Hi all,

just looking for some feedback.

Designed for Fortress Forever CTF Leagueplay, currently in HL2DM status ofcourse.

I'm currently at 90% for brushfaces and vertices, and at 98% planes.

Some of the most over the top architecture I've yet seen from this mod, really inventive. I like the red section, but the blue lighting seems really grating and weak, I'd make it a bit more neutral and less contrasty

The only other weakness is that the texturing is a bit repetetive and there are some solid color sections that bring the areas down.

[Minos]

wow brushwork is really cool but texturing could be better here and there (last shot for example, I hate that flat concrete texture).

I reckon my favourite part is the outside. It reminds me of Quake 3 Threewave CTF bases, or Q3F. Looks great ;D.

[blackdahlia]

definatly reminds me of UT

man wasn't FF suppose to be put last year? Release the damn thing

[PhilipK]

looks sweet!

[JeanPaul]

Its too bad that cool geometry has zero effect on gameplay. :/

[Rick_D]

gonna convert any of that to models?

Yeah, and those textures have zero effect as well, just make everything solid shaded. :roll:

Why rip on him for doin something a little different as far as style goes? We can judge pretty much everything except performance and gameplay from a screenshot, so any map on here can be a fantastically fun map or a real dud, no matter if it looks like something warby makes( ) or something I make( )

[Rick_D]

he hasn't used a lightmap scale of 1, the map must be a dud <_

Hey, my name is logic, nice to meet you. :roll:

I was implying that he should incroporate it rather than having it be just useless geometry.

i think thats hilarious coming from the torus master

thx. i'll try a softer blue when others think so too.

could you specify which screenshot you are referring to about the solid color sections?

don't ask me, im not in the dev team

We can judge pretty much everything except performance and gameplay

performance is good. better than the standard HL2DM maps. lowest fps i get is around 50 on 1.8GHz + GF6800GT. If any of you has 10mins, you can always download and try it out for gameplay feel. hit the boost to get the FF gameplay speeds imo.

Maybe in another map once FF releases. It's hard enough to estimate gameplay based on the movies the devs decide to release. What i did was take a look at those videos, estimate the average gameplay speed and make a gameplay design. After that came the dressing up. Let's just see what this brings us ingame, one step at a time

To me that's a really impressive work
