouldnt look very good with the actual snow textures i would use, so i used nature/snowfull_001. The ones on the left are barnblitz though.
