I have been working on this off and on for some time, almost a year actually. It's pretty much done. This will be playtested shortly, likely at Sunlits if Rosie is up to it. I tried to make something a bit more war torn looking, I hope I achieved what I set out to do and you all enjoy this map. It's a basic 5 flag deal and features classic style gameplay. It's HDR ready and 32 player compatible. Here's a few screens:

Looks lovely, Propaganda.

I really like the athmosphere of the last picture - picturesque, I'd say.

Good stuff!

Goodluck dude, shots are looking very dark and gritty, its a great direction :)

Only suggestion is make the skybox darker to highlight the fire you've got, and then I would add more. Not sure how you'd feel about a semi-night map, it might not be popular with players :(

Good ideas FMP. I'm not so sure on a night map but making the skybox darker would be an idea. We ran it last night, there's a few issues with frame rates, but really it's not that complex, and I spent alot of time on hint brushes trying to optimize it. Overall avg 90 FPS on my system, but there's a couple of spots it hit's like 60 and when there's action around it goes even a bit lower. I know Dustin Diamond helped you with anemia, and he connected last night I was going to talk to him about it, but then he disconnected.

Andy is a good dude, haven't seen him around much lately but I think he might be willing to help optimize another high quality custom map, goodluck with everything.
