This will be loaded onto our server by tomorrow night.

Discuss it here.

Played it on CP. It's very massive. It looks nice, though. I think maybe we could have benefitted from more teleporters, but generally the lack of hallways and wide open spaces makes for interesting firefights. Again, the main beef is the size - sometimes regrouping to attack, or even reaching the "frontline" is difficult. This map would benefit highly from dynamic spawns, or something to move up the attacking team.

EDIT: Apparently the mapmaker is aware of this, and believes his map works well in 32 player games. Anyway, another issue with the size is that even after capping the first point sometimes it's difficult to get set up to attack the second. You don't have places like the tunnels in Dustbowl Stage 2, which means the defending team can sometimes easily push the attacking team quite far back.

I like the look of it, nice scenery change from the typical superweapons hidden in the Midwest look. from what what i can tell the map looks like its got quite a bit of varying height fields which is very good. looks like an enjoyable map.

Yeah I got to play a round or two on it last night over on theville.org's server. It was fun - completely original and beautiful design. It was indeed a big map, and could have benefited from some additional signage (even if it costs the aesthetic design a bit).

I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays on our server.

Played it on our server tonight, I really enjoyed it. Seems like all classes can find ways to shine.

I also played, or attempted to play, this last night. The map lagged pretty bad for me..anyone else notice it? All the other maps run flawless except for this one..pretty strange.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I actually haven't played it) but it's a large map (judging from file size) like corporation which means lots of stuff to render? I know my framerates take a huge dive on corporation, so I'm expecting the same thing on this map...

Ya, it's the same style as dustbowl and corporation.
