CP_Midgard

Mostly just concept at the moment, I have about half of the middle point's basic details done.

The map is set in an icy climate, I've only seen a couple snow/ice textured maps.

Third point is a raised area that is between two 'Snow forts' that are large castles of ice. There are 6 ways to get to the point not counting explosive jumps.

Second & Fourth points are inside the castles, and focus on a variety of heights to combat from, and feature plenty of side routes in case you don't want to go guns blazing through the front gate.

First and Fifth points are on relatively small icebergs floating in the middle of a large pool of water. It should be pretty hard to defend as there are numerous trenches to get up to it and the point can be assaulted from any direction because there are waterways that empty into the pool.

I will post screenshots as soon as it doesn't look bad.

Sounds cool. WIsh I could play custom maps. Got tf2 for pc for christmas, and still havent played it yet due to computer trouble and grades...

    Cool. What kind of map is it supposed to be; competitive, public or NomNomish?

sounds cool. will be a welcome change from all the desert maps. best of luck.

I'm hoping to land somewhere between Comp. and Pub. I constantly rage at chokepoints, especially when there are one or two routes, so I'll probably be basing a lot of the architecture off of my experiences in game.

Sounds interesting, just don't put too much work into textures and visuals until you get a workable map and please don't put any lowered traction into it either (if that is even possible).  We should do a playtest of this once you get a beta out.

I will say this, iirc all of the default snow and ice textures come w/ reduced traction automatically.  So you'll either have to create your own or alter the existing ones in vtfedit.

No one else thinks this sound "exactly" like 2fortsnowfort(or whatever)?

Minus the flags, plus cps. of course.

I feel silly even having to mention it.

2FortSnowFort is like 2Fort snowy? Or it's different?

I don't know the name of the map, Phoenix.

I apologize.

But. I have played on a map remarkebly similiar to what you're describing.
