Default Saguaro
PL Saguaro
By Hanz

Saguaro is a single stage PL map. The map is not as huge as the most PL maps, the distances between the points are not too long.

The map is set in a western environment and will have a theme like Goldrush or Badwater.

Special thanks to:

-A Boojum Snark (Ultimate Mapping Resource Pack)
-Acegikmo (Environment gallery)
-eerieone for urging to pick old saguaro up again

Yes! I'm remaking Saguaro at the moment! I guess I can release tomorrow, only gotta do playerclips and ammo/health packs yet.

What to see in next version:












Also, thread has been purged because this is kind of a new map and the old one was full of clutter about the older versions.

From playtest:

- Map needs more "oomph" - it plays well, is well designed, but it's doesn't have that little shine yet that makes it special. The start and end areas especially could do with a little fun experimenting
- Weird gates around the first point that do not open when it's capped.
- Can't walk back into the forward spawns.
- A few more arrows would be nice.
- More of a personal thing, but: we've seen so much badwater/goldrush themed payload maps. Please consider making it gorge or lumberyard themed!
- End area has a weird structure with an odd one-way gate for RED. Consider making one big spawn instead of two tiny ones, and extend it all the way across the top to where the one-way gate is now. That would make a little more sense.

Yeah Tinker and me just found another theme for the map. Saguaro is a sort of cacti, so one of the themes had to have something to do with cacti.

[Option 1] I could use the old, planned one:

Goldrush themed -> desert -> cacti

[Option 2] Or the new one:

A gorge themed map with secret plantations of cacti in the base, and maybe 1 huuuuge cacti.

Edit: And there will also be greenhouses.

Who votes for option 1 and who votes for option 2?
