just letting you guys know that i have finished drawing out plans for my next map and will start in HAMMER tonight. it will be a cross between KOTH and shipping, but smaller then both of them. it will be as open as possible like KOTH, but small enough that it won't kill the fps. i am also going to experiment with making as many breakable walls as possible with the detpack. just so you guys don't get your hopes up, i'm not a fan of the combine balls, so just like all my other maps, they won't be in this one either. i haven't decided if i will put the rocket launcher in yet. i will have to build the map and see how if feels first. if i think it might fit, then i will add it, but unless i feel it has a purpose it will be left out of this one too.

sniping is fun, i enjoy it too. that is why the roofs of both bases will be open for snipers to camp out. with that in mind, i'm not giving them full cover, they will be exposed to fire from the opposite base or from the ground. the object is still to capture the other teams flag, not to camp out and get as many kills as possible.

well this level isn't turning out as well as i thought it would. it looked good on paper but it just doesn't feel right running through it. i have already scrapped the idea of many breakable walls because anywhere that i put them they seem out of place. i am also running into a fps issue. i haven't finished texturing or adding the water yet and i'm already down to 50 fps in some places. i am building this one on my laptop, so i expect it to run a bit lower, but if the water drops it into the red i will have to scrap the map. we all know what happens when a full server jumped onto a map like that. in the end its easier to build a new map then fix it. i should either have the first beta version done this weekend or i will be scrapping the map.

here are some screenshots of my newest map. it still needs a lot of detail work, but the fps seem to be fine.  this one is on top of the rebel base where you can snipe of into the other base.  side ramps allow another route into the enemy base if you can bring the detpack to the side and blow a hole in it.  water access in the combine base. and just like my other maps, the spawn doors are built with triggers that will kill the opposite team upon entry. this set up makes spawn killing impossible.
