[S.W.A.T.Y]

Consider rc6 pretty much final, I doubt there will be anymore versions of the map. Everything is pretty much fixed. Im finally happy how this map turned out.

Change Log from RC5 to rc6

-Removed the "fake doors"
-Big fps boost around 2nd and mid point.
-Removed the crate at mid and placed a platform
-Made 2nd easier to defend by putting a door where the glass window was so that makes it easier to defend it.
-Removed the small health pack at 2nd point.
-Lowered the cap point on last, height wise so it should be easier to attack it and attacking it.
-Removed the big pipe on last and raised the ground so its easier accessing the point.
-Fixed the splash dmg at mid.
-Added a cover when you get out of the first spawn so it takes some time to get around it and get to the point and people wont hide in the spawn.
-Made mid less scout friendly by removing the boxes so it will take more time for a scout to get up the train.
-Fixed a few other things as well.
-Moved the ammo pack on 2nd so its easier to see.
-Moved back the health cabinets in the spawn so its easier to attack last.
-Lowered the respawn times.
-Widen all the small entrances.
-Drastically shorten the valley side so its more useful now.
-Resized the size of the last point so its much smaller now for 6v6.
-Reworked all the interior areas.
-Added a route at last.

Extremly atmospheric map for sure.

seems to be kinda random. its raining, theres christmas lights but no snow...not much detail either. im sure this is just WiP, I'm just saying.

Looking alright.

I really like the lights strung up over the middle point, although the ivy on it might be a bit heavy for that thin of ropes. I also like the dark lighting in the second to last picture, I think you should make all the environmental light like that. The bright yellow doesn't match the dark red sunset skybox well.

Some of the lights look too bright though and some floors are textured badly. I think it'd be good to have the floors more natural and dirt/grass around instead of all concrete and use a little less grated areas. It'd look better than putting those bad displacement piles on top of the concrete and grates. Some of your buildings could use some more interesting architecture too, but I'm sure you'll be changing those a bit in later releases.

Keep up the good work.

Everything said on the internet is 100% true.
Therefor, the below must be true.

People do not celebrate Christmas in any place it doesn't snow.

Just because they're colored lights doesn't mean they're Christmas lights. They're strung up at festivals and carnivals, other gatherings like that. I agree they don't completely fit with the theme right now but they still look nice.

Some pics of the changes in beta 2.




This is the new path to the middle point, its underground.

[Major Banter]

It's under-fucking-water.

Won't that make combat a little, uh, slower paced down there?

[Mr-Jigsaw]

Those pointy mountains look a little funny, but other than that it looks good.

[S.W.A.T.Y]

Some changes that I have made in the first part of the map.

[jgoodroad]

well with the added displacements it looks 10 times better, my only problem with the above is that the wooden planks don't look too appealing, maybe you can deleet one and make the othere ones bigger? they are a bit out of place. and with the first pictures you could remove the grass surrounding the point, it looks odd when surrounded by grates and it's a little off.

[Chopium]

I honestly suggest some revision on the environment lighting. I'm not digging it. Green/Yellow often makes people feel sick, so you might want to change the color to something else. Test it out and see what works; it looks great so far.

[YokaI]

I think the main problem is that there isn't enough lighting that isn't caused by the environment light: and by that I mean lighting going on outside. With this dark theme, even though it doesn't really need it, some detail lights and visual lighting may make it seem more interesting outside. They don't even need to be real lights as long as they look like they work. That's just imo. You do it a bit with the Christmas lights, which is awesome, but I think it could use some more interesting lighting as well.

Looks pretty cool though. There's a few moments where your spot lights don't match the lamp they are coming from in angle. I like the ivy on the rope, but I think you may need to place them on better spots of the rope. They feel very odd in some areas but in others it looks pretty cool and unique.

[jgoodroad]

you could allways just have random spotlights jutting out in every direction, I mean... it worked for nucleus, right.
