I've just had a run through on this map, and it looks pretty cool.

There seems to be a bug - there's a ladder which appears to go up to the roof, but you can't climb it.

I don't think you're supposed to be able to get to the roof- it might have been a planned idea, but from the looks of it, Source would explode it Xj2 tried adding anything more to it. We just had a runthrough with about 5-6 people depended on the time- I love this map to death. If you go outside, Nightvision is actually useful. I think this is the only map ON TG where it is. I love how many entry points there are, this is a huge advantage for the t's, I know, but I have a feeling its going to make the map last a lot longer without going stale. I think this map might supplant aaa for me as the uuber de_map.

I give this map a pwn out of five.

PS, I have a new favorite hiding place in bombsite A, expect to get wtf'd from it quite a bit ^^

Bingo

I did toy with the idea very early on but the visibility a player would have from up the towers would easily give you a framerate in the single figures, plus I had to seal the church off with areaportals which are.... never mind, it was just a no-no

The ladders were put there to make it look like there was a plausible way to get into the towers for realisms sake, but judging by the number of people who are getting confused by it, it was a bad design decision on my part, sorry!

Hehe, no problem. Would an indoor balcony be too much to ask for a later version, or would source still splode? You know, going around the outside of the pillars? Sorta like the Mansion in GunZ if you've ever played that.

We played this again last night to a crowd that seemed to really enjoy it. Any chance of getting this puppy on the regular rotation?

At least throw some bells up there for musical sport

**whistler** · 02-05-2006, 02:12 AM

By the way, I see this map already is in the rotation. Umm, my bad?

**Vulcan** · 02-06-2006, 09:53 AM

So is it worthy? I've taken it out till it's approved.

Ben · 02-06-2006, 11:15 AM

Yeah. It's big, and has lots of routes, so its difficult for both teams. A slow approach is favored, although I have see a B rush work with the right teamwork. Defintitely a PCS map.

**Quest Shady** · 02-06-2006, 03:04 PM

I like the map...very big...I think it was Josh said that it was one of the only maps where the scout works really well inside of a building...LOL!!

Once everyone gets used to it I think it would be great to play more often...

measley · 02-15-2006, 03:51 PM

I love this map too.

We need more maps where there are more than 2 or 3 set routes. For example, italy: middle stairs, long hallway, apartments

Thats what makes maps like this and kismayo ideal for TG
