Team Fortress 2

The map that I have been working on for the past three months is finally ready for it's public beta! Roughly 150 or so hours went into this since late December and an initial test last night proved it to have no major balance or flow issues with a full server.

Its unique in its capture point style, read the full description on FPSBanana and download it there. Feel free to leave feedback here or on FPSBanana.

Engine Room

Cargo Room

Red Dock

Red Spawn

Bridge

I have still not had time to do spring cleaning on the maps, hopefully I will be done on Tuesday...

Downloading map pack now, will try and get on there tonight if I'm not at Blindside's pad, watching him beat hobos.

Map looks great! I won't be there tonight to try it, but I'll definitely have to give it a whirl soon!

And thanks for the playtesting on TNF for my map; it was a real help. Now time for revisions...

I will be absent for this weeks FNF. I'm going to the Comedy Club to get me some lulz. Maybe I can get there later into it. Have fun everybody.

Ohhh, so that's what you've been spending all that time in SourceSDK doing. Look forward to failing miserably at it. :)

Good chance that if I do come out tonight, it won't be until later on. Food then friends who don't understand the magic of TF2 are on tap for tonight. :p

I need no guide to tell me I suck at TF2. I already know I do.

Awesome map. Its nice to actually see a map where a Scout is not only useful but vital.

Nice map, posting my thoughts in the forum.

I'd like to see this map on rotation. It's hectic, and I like the whack-a-mole thing with the three center points--you only need two, but crap, Blu's got someone at all 3! We got two. Who the ####'s capping middle? I agree with others: please try to put CP_Science-style icons on the control point statuses. I know middle is the barn--I mean, cargo bay--but we kept getting confused on what was "bridge" and what was the "basement". lol, mst3k space mutiny: "What kind of spaceship has a basement?" Oh, and that thing we talked about with that space issue between a barricade and the support column in final cap room for a passable gap--that, too. I have a love-hate relationship with the steep ramps but ultimately they're pretty fun. Thanks for the effort on this and letting us play it.

That map looks pretty damn awesome. Sorry I couldn't make it to FNF, but I was computerless in Miami.

The only thing I lament - as I write this, having not played this thoroughly enough, from my grandparents' condo in Southern pines - is the second level wraparound terrace in the Cargo room. Sure, it's lovely for spies to dash up there in the beginning of the round and enjoy themselves giving snipers the old Harlem shank, but I think things would really flow better if people had to dismount from that lovely view every once in a while. If it's final, though, it's final - and I love it nonetheless.

Bah, Still need to play this new map. Looks great from the screens though, can't wait :)
