Planning Ultiduo map

Map Discussion
JaguarFiend1) Minor gripe: A little bit more ammo on the map could be ok. I'm not positive about that though since we didn't get to playtest it too much.
2) Major complaint: The reason we couldn't playtest it very much was that the spawn times are atrociously high. Maybe there's a good reason for this that you can explain to us? The average spawn wave was something like 15 seconds if not more and it seemed almost impossible to catch the same wave as your partner. It's already a big map which means it often takes time to traverse that distance to get where you want to go. If you add an 18 second spawn on top of that... ??. Ultiduo maps have spawns that are a few seconds long usually to keep the pressure and action up. It almost seems like the map timer is 6 minutes instead of 5 to compensate for all the needless down time.
It's funny how little we actually got to play over the round that we did and so we kinda abandoned it with a bad taste in our mouths. I think these spawn timers need a good reduction and then I'd love to play more on this. At least aesthetically the map is certainly unique and good looking. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on the spawn times. I came across that as well. Maybe like 6 seconds? or less? I wanted a slightly larger map to force more rocket jumping and air shots.

DamnEasy*Add a resuply in spawn
*Remove stairs
*Make it so you can jump up to the point from here as a medic
*Remove some hiding spots
*Make it so the walls/floor doesnt fuck up splash (i saw under point there were some props where you can splash (atleast i think i didnt try it on a person).
also server doesnt work atm
*What do you mean by removing stairs? they are all bullet blocked so they are basically ramps. Unless you just mean for the fact they should be gone.
*I could try that, letting medics get up there. but sorta seems a little pointless.
*yeah gonna clip off some areas
*As in eat rockets? I can clean that up if thats what you mean.

ILLEGALELEPHANTGUNRemoved some of the high ground and moved ammo packs.
love it already. very pleasing to the eye, great theme! only thing i might remove is the wooden crates on the high ground, or maybe offset them so they arent directly blocking for the attacker who has elevation. the high ground should already be enough of an advantage, i feel like having a crate to shield you up there is a bit extra. definitely does need a prop up there though. im sure you can think of something better than i :P good work! and thank you for dedicating your time to mapmaking/ultiduo.[/quote]
Thanks! and no worries ;) Yeh, I have some ideas for that platform.
TsarbucksAny idea when it would be ready for play testing?
I had a quick test an hour ago, gonna make some changes and send a link over here for you guys!
DamnEasyThis actually looks really nice, the trees are really good for trying to get a force, you can hold on more then 1 position, you cant sit on the healthpack. Really nice.
Only thing is that it looks like medics are kinda fucked in regards of where they can stand, surfing should be pretty good on this map too
Thanks! The trees are quite fun for rj. Yes and no to that about medics being fucked. Surfing is a bit buggy but can work!

ILLEGALELEPHANTGUNi think if you somehow inverted the spire idea, itd be very challenging. maybe like two or three smaller spires offset to the control point, with the cp being a bit lower ground. play with the terrain more, i feel like most ultiduo maps are very basic and boring to look at. id like to see something like a real map for ultiduo, not just flat gray surfaces. make a nice skybox :)
Yeh I was thinking about that idea! Ill give it a try!
And yes that is one of my main goals, to give you Ultiduo guys a good looking map too!

Enterimoh I love koth_forge! good luck
to clarify DamnEasy's point, the biggest complaint with ultiduo_baloo is that map structure just makes it "mge spire with heals". A different type of geometry for the point and more height variation (like the original ultiduo map) I think would be pluses.
Alright! thanks for the heads up!

Wow this map is so close to process in so many ways,
The final has almost the same door placement as process.
2nd point area has almost the same idea as process
and the map just seems to be a rotated mid.
I'm not saying this is bad, but wow its so similar.

Koth_Arctic/Warmtic (Updating)
in
Map Discussion
Hey,
So I have had the honor of being able to update/ fix/ change Koth_Arctic/Warmtic for competitive play.
If there are anything you remember from when Arctic/Warmtic was last active let me know, any issues let me know. I am to try and improve the map as much as possible.
I have a new version of the map from when Hanz was working on the map, I want to get some thoughts on it so I can work through the changes needed.
(Things to ignore about this version are optimization and clipping)

- Major - Stairs onto point closer to spawn.
- Minor - Addition clipping on buildings
- Minor - Moved prop to make easier for scout jumps
- Minor - Increased height on all doors
