Changelog a6: Loads of small fixes (thanks Archy for your finds!)
Really fixed being able to shoot between the logs on mid
Changed the mid area to prevent most classes from reaching the bridge over the cap
Changed the lobby a bit to make it tighter and less clustry
Switched two of the fences on second cap to prevent sightlines and protect the second cap a bit ]]> Maps tovilovan http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=14835 Haarp http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=7358&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:18:56 GMT ---Quote (Originally by release post)--- Released: 06-15-2009 Last Update: 06-13-2009 ---End Quote--- Wut :O

I also think the roof should be accessible and improved upon and what not, and give the ability for all classes to get up there. hardhat improved 1000% from that. maybe a way down to the point like hardhat........ ]]> Maps Prestige http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=14576 ctf_trenchfare http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=14734&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:33:36 GMT ---Quote (Originally by LeSwordfish)--- Its vast. all the cielings and walls are too high. it feels only slightly too short, perhaps complicating...

And camping the intel with sticky-bombs is very easy, since you cant see them under the water. though otherwise the intel room is nice.

And playerclip your staircases. I felt like i was in one of those industrial paint-mixing machines.
Thanks! What I took from your comments were:
1) make walls shorter (already done in a7 WIP, :))
2) Remove water/replace to be see-through (if I can)
3) PLayerclip stairs

The size of the map, lengthwise, is okay, but hallways like you see in the picture are just boring and flat. There is nothing to hide behind, nothing to do. It's just run and shoot. Try and make some hills, put down some props or brushes to spice things up.
Again, thanks.
You think I should
1) Add stuff to hid behind
2) Make stuff look cool

Intel in a water doesn't just feel right. I though RED and BLU would put the intel to better place than that!

And I guess you are going to edit the outer areas? I don't feel like fighting in a crater.

So, with some editing you can make this more playable. Then you can make it even better! Good luck :P
Thanks once more:
1) Add more buildings to use as cover and break up sightlines
2) Again remove water
3) I don't get what you meant by that last comment, do you mean spice up the outer walls of the map. If so that's what I'm doing, most of that stuff was just a placeholder.

Thank you guys for the great and useful input that I will add to a7.

Also, i'd have liked some more view of what was going on in the center. The doors felt off, but i'm just an arena noob. though i would have liked some mid-level acess to the room. You have the potential for an awesome layered battle here, but the closed doors split it into a fight at the top, where you cant see things because of the curve, and a battle at the bottom. The bottom and the lower level are cool though.

Also, the arched walkway felt odd to me. like i was in a flying trench or something, maybe it would be better flattened out, or with a barrier like the lower level. ]]> Maps LeSwordfish http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=14921 Machina http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=11679&goto=newpost Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:12:28 GMT ---Quote (Originally by Tyker)--- These doors didnt really look like doors to me when I saw them.

I'm actually planning on getting rid of those entirely. Originally they were there because the other door (that leads from the middle into that area) wasn't, so I needed them to break LoS, and avoid people sniping from the back of the corridor. I ended up deciding to put a door at the start anyways, so I think they were rendered redundant.

I got lost sometimes, even I started to know the places -> layout is a little confusing and not solid.

It looks like turbine, atleast for me. You gotta add something special to it!
