What’s with moving the boxes in mid? Now there’s a clear sightline from door to door.

I can’t sleep right now, so let’s take a look at that small change a bit more in depth :D

I drew a picture here:

The red line across is the old sniper sight line from one corner to the other. This isn’t possible anymore, so in that regard is a sniper nerf. Moving the boxes now allows for the green sightline, but the vision there is a bit narrow.

That’s not the main idea behind that change anyway, although I like that effect. If you see the blue lines, they show the “paths” on the bridge. The old position of the boxes didn’t really integrate that path up those 2 smaller bridges into the flow of the map. The boxes with the decreased length of mid were just in the way where they previously were.

The path up from below kind of merges there as well, creating a rather high traffic area which I painted blue.

In the end the effects on actual gameplay aren’t _that_ large to be honest, but it should flow a little nicer.

I do miss the snow theme. As far as places to get stuck on, the map is in beta you know?

Also, this isn’t a problem but it is kinda poor to have things like grass growing out of props: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595821443446528895/504931733420894B18C44EFC5A321B0F2035C70E/

Ugh, what?
Sorry for TGA files. :|

Playing last night and died as we were capping mid. My spawn time went from 12-3 seconds and back to 12 as soon as we capped.

Bug or….?

Also joined one server and the spire and most of the rocks were invisible too, which some would consider cheating…

It’s stupidly hard to push from 1st to 2nd. Quite frustrating really. Have been playing it with my team and we aren’t liking it much, and from what we are hearing from others teams they aren’t liking it either.

Old obscure was miles better than this

How is that helpful? Could of easily said the spawn timer for attackers to respawn is too short. Which would easily address the recapping of cp2? Instead of your moan above along with negativity.

Also to be more positive and helpful, could you provide the src tv of your games on this map so i can see for myself if it’s your team failing or if it’s the map that needs tweaking with spawn timers for attackers.

Cheers
