Feedback Instructions:
Please leave constructive criticism. I particularly want any found bugs, how the attack/defend balance is (play for more than one round before determining this please), and class balance. As for detail, I am working on this

Will download and critique/give feedback sometime soon

Thanks Chompa, looking forward to it.

Pretty big map, but since a lot of servers use 32 players nowadays, it would probably work well. There are a lot of empty areas though, especially in the side rooms. But I'll continue to run around and see if I spot anything.

I think we should test out this map during a Failander where we have 10v10. Looked pretty interested and extremely big! I'm guessing you made it that way, so unlike other pl maps where scout is pretty useless; the scout can be effective~

I am going to add a third CP since track is so long. The empty areas will be filled up significantly. My next step is to fix any found errors and to continue adding obtacles and detail.



I do want a good bit of openness (it is a canyon afterall), but not as much as currently exists. I do want every class to enjoy the map, so any class specific feedback would be great. Finally, any server time would be great.

Here is a current To Do list to try and avoid too much redundant feedback.

Current To Do
1. Fix game_round_win so Red can win when time expires
2. Fix hole at top of blue side rock arch
3. Shrink outer cave so it is not so wide
4. Add wall displacements to center caves
5. Add more buildings and other obstacles to open spaces
6. Add a LOT more detail
7. Add code so servers can have map go into sudden death
8. Add third CP
9. Clean up cliff displacements where faces aren't lining up
10. Smooth out hills to prevent stickness
11. Render cubemaps in LDR and HDR
12. Maybe add small water puddles on blue side to dampen red players when they drop down
13. Create and add Vipers 'wanted posters'
14. Create and add map video
15. Create and add map start screen

Yeah, good luck with this. Usually payload maps are good are all classes except Scout.
I'd say, make sure there are open areas so scout is effective. That's the only class that seems to rarely be an asset in payload maps. Open spaces will allow scouts and snipers to be more effective. Looks good so far though~

Its a really big and nice looking map i think you out did yourshelf i had so much fun with it .
