I'm logging onto the server for a lone playtest now, give you some hints in a couple of minutes

*update* The map now works, is longer and has less problems with bottlenecking In my opinion. Found one problem

Don't think I have a picture but on top of the hill near Blu spawn, if you scout double jump you can see a blue skybox I think.

Other thing is: Are you supposed to be able to jump on top of the shed near Blue spawn (first building when you et out of spawn)

Thanks for feedback! The skybox thing is being fixed, we had not gotten around to creating a 3D skybox for b2, it will be in b3. Here is a screenshot of how it currently looks in version we are working on, at the tip of the V, by CP B (or 2).

As for getting on top of shed (we call it the barn) by blue, you are supposed to be able to. Its a key spot for breaking up Red's sentry defense past the bend.

Nice skybox, hope everything goes well and you get b2 onto the vipers servers soon so we can see it fully in action (unless the guys have tf2f test coming up and if so, drop me the password via steam plz)

Just an update. We are planning to release version b3 in about a week and a half. Jive Turkey has been working non-stop on it and promises some very nice visual improvements.
