Seeing as I’ve done a quick examine of this map and i already prefer it to Snakewater, i thought i’d take a few screens of stuff i found and maybe a few things you could change?

Found this gap in the wall when i went onto the red side of middle. I didn’t find a gap like this on the blue side, i am not sure if it is just me that sees that or other people do.

I also found this bar looking thing that you can walk through.

Is there any chance you could change this ledge so soldiers can jump onto it? Seems quite a good hiding spot or a place where you can look into last from the attacking side.

I was doing a few different rollouts for demo and soldier, i made a few myself but one thing that annoyed me was the ramp from left side spawn doesn’t extend to the wall meaning soldiers jump is quite shorter and doesn’t reach the door.
If possible, could it be extended to the black line where my crosshair is pointing?

One other thing i noticed was these pipes on the flanks can’t be jumped over.

This second screen is just to show how you can’t jump over them which can be annoying if you’re going to flank or bomb a medic after a wipe on middle.

One last thing for now is something i want to say i love and that’s this window here, being able to jump through it made me happy as bombing medics who push that way would be very cool. Please don’t alter these windows.

If any of these screens are bad let me know, just one last thing, i only checked the blue side for bugs or whatever so i’ll check the red side now and see if i can find anything else.

Great post, that’s a lot of good ideas. I don’t really know what causes the first bug, but I found it myself right now. I’ll probably not alter the clipped off things (they are for a reason) but I might add a little ledge in right side lobby (attackers perspective) so you can look out the windows. I’ll definitely extend the ramp right outside spawn, it’s been bugging me as well. And yes, the window is intended :) The main idea is that it’s for demo spam in and out, but bombing through there is definitely viable.

I think i’ll let you fix the map now until a new version is out and check it for you again after you release a new version :)

I asked him to do that seeing as it would greatly help bombing soldiers and it is only soldiers that can get up there.

Any chance when you’re finished the base work of the map, you could see if you could do some of the ideas i mentioned, i’m only really interested in the hiding spot and jumping over the pipes. The rest would be your choice :p

The pipes won’t happen I’m afraid; the possible demo jumps would most likely be way too powerful, not to mention the strongpoint you’d control when on top of the pipes. But I might add some hiding spots; we’ll see about that.

That looks far nicer
It may need some expanding but it looks like you can improve that much more than the previous one

Yeah, running around as scout it still feels a little tight, but it might prove not to be a bad thing. At least it’s a LOT more open than before.
