    Looks pretty good IMO, I like that the additions they've made to Dust appear to be from one of the first iterations that DaveJ did, but he removed the stair in the tunnel for some reason. Always felt it would make for a better and more tactically interesting level~

    It is indeed a mixture of sadness and happiness for me. He's a fucking ironman, battling cancer and still keeping and active role in basically making Apple one of the biggest and most successful companies on the planet. Say what you want but he's changed so much in our industry, and has without a doubt made the most insane company turnaround in history.

    Really sad to see him go, but on the other hand then I can't think of anyone deserving a rest more. Hope he'll be able to live for many years more.

    /me raises cup of coffee to Steve~

    Mazy, I have to say, I just played 5 rounds but I love your map Battles are very interesting around the point and it's fun to defend (lot of cover but not too many). Snipers don't look overpowered because of all the cover we have between the point and corridors and the roof on the side brings a good advantage.

    Maybe too many roads, in 5 rounds I never took the underground tunnel and I never went in the house. It's maybe a bit confusing in terms of looks (but it's probably me) you a a max of wood, concrete, brick and metal in some place. Corridor are a bit simple too but i'm sure you are waiting for a top notch gameplay for this. :derp:

    Need more test to see any problem with it

    ha ! Should work for arena too with closer spawnroom.

    Sweet, thanks man ~~

    Yeah you do tend to get a bit paranoid when you're around the middle of the map. I'm still trying to figure out a way of making it a tad more directed an slightly easier to follow what's going on, but on the other hand that's also what I like about it Do have a few ideas that I'll try out for the next iteration though.

    Two of my biggest issues with the level right now are exactly what you're referring to, that the tunnel and house are very rarely used. This latest iteration had the house slightly differently outfitted, but I'm probably gonna change it a bit more and possibly combine the two windows into one large one. Both of them are sort of meant to be spots for the engie to set up camp, but they are a bit too hard to defend which is probably why few build anything there. Might add a small health pack down there for some more incentive to go there.

    By the way, do you have any thoughts on the pickups in general? Too many? Too few? Placement? Most people complain about there being too few health packs or not large enough health packs when they first try it out, but after a few rounds that usually goes away. Rather have too few than too many, but it might be a tad too few right now. Thinking of adding a medium health pack in the T-section in the spawn corridors just before the arena, will probably be enough penalty that players will have to backtrack a bit away from the CP.

    Oh and visually there's still a shitload of work to be done, but I'm taking it one thing at a time ~

    Again, much appreciated that you joined the playtest. Hope you'll join in on the next one

    i used to find wilhelm screams funny ... but now they take me out of the experience ... it feels like some sound guy inappropriately inserted a fart sound somewhere or something ... immersion breaker.

    Same :G
