a fan scout can already grab the healthpack atm :p

i know, but it’s quite useless as you have only 100hp when you land on the ground then

Map is so goddamn awesome <3333

:O!!! lol mikey such enthusiasm is always welcome! Btw tonight i shall be posting a .avi courtesy of Dybsal (hope i got his name right lol) showing you why the health pack is that high and where the prime area of rj originally was planned for…

As it’s come apparent certain players can’t rj very well and more crucially can’t realise or comprehend the game play of why it isn’t lower!

I’ve had a few wanting it lowered but more so to leave it where it is so we shall see! :-)

Where can I DL the .avi? :o

Aye sorry mikey should of really said, instead just showing you the health pack .avi thingy i’m hopefully going to be doing a run-thru of obscure in a .avi, hopefully when i get a chance in the upcoming month + codcrille putting some textures on the map will make the video look better :p

An update will be out next Monday or Tuesday cp_obscure_beta1 i’m hoping, also watch out for a 1 night etf2l obscure cup.

Ok. Looking forward to the new update ^^

Hi, I’d be in favour of lowering the Fragga-pack by about 4-5 feet at mid just as Fragga suggested (I’ve had a look at it with a scattergun scout in thirdperson jumping off the crates and you could lower it that amount without them being able to get to it). Admittedly this would allow fan scouts to get it more easily.. but doing a force jump would leave them extremely exposed right in the middle of the map so I think it’s probably a fair trade off.

I do understand, as Byte has mentioned, that the pack as it stands isn’t at the extreme apex of what can be accomplished with a rocket jump, indeed you can get it on the upswing of your jump and land on the enemy crates (provided you jump fairly late to give yourself the appropriate trajectory). Having said that I think if it was a bit lower it would allow for a greater variety of more aggressive jumps to be used and we’d see a soldier going for it every rush to mid (which is surely the intention).

I’d also just like to say that I think the general idea of the pack itself is an absolute stroke of genius; I love trying to get to the mid fight as quickly as possible as soldier but on many maps there’s no incentive to outpace the medic even if this is fairly easy to accomplish, this pack then adds a really fun extra facet to the initial encounter at mid :)

Having said all that, in a spirit of full disclosure, I should point out that I’ve only looked around the map and haven’t played any scrims/pickups on it so feel free to weight my opinion accordingly :)

I was wondering if you are going to make it easier to push into 4th? Atm there is really only one viable push route(the door on the left) and because it/the corridors are so small it makes it such big choke. It would be nice if the route on the right was more viable for the heavys to push out of and from what I’ve heard you have already planned something like this.

Even if it wasn’t made easier for the heavys to push out of atm a scout can’t get into the room on the right without being seen from someone on the crates so a surprise flank is pretty much impossible. Would just like some confirmation on whether these rumours are going to be implemented. Otherwise it’s a nice map and has some new interesting features.

Removing the small hp? Guess we all have to drop a scout for a heavy then :P

No, scout for sniper, sniper works well on this map ^^
