So after months I finally have a map to release. However, there is a few things I need to clear up.

First thing is I need to get off my chest is that in all actuality the base map is not mine. Why am I telling you this? Well I know you people are smart and I don't feel like getting yelled for "taking" all the credit.

I first came across pl_noname I knew it had much potential. Months past with now new developments and I eventually forgot about the map. Then one day I was looking over some PL maps for fun and pl_noname came back onto my radar. So being me I wondered what was up with it, thus sending a PM to the map maker and to my great delight I got this back:

So if all your going to do is complain about how its "not my map" bugger off and don't bother posting, if you have a problem with this feel free to PM me but please don't spam the thread.

Anyway now that thats out of the way go download the map!

This map is almost entirely TPG's fault work.

Get it?

Test it, and all truth told I'd rather you come up with your own layout. The map had promise and I still remember it, so let's see what it's got

TTTTTTTTTUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBEEEEEESSSSs

I like the layout, but its FUCKING HUGE. Maybe find some way to connect the "stages" or just make it flat out multistage.

Im sure you know, but the BLU third spawn is broken.

I like the last BLU spawn.

-Fixed broken BLU forward spawn
-Fixed Deathpit

So after a few playtests its clear things need so restructuring. First off the tunnels under the first area have been removed.

Then I am going to move the 1st point back and I am going to put in a proper spawn.


Also to deal with any sentries in the big building BLU will be able to get up to the 2nd floor.


Thats all the changes I have in the works for now so look out for a3 with these and many more changes.

i felt like the whole first area was way too big, but, all in all, it looked like it /could/ be comparable to badwater. (disclaimer: i did good, therefore i say i like)
