Upland is a 5 point attack/defend map with the same format as Steel.

[Dr. Element]

The mid point seems kinda unacessible... Does it lower as you capture the other points? Because that would perhaps work out

[honeymustard]

Yes.

[Fr0Z3n]

Thats how steel works...

Idk, it feels flat in a few too many places, and has some very open and long areas, where heavy's and snipers could dominate (i'm looking at A and B specifically).


I like D though, don't know why. And B really need supports on the floors, looks silly without them.

It's alpha. and I wouldn't make the other assumptions based on the screenshots.

It really wasn't a problem in the first test last night. I was very surprised at how well it went.

And yeah, I want to get some more height variation in. Don't worry about it, its only an alpha.

a slow door at C, a window overlooking E from A, a drop in blu spawn...I've seen it somewhere

also rocketjumping seemed to be more useful than in most maps

[TMP]

This map was a blast as a fan scout, literally, it's like you designed it in mind

Quit stealing the whole "infinite routes" from petrol though >_>

We took apart steel and realized the maptype doesn't really function without those things, so we introduced variation wherever we could otherwise, like with the points, spawn locations, and routes to E.

I've never heard of petrol, though

[TMP]

In short, Petrol was made by Icarus, then given to me, then given to moose, then I dunno. But basically, when I came along, B ended up becoming a point that had like infinite routes in once you got into it.

It plays out interestingly when you do such a thing but it may be a bit too complex in terms of everything. (THIS IS REFERRING TO YOUR MAP)

And you do not need the drop in blu spawn!
