The TF2 map Stag has been updated to Beta 4. Beta 4 changes the tunnel system greatly, and fixes many other bugs. The tunnels should be much less complex, so players should find their time spent there much more useful. The full list of changes can be found at http://vilepickle.com/map/readmes/README_cp_stag.txt

Thanks. This should be the last beta before Stag becomes final (probably not until next month).

I'll load this on the server as soon as I'm not drunk, i.e. tomorrow morning.

I assume it went well if nobody was leaving, hehe

yea it was good times man. Great map. It definately needs a somewhat full server but theres a little bit for everyone on it. Kudos.

Yeah it seemed pretty well liked the last couple times we've played it. I'm still learning the map myself, but I do definintely like the new tunnels. And I had fun last night trying to figure out sentry placement around the middle CP.

One concern I have is how close 1/2 and 4/5 CPs are. Maybe people will learn to start defending their fist CP when the second gets attacked, but it seems like its right around the corner from the 2nd CP.

It's a bitch coming out of spawn at the very bottom of the building, where you are totally vulnerable to everything, and trying to get up to a position where you can defend the CP.

Other than the sniper madness, I like this map. I think the strategies for attacking will evolve in some interesting ways.

Vilepickle

I was worried about their closeness too, but once people learn it, more often than not it's fairly easy to defend if the other team isn't too determined. That, along with the slightly longer cap time, makes the last one pretty solid.

Point 2/4 are fine since you can go out to the last CP and come up on equal or higher ground then them, but the last CP is hard since you can spawn camp the only door while capping the point.

There are actually 2 ways into the CP5 room as well. I need to find a more intuitive way for people to know this, I think...
