I really like it Could you make a sketch with the main routes in the layout?

[Noodles]

Looks nice but the centre building needs more.

[Chopium]

I must say I really like the name. I can see you've learned a lot from your last map. Looks super so far!

Something to connect the symmetry line up there would be cool. Maybe extend some of your buildings out a bit.

Looks great, but the building in the middle needs ALOT more detail since the entire map is kinda focusing on that one point, that's where the most detail should be due to the players being around that area the most.

[jgoodroad]

yeah add more cover around the middle, like wooded walls or sheet metal...kind of like the middle of fastlane.

Yeah, I thought of adding some sort of a pipe like Granary's last point where you pointed out in that screenshoot.

lol, I usually try to work on 4-5 maps at once because I have a lot of free time and I get bored quickly working on one map at once plus I map very fast so working on different maps at once is nothing to me. I map when I go to my Graphic Design class since the teacher doesnt care what we do in class so that gives me more time to work on my maps.

[YokaI]

I have to say, your productivity astounds me. Some very promising maps and all of them very close to eachother.

Needless to say, I'm jealous. Good work on this map too btw, I hope to give it a play soon.

I finally got some time to release RC1. This version has the huge changes that I have made to the map.
First, it has a whole second floor above the point which makes this a unique KOTH map and a bunch of other stuff.
Updated first post with new pics/info.

sniff...whats that I smell,

It smells like an official map!

[Psy]

Isn't this just a KOTH version of Mainline? The 2 maps have very similar middle areas.
