[wip] CP_Dryer_b3

[Earl]

Well after months of sporadic activity, I finally scraped together another release of my map, CP_Dryer. I couldn't find the old thread I had here (created back in Feb), so I decided to create a new thread.

Changes since the last version:

- Added a 40 sec setup time and added gates to the center point building.
- Increased cap times for points
- Vastly improved signage
- Tweaked one of the route's to each team's first point.
- Added slight shortcuts that can be accessed by jumping.
- Added soundscapes
- Added more detail
- Tweaked the terrain
- Optimized a bit more, chopped 10 MB off from the _b2 filesize


I will add the download link as soon as I'm done compiling/uploading.


I am eager to finish this map so I can start on my next idea, so any and all criticism/scrutiny is appreciated. I'll make sure this map gets into the next gameday.

That's a good news, as my players really like your map

Here are some stats from b2 and heatmaps

I can provide you some game replays too

 

[Icarus]

Where do you get these heatmaps?

 

[ColdFire]

I do them with psychostats. I take an overview screenshots, and write down min/max x/y coordinates. Then with the killer/victim positions, psychostats generates these heatmaps

Cool data Coldfire! I like how the number of wins is pretty even for red and blu, even though it's asymmetrical. What do your players like/dislike about the map? I'm really looking for some final feedback.

So my map is the #1 rated CP map on fpsbanana, with glowing reviews that people wrote after simply reading the changelog and looking at the screenshots.... Yay....

Well I don't think they dislike anything
Your map has even been chosen by 2 teams for our internal tournament, though they chose b2 instead of b3. I think it's because they like to scout rush to the middle point. The new b3 with the setup timer blocks the possibility of scout rushing.

 

[ColdFire]

Any news Earl? Will you remove the gates and setup timer so we can scout-rush the middle point again?
And maybe add a few seconds to the "1st/last" point capture time, they're really quick to cap

But dryer is a really liked map on my servers, when the team are the same level, we really have fun
