Finally, its been to long since I could release something new.

Insurgency mod level,

goal of this map was to make a level where the insurgents were on the offensive side,

have a large open environment with no close fog range and still decent fps in lower systems.

(no download its automaticly downloaded when installing insurgency on steam)

Nice stuff! I think the map looks very well put together. And just looking at the screens I can imagine it'd be a blast to play with all that open space

I really like how the skybox and lighting completes the whole feel of the level.

Good job

Good job man, the sense of scale in this map is amazing!

This map looks amazing! I've never realy got into Insurgency but the screenies alone make me wanna fire it up again and check this out. I really love maps that give that open sense of surrounding and you've absolutely nailed the atmosphere here. Great job!

Looks great

I've been playing a lot of insurgency lately and just when the maps start getting a bit repitive, bam! a new map is out.

I played a few rounds on it this morning and was VERY impressed.

The gameplay is perfect and the visuals! All the lightmapping is nothing less than superb, lighting/hdr/tonemapping is perfect, details are perfect, presentation of the urban landscapeness is perfect, the draw distances/fog is perfect, unlike sinjar which has yucky yucky fog that blocks everything after 5 metres. Definitely one of the best looking maps/things in general I have yet to see on the source.\

Once the server changed maps from it everybody started feverishly typing rtv and within 2 minutes we were back on karam.

10/10 my friend.

Now I await the addition of British soldiers and Insurgency 3.0....

Also, I've been fiddling around with Insurgency in hammer, how come there are no official maps within the Croatian theatre seeing as there is plently of resources labelled as Croatia or Šibenik.

[Skjalg]

I think that setting is for 3.0 or smth

There is a completely done map but its collecting dust as it was decided to hold it back until we have matching player models.

To bad because Skybex put alot of work in it

Those props are on steam by accident and we are not removing them in case any custom map is using them.

Well that's a damn shame, I'd love to see a map in that theatre.

I did notice that many of the models were missing textures, some blend textures missing the second basetexture and what not. I also noticed the model of the shattered dome from Šibenik which was damaged in the Croation War of Indepence with the Serbs (I did my wikipedia research to discover just what a "sibenik" is), is that war/battle we are to expect from future releases?

Sorry for the off topicness...

In some strange, intangible way it reminds me of classic maps in DoD and Firearms, which is a very good thing.

Decent stuff, nice piece of work.
