Hmm, that's strange. We've tested it on a machine with 512mb ram and an X800XT AGP video card and averaged around 22 fps. The map does have a lot of high resolution textures so it might be a memory bandwidth issue.

Tanks for kind comments everybody. I am glad you've enjoy it.

heck ya, nice map

good

-the displacement caves are amazing.

-you can jump off the waterfall!

-great soundscape, it has a nice balance. Not too loud so that you can't hear footsteps, but still enough to maintain the mood and setting

-I really like the river run. I'm so ingrained with video game cliche that as soon as i saw the river i assumed you wouldn't be able to go thru it. nice too see a section of the map like that playable.

-neat green roof on the house by the falls.

-Nice outdoor environment, i really like the scale


bad

-detail props in the skybox

-fps drops significantly in some spots.

-A couple long stretches of map with few playable areas.

All in all a solid map.

2 questions

-How long did it take to make?

-Do you know of any servers running it?

Very beautifull, very nice. Well done! three small crits:

The texturing in "The Back way" is really poorly done and quite strange looking.

There is only one bombsite, you should have labelled it "Bombsite" rather than "Bombsite A" (possible? I don't know anything about de_ mapping)

You shoulda let me fall further down the waterfall/cliffs before dying


There is also one major, showstopping flaw in this map. One that durns it from an A- to an F+....

it's for counter-strike

[Sorrow]

So RTS = gay, and CSS isn't cool either.
what kind of games do you play, if any?

[Blink]

About time we had a new spotlight, nicely done.

[Doomtrain]

erm.... blink,the spotlight thumbnail pic is wrong

[The Watcher]

It's still showing Jake's bg_newcastle...

It's called refresh boys..

[The Watcher]

It's the first time I experienced the bug; so I didn't know. Sheesh...

i dont want this to spin totally off topic, but ill answer that..i like immersive games (rules out RTS) that have alot of action (rules out counter-strile).
