Tied for Fifth Place with Aly's Cloudburst

Reconnaissance! Espionage! Telecommunications!

RED and BLU find themselves in the midst of a scandal. Each team has acquired recorded conversations of eachother - which may lead to one being shut down.

In an effort to retain a lovable reputation, RED and BLU must recover their stored data from the opposite team before the other can do the same!

With a slew of cover-ups revolving around one Epsilon Telecommunications branch, the teams face off in a fast-paced battlefield set between two major Spytech bases.

Oh please! Make it optimizable for yourself!

Also, looks really sexy! Can't wait to play it in a test.

I'd say either close some rooms you have inside the buildings or get rid of some door frames. It may only have been the dev textures but the area right outside of spawn looked all the same.

looks wonderful, but is the lighting REALLY bright, like drugstore bright on purpose?

I don't think it's that bright. It's just the contrast between inside and out.

I loooove the architecture of this map. The direct route to the intel also rocks.
This strikes me as another rape sentry spot:

I also think the map could use a couple more signs directing gameplay. It was difficult to spot the air duct entrance and the path to get up on that bridge in the center.

After a short playtest, I can say that it is a good map, but maybe small (not in travel times, but in the size of some areas, like the insides of the base, and perhaps the width and playable area of the middle).

This is exactly what I was thinking, those areas of the map could stand to be larger. Also, some of those spytech doorways felt like they were in the way, so consider getting rid of a few of the ones that aren't necessary.

Some of the lights were solid, which prevented me from double jumping inside the base.
