2 on the left, 3 on the right. The map finally looks like a real map and not something some newbie whipped up in 4 days :P

you should really hide the hud when you take screenshots.

hrmm in the 1st screen the notice board looks like it's way to high up on the wall. And in the last one, the decals (the "Old Geezer" and the red paint on the floor) as well as the boxes of dynamite don't seem to fit the general theme of the map.
But these are minor details, of course.
This is one of my favorite custom maps and it's looking really good now.

Awesome! That looks amazing.

I'm with Intraman, this is one of my fav custom maps. Can't wait to play on the newer, sleeker looking version.

When wil it be out? :)

Last time I tried, the commands didn't work in TF2. I usually just crop the bottom off.

Unless you know the command, o master.

I'd agree it's a bit offbeat in the stairwell. I like it though, but I may change that up a bit. I use the paint dabs in places just for colorizing around Mach and other places it seems to blend well enough. The sign I'll probably change to something else. Not a ton of great Spytech variation, especially for red.

Um, not too positive. I do know that it'll be coming with the final Impact, and around the same time castle 2 since they jacked up the A/D scoring system so I need to implement that.

[ZargonX]

To hide the hud, open the console, then do sv_cheats 1, followed by cl_drawhud 0

[Nizzem]

You can also hide the weapon/hand model with r_drawviewmodel 0

(sv_cheats should be set to 1)

[Snipergen]

nice vilepickle :)
where do you get the time to build all that :(

[Half-Life_Maniac]

This looks like it's coming along nicely. A definate improvement from the other version there. One of the few maps out there worthy enough for me to even take a look at!

Looks good but I think you should add a little more than new textures to the map. I think that it would be nice to have something like the 3rd floor in the bases or another room on the way into the intell room from the bridge.

The textures are great and keep up to good work, I just hope to see more than texture changes in Mach3.

Two Thumbs up so far :thumbup:

I think the routes are fine as long as they are made more spacious to support the size of the tf2 players.

My bad, I should've posted the changelog too. It's a lot more than just textures.
