Devnotes

The map was inspired by the ut2k3 map ctf_geothermal, the base layout replicates that map however that map was ideally suited for 5v5 scenarios, the map size has been increased considerably as well as adding numerous rooms / gameplay elements that suit the tf2 playstyle, the final creation varys alot from the original but i hope the flow and gameplay is retained.

The only comment needed is that pyros florish with there air blast on the walk ways. Not killing just knocking people off so there team knows were there coming from.

Its suprising how deceiving having a large middle area is to players :D, the travel time on 2 fort (round trip) intel to intel takes me approx 1 min (scout), on geothermal 52 seconds. Straight from spawn would be very close too, quite a few people have commented on the size but before i even started the map i made it was going to be smaller than ctf_well - which i would agree is too large and similar to 2 fort but more expansive and less of a chokepoint in the midfield to actually promote players actually trying to capture th flag.

I do have 1 problem with this map. It is huge. So it does not work well with TF2.

Best map I have ever seen. I wish more servers ran it so I could get a good ping

Hehe, i've been trying to hop onto alot of servers running the map to get to see how different server set ups and players find the map, i've fixed most if not all of the behind the scenes errors - minor clipping /no draw issues, and i've done a little work spicing up the middle section.

I plan on adding 1 small change to layout for b2 - i'll be adding an exit from the upper spawns that drop you directly into the side tunnels, this will also allow soldiers / demomen to jump up through it if they are on offence, also it gives the flag carrier an alternate route to escape,

Im gonna start working on it fully again on monday, hopefully i will have played the map enough to have seen all i need to change by then :)

Anyway heres a little of preview of the middle section after i added a bit more brushwork :)

Played this map a couple days ago (you even joined and i called you a hacker lol)... it's absolutely beautiful... added to our rotation even. I think that you could add one more way to get to the enemy area from the middle area though... just a thought.

excellent work. can't wait to see more from you.

Pros: Really pretty map!
Cons: I can't see any. If you watch the youtube video, you'll see the map is not complicated at all.
Improvements: None that I can see. Good job!
