Thanks. One of the things I find so interesting about this map is that the interior and exterior portions of the map offer such different gameplay. The exterior is relatively flat and linear, while the interior has numerous elevations and movement options. It makes for an interesting contrast.
I've already made a few changes. Mostly aesthetic changes, but I've also moved the OS from bottom green to the area in front of the rocks on the 3rd pic. Made some other minor weapons adjustments that probably won't even be noticeable.
I haven't gotten around to it yet, but I'm going to try out something The Fated Fire suggested, which is a path from the bases around the back side of gold (top edge of the overview pic). It would add some safer spawns, and possibly make CTF a more viable gametype. If I can't find a good way to implement it, or if it just doesn't work, then the map will stay basically as it is.
Do you have any suggestions Power weapons/Powerups?

Thanks for the compliment. Is your GT the same as your username?
Hope the wife and little one are doing well.

 

Slayer gameplay on the current version:



I'm still working on a test version with an additional route, and plan to work on refining spawns some more before a final release.

 

I have a new version of the map almost ready for testing. There's an entirely new route that goes around the back side of gold, connecting to both of the bases, and to bottom gold. The Sniper will be repositioned a little bit, pushed out into the new route. Your suggestion to change to an explosive weapon is definitely good, Noooooch. With the change, though, I'll do so more testing before I go that route.



Also, I'm not entirely sure which version of the map you played. The most recently released version has the OS moved from bottom green to the rock area in gold. Moving it that little bit seemed to make it much less likely that players used the lift after grabbing it.

Moved to this area:

 

You've suggested this about 15 times Schnitzel, but the H2A version is different enough in both scaling and design that it doesn't really work (yes, I've tried it). I understand the benefit of implementing cover that player can jump on, the negatives of using rocks outweigh the positives with the current version. You're free to prove me wrong, but here's what I've found...

The rock on the right was there to protect spawning players from opponents pushing in from green. This isn't necessary in the H2A version because with the way the bases are designed players can already spawn safely in the back of the base. If I added a rock in the same area in the H2A version it would be an obstacle to a spawning player more than it would be an advantage.

The rock by the window is also intended to give cover against opponents pushing from green. Due to the significant reduction of the maps size in H2A, the window naturally juts out into that hallway, creating a similar effect. If I were to add a rock in that area, it would almost completely block off the ramp up to top green.

You can see what I'm talking about either right at the beginning of this video, or at about the 1:35 mark.

 

Well...I imagine I'm a bit like you in that I'm not really interested in remaking a previous design exactly how it was made previously. If I'm going to remake a map, I'm going to try to improve on the previous design. Sometimes it pans out; sometimes it doesn't.

The original H2A version (made by Xandrith) was a little smaller than the H4 version, and playtesters complained that it was too big (I thought you were one of them, but perhaps I'm mistaken about that). That's why my version is scaled how it is.

If Mr. Xandrith cares to reforge it with the original scaling, I'll certainly support it (assuming it plays well). In fact, he already has a version of it in his fileshare that's slightly larger than my version. Everyone should check it out (and hassle him about the missing rocks ).
