The map is based on meet the sniper video, it doesnt mean that its sniper friendly because its not. My main focus with outback is to make everything from the 'Meet the sniper video" in my map and balance both teams.

Looks really good.

you've really caught the TF2 atmosphere. looks like a standard map.

Man, yea this map looks pretty impressive. I wish you had uploaded it as a map profile though

Haven't played through it yet, but I think I might be able to find it on a server.

If it's based on the "meet the sniper" vid, I'll be looking for that area where the demoman get's shot at and falls over. -Unless that area is part of an already released map I wasn't aware of, or didn't have the prowess to realize.

The area where the demoman's gets shot at the and falls over is in the map, its at the last part of the map. I can't edit my first post for some reason.

Nice!

-Yea, editing posts (any posts) after 30 minutes of submitting it is prohibited.

Nice, does indeed look like the location from the Sniper Video. Unfortunately I'm not terribly big on TF2 so that's all I can say really.

Yeah I think that's a good idea. There are many legit reasons why somebody might edit their original post.
