Map Description

What originally started as an attempt to make a better crossfire style map tunred into a VERY long prject. Finally I am done.
For those of you who don't know what crossfire was, it is like the map dm_runoff. The way you activate the "air strike" is you toss the "combine ball" (not the AR2 alt fire) into the stasis field.

That triggers everything. The ball will spawn about every 120 sec. You will have 100secs to get into the complex before the doors close. There are 4, so choose wisely.

The dowload link takes you to a cheap website that has the link to download the zip file (you have to rightclick the link)
BTW: castigate means "To inflict severe punishment on"

Update 1: Beta 2 is now ready, added lots of geometry, and a few new things. The DL link is working now.

Edit: Jan 1 2007 -- Happy New Year. Yeah its finished. If the DL link is broken, please tell me.

This is an excellent map, as I have run the original on my servers before. Very nice connectivity, weapon placement and gameplay for 6+. I have not tried this latest version yet, but the original did suffer from some poor framerates in the open area, especially with a full server.

The airstrike trigger is very creative! Very nice lighting and texturing also!

Nono!!!! I was away working on
"other
projects", and hadn't had time to check the boards (they've been quiet
for the past week or so). I apoligize. Ill take this info and update it
for another version. Thanks Orph.

Ohh and BTW, I will never bash/talk trash to anyone who gives a critique. If I do, please call me on it :smile:

7 hours and 7 minutes and I know Omega was here today. I reckon I crossed that line at last.

Sorry bud.

As usual, I concentrate on what I feel needs addressed. This by no means says the map only has stuff that needs altered. The map is, or could be considered fine "as is"

As usual, I will not take offense to ideas that are vetoed, I expect my ideas to not always be used. I do however expect gratitude for ideas, even if not used but thats all I expect.

I would have hoped to see someone else do a critique considering the time it takes for this old man to do them. Notice the times between these last two posts. I was busy the entire time doing this critique.

Anyway, good luck.

29 minutes and 30 seconds later...

I will look things over and get back when/if I can.

<span style="color: white;">I only played it for a couple minutes, but from what I've seen it looks pretty good, though it would be best to play it with others.
/me wonders about SP server

One major thing I noticed though: The alarms are TOO LOUD! And it takes forever for the airstrike to come.

Oh yeah, and you can get outside the level :razz: There's windows in one building that lead to the place behind the fences. And other areas with windows that act like concrete. And also, when some of the windows break the gibs fly really far, looking unrealistic.

I want to play against some people on it, it looks pretty sweet gameplay-wise.

Dude, if you read my critique, there was a link to the program in it.

Sadly, you need a pit or something similar because you need to upload it all like an HTML web page.

Works well though because it optimizes it to suit YOUR DESIRES.

PM me if you need any assistance as its a bit strange the first time you use it.
