Looks great, orange map beater for sure! :D

If anybody wants to join us, this map will be starting at approx 5:30 pm UK time.

@ 195.20.109.87:27015

High spec equipment and connectivity, with fast downloads/unlimited bandwidth.

Oh, friendly fire is on btw ;)

way better than the s2 version but still a few bugs:

1) When spawning in the middle (after flag capture), there doesn't seem to be enough spawn points and 2 players will very often spawn in each other.
2) the huge ladder getting from the german upper floor to lower floor is kinda buggy. If a player (could be same team or not) goes up on the ladder while someone goes down and they meet, the guy going down will basically disengage from the ladder and fall down (usually dying)...it's kinda :tnp::tnp::tnp::tnp:ty when people run away from nades and people try to get down to the bridge...
3) see screenshot - snipers can get behind the pipe on the US upper floor and freely shot at people but cannot be shot at (even from close range with SMG) - that's the perfect sniper spot :(

not sure why but this map seems more laggy than previous version (need to be confirmed)

thanks for the update, testing at ViE!

Now in the mapcycle at 213.133.101.153:27022

I think this is your best map to date. :)
Suggestion: that the forward spawn point not be right at the
middle flags.

I agree with rosie.....this map is uber fun. really nice work...we have been playing it all weekend, its become very popular on our rotation...=).

Also, if it is possible, to move the forward spawn site so it is not right on top of the 3rd flag. It makes those battles a little too one sided..and invites spawn killing.

A good point indeed, forgot to mention this item. ;)

Hey Albatros - I know you're busy with other maps but are you planning on releasing an updated version of this map soon (or at all) ?
