The evolution continues. This is really a quick upgrade from beta 2 but the map now contains flags instead of objectives, and the yanks are back instead of brits. Minor architectural changes allowed for 2 way travel down the back alleys (used to a very boring route with no fire fights). Also, the axis spawn has been opened up more to and both teams get to the middle at the same time like in beta 1.
Fictional Story:
December 1944, a small town in Belgium. Axis forces have counter attacked to take control of a vital crossroad in the Belgium
town of Haytereicht. During the night, german forces attacked at an outpost in town. The morning after, a vital battle took place to take the town, a fundamental turning point in the war, as the future of the world hinged on the outcome of the bloody battle.

Good job on the redux.
I don't like to pick nits, but you missed a texture on the back of the door leading from the allies spawn are to their 2 man cap flag.
I noticed it when I came back in the bottom door and was heading toward allied spawn.
Other than that great job. This looks like some more fun on my clans custom map night. They all enjoyed adrenalin b4 so now it should be very interesting with the flag caps.

thanks for the comments.

not quite. its actually an illusion due to the awkward space and lighting effects...turn your flashlight on, or fire a gun at it, and you'll notice the door texture is there.
Im already working on beta 4, which will continue the flag gameplay, but swap a few areas around to make it more head on and equal. Probably change a lot of the textures around too.

hehe. its always gotta be the yanky way...people spell words differently in other places of the world too.
we spell mum, not mom. colour, not color. and adrenaline is spelt adrenalin in australia and england. yes england, where the language english comes from. U americans speak english?
Okay, sorry. bit rude. actually, in australia, ive seen both adrenalin and adrenaline used in various thrill seaking magazines that i purchased as research for my dod map. So its both. I chose adrenalin and dropped the 'e' early on in the process because:
a) adrenalin reads more like the pronunciation, while adrenaline reads like it rhymes with whine.
b) adrenalin is shorter, and looks cooler.
c) percentage wise, there were more adrenalin's than adrenaline's in the various magazines.

Actually English derives it's roots from German. It is considered a Germanic derivative in linguistics.
But you UKers can pronounce and spell the words any way you want to. And us Americans will keeping thinking your daft and that the gene pool over there has shrunk too small. :D
Go on the roundabout and get to the nearest pub.
Cheers mate!

It's like a lot of elements.
Lithium, berylium, helium, calcium etc. A lot of them end in ium. As does aluminium, except in the U.S.

That really annoys me how the US says Aluminium.
I tell my A-Level chemistry that and we have a debate against the US for hours.
