This is our biggest map as far as we mapmake. It's our first attemp to multitexture as well. Playing on it was fun ^^

Could be more shaded but 4/5. Good Job!

[~Niko~]

Illumination effects and looking is pretty, but I don't understand why the top is blue...
This map should shouldn't have top that blocks LAW shots and so.

[Se!kA]

Wow, pretty cool. But i dont know why you put there these blue areas at border.

[Blacksheepboy]

I like this design. I've often thought of a sort of castle setting...but this excedes my old design.

In the center tower, there ought to be spiral steps leading up to the top so that players can snipe from there. It would be an importand strategic point in gameplay and whoever held that might gain a small advantage, as long as that team had a good sniper.  I might playtest this some, so that I may understand the gameplay yet a little more.

Gameplay:
+Smooth
+No spray places
+Pretty unique
+Size
+Bugless
-"Only bullets collide" polys are bad for gameplay

Look:
+Nice multitexturing
+Overally good looking
-Too much transparency, a lot of places where u can walk but it seems you can't
-3D effects on towers, towers should be 2D
-Flags seems a bit too colorful to background

With small changes, I think betatesters should consider this for default.

[Cookiegangsta]

Ummmmmmm wow lol amazing. XD

[El_Spec]

Layout, shading, color choices, and polygon work is great.  This looks like a fun map to play.  I'll have to try it out sometime.  The only thing that concerns me is that due to the layout and flatness, it'll be Spas-12 and M79 friendly.  I can see a lot of rushing involved.  Otherwise, this is really good.

I am changing the map. It will be towers2 when it's ready.
Here what I have 'til now:


(this is just a base, will be LOTS of changes, note that we opted for cleaner towers, when we finish the underground we will put the map to down again, maybe on mapping ideas)

[Se!kA]

wow! Now looks a little more playable. But i dont like those straight moments at lower way. A bit... sprayable?

[Suowarrior]

Emm I can't say I like the bottom route idea. It may make map too big vertically and also spray could be on issue but I guess u can manage with that. If you want to have bottom route, I think it should be nearer the "ground" (middle) way, because now it's very like equinox bottom way, separated from rest of map, this also helps you with the entrance between base and bottom way. Now the attack in bottom way is easily defended: Throw nades into hole and cheer (like equinox). The entrance also should be broader.

+only bullets colide removed
+unnecessary transparent polys removed, other transparency enlarged (less opacity)
+2D effect towers now
-the flags are too complex, maybe I'll fix them latter...

hummm... I can't imagine sewers that aren't like a line (this is about the broader entrances). The spray problems would be solved like in equinox: coliders. I will approach the underway to middle's way.

tu suowarrior, for you worryness =D

I thought doing that when I was making the map, but... it seems to be too much distraction, that would help those that are running from being killed, not to score (ok ok... that's important too). The thing is that we are short of scenerys  . We will study that carefully in the future (when sewers are done).
