Just from the screenshot it looks a bit boring for me. Add a bit detail to make it mor interresting

All in all it looks nice. gj

After playing this I think more detail will slow the gameplay down. On the ground that is.

●Adjusted walls to allow more speed gain and improve the overall flow
●Advanced landscaping
●Lit the bunker and added an extra room to line mid high
●Added mid-caves, to give some extra cover in mid
●Adjusted the ambient to ensure that the shadows are not too dark

Cool! I'll take a look at it when I have the time.

Yeah I like the map itself, but when I played it it seemed a lot more dark then your screenshots (and my settings have increased brightness).

Yeah, my screenshots make things look lighter for some reason

For me it looks more like a good alpha. The main structure is done, but >95% of the map has the same texture (gras or rock). It's very hard to navigate with at the moment.

Also I'm not a big fan of fog and these overlapping terrain brushes. Creating terrain with the clipping planes looks a lot more clean.

As matze already said, there're almost no details, less team indicators (only a few coloured barrels), some edges (screenshots, I hope you can find the places ingame, bcause everything looks same), etc.

All these things give me the feeling that it's still an alpha map. But hey, it's a good start so far, though

Online @ [OTB] Beta!

IMO this is your best map so far. For the most part, it seems like it would play smoothly and it would host many exciting, close games.

My only complaints, just by playing around on it for a few minutes, are as follows:

Sshot 1: It is annoyingly hard to traverse this little cave, especially the barrel. I would make the cave a bit wider.

Sshot 2: This crate through the rock looks awkward. Maybe you can make it fully in view but keep gameplay as it is.

Sshot 3: I like the overall design of this map, however it can become too narrow at some points, such as this one, and might cause bottlenecks.

@T3RR0R15T

Thanks so much for finding these:D
These will be fixed in b4!

@BASEBALLDUDE
Thanks for your feedback, I have made the crouch-to-get out of cave, easier to get out of, but the barrel will stay there. The cave is more for hiding and variation, it doesn't really add to gameplay, it's just a little detail.

I have re-positioned that crate, I agree, it looked ugly! xD

The paths were widened much more in b3 compared to b2 (if you compare them both), the only narrow parts are narrow because you have two ways to go. E.g Right - you can take the route up to high (making the main 'bottleneck' not a bottleneck at all. The left side you can either take the mid cave tunnel, hop over to the left side, speed across to high, or take to mid low. So I don't think it's that narrow at all, especially when playing b3 in matches, you notice that it's a pretty decent width
