Finally done with it, and if I said I wasn't a nervous wreck right now I'd be lying :) Something about the prospect of overlooking that one little detail or mistake and not being to fix it is frightening. But anyhow, I think I got 'em!

32 player compatible, HDR compliant.

Improved Optimization
Finer detail and prop work
Minor terrain sculpting, reduced sightlines, easier player movement up hills
Refined soundscapes and some custom ambient clips
Added 3rd legitimate Allied spawn exit
Added more protection for Axis spawns
Spawn points on both teams about 20 steps 'closer to the action'
Fixed Allies not recieving points for holding Axis second objective
Reduced filesize and collision load about 30%
New overview


here she is: (12.25 mb .rar) (includes exploit fix as of 9/2/06)

mirrors appreciated!


EDIT: It's come to my attention that there is an exploit 'somewhere' in the map that allows players to leave the playable area and raise hell. It's not well-known, so I thought I'd nip it in the bud with this 2 kb fix:

This zip accompanies the existing .bsp (see above), which remains unchanged. Thanks a ton to wickit for guiding me through the process!

Thanks for the comments and the mirrors, guys, it's appreciated. :)

I just got back from New Hampshire today and had my first chance to play it live on a server ... INX over in the UK with about 32 guys on. FPS wasn't ideal with all those players, but it was certainly better than rc1 version with a full player load. Mat_antialias 0 seemed to smooth framerate out a lot on my middle-end system at 1248x1024.

Being so damn open, she was a real beast to optimize :p, and having tried it now with 32 guys on I'm pleased that it's playable. I did find one seam though between displacements! That made me chuckle, not much can be done about that now.

See you on the battlefields !

edit: @ DR -- ok to include!
