BIFF!

CP_Triplet
Current version: B4
Formerly known as cp_escapist



A simple 3 control point map that aims to promote tight, aggressive, team focused play. The layout, although simple, should offer a number of routes & room to manoeuvre, and hence should encourage flanking and a variety of other tactics. So without further ado, here is cp_triplet_b4 in all it's organised, optimised stylee. Enjoi.

Thanks to ABS for his resource pack, Icarus for textures, Y_M for prefabs, and Rexy and Acumen for models. If you see anything that I've not mentioned let me know.

Looks like a problematic sightline in the second screenshot. Is the roof in the 3rd screenshot accessable wihout rocket/sticky-jumping? If not that could be problematic too. I'll try and give this a more in depth run-through later.

I've played this map. It is absolutely glorious and professionally done. But fix that damn fish. >: O

I like the escapist magazine but you should probably remove the logo/sign that's blatently promoting it. Or atleast remove it in an official release if it's for a contest or something.

Other than that, it's pretty pretty.

It was for a contest for the Escapist. That is why there is logos everywhere. :|

Okrag, Not sure what you mean about the sightline. Any chance you could elaborate please? The roof in the third pic is only accessible by rocket / sticky jumping but it's not caused any problems in playtests so far. It's on the flanking routes and is totally away from the control point so there's not much point camping it.

Grazr, I'm kind of in two minds about the logos. On the one hand this map would never have been made if they hadn't commissioned it for their tournament, on the other they are pretty huge bits of free advertising. I did try and make the overlays look like they belonged in TF2 and in some ways I think they fit the building pretty well. I'm open to further discussion on the subject and name suggestions too.

Leminnes, thanks man, don't worry that damn fish will not beat me, worse case scenario: he's fired.

Cheers for the feedback guys.

Yea, well i guessed as much, but it doesn't have to stay there if the submission has already been made. TF2maps has run several contests and some have required TF2maps advertisement posters in them. But when the map is developed after the contest people don't have to keep those advertisements.

As a member of The Escapist I don't mind the logos as much. However, they look out of place because a lack of TF2 flair. This mainly stems from the text font, if it say were more of a TF2 font I think it would blend in much better.

[Boylee]

If I remember rightly the font is DIN, which is one of the fonts used by VALVe. :S
Anyway I think I'll pull them eventually, but I'll need a replacement as that's a BIG empty wall otherwise.

As it is the central building is pretty generic so I'm not sure what type of overlays would look good instead. I guess making up another TF2 sounding company and sticking up some logos of that would be best. Also needs a new name in that case...

Too many lights for one room.
