Okay, so I thought of an idea that may fix any problems people have with the bridge. I could extend the landing pad platform closer to the bridge, so that players holding a flag can jump down to that level and continue moving without an additional player. That ways they can still use the pathway without being forced to turn back or throw the flag forcing a suicide. AND then the return time still remains longer when running a flag solo. Thoughts?

Well I'm glad Team Slayer testing went well! That's a sigh of relief, lol.

What kinds of clips will we be needing? Should we have players test the map while using no mics? Use people who haven't played the map yet? Or just show scenarios with one person pulling the flag and throwing it to the other side of the bridge? Either way I'm glad you agree with me and thanks for backing me up. I appreciate it!

(1/2)Well I'll be getting rid of those anti spawn zones for sure. That's an easy fix.

How many people voiced their concerns over the bridge? Was it a handful, or a majority of the party?

I'm not too sure I agree with the concerns over the bridge though. If I connected the bridge, it would be an incredibly easy capture route. Players using the flag jump don't necessarily need communication. When the flag is thrown, the flag icon appears letting players know where the flag has dropped.

(2/2)
And players communicating also have an advantage when driving a warthog or mongoose during flag matches. The benefit of the bridge is that you don't need the second player to move the flag quickly (although you do need them to follow up). It's a dangerous route if used, but that's why it's there.

If it's an overall consensus that it needs to be connected, then I'll connect it. But I'd hate to see it go, as it was one of my favorite features of the map, and added a layer of strategy I haven't seen in a BTB map yet.

Here is the updated file. A list of changes I made:

1. Widened blue alley, can accommodate vehicles better now
2. Replaced CR's with Assault Rifles
3. Added addtional health packs to center of map
4. Fixed map barriers, added safe zone
5. Minor geometry changes

I think that sums everything up, let me know how play testing went last night!

so yea, can u ask them to play the newest version thats on my share, so then i know more specifically what to work on?

alright, its on there as "Warhorse II"

I don't think I'll be able to get online tonight, but I recommend Team Slayer and Multi Flag CTF. If you guys have any glaring issues or problems with the map, hit me up with some feedback before I give you the updated file!

To give you a heads up, some of the changes I will be making that I haven't done yet in case they are mentioned by the testers:

1. Widen Blue alley to give more driving space for the warthog to mimic red side more
2. Possibly remove the CRs to give the warthogs more potential
3. Small changes regarding LOS in the center of the map (nothing radically changing)

Let me know how it goes! And thanks!

oh dude, theres entirely updated version with massive fixes and updates

huge improvement in performance issues, weapon placement, etc

i'll have to finalize the file name on it and put it up on fileshare for ya.

how soon do you need me to do that

Sounds good! Keep me updated on any feedback you receive! I'll have an updated version coming your way wednesday with all the changes prepped and ready to go. Hopefully everyone enjoys it!

Gotcha, well I know they're planning on having another round of community BTB maps after the current one, and hopefully I can get it to you in time to make whatever deadline that may be. If it makes it past CC testing of course!

I wanted to change blue side to be a bit more open like red, however, if you need the map now, here's the current, object scaled back build. =)

It's now called Outline unless you can think of a better name for it! Abridged just seemed so fitting... now I don't quite know what to name it, lol

Are you coming back to Forgehub now that... things have changed?
