Author's Readme/Notes CP_ROSWELL (cp_roswell) Gametype: Control Points (gravelpit-style) Author: Mark "Shmitz" Major E-mail: shmitz@gmail.com Version: 1.0.0 Other credits: Buddikaman (Scott Petty), who did the majority of the work in creating the bus model. Notes: The elite Blue branch of the US military has been sent to "recover" an "experimental weather balloon" from a ranch in Roswell, New Mexico. Red "workers" must defend their territory long enough for reinforcements to arrive. ___________________________________ Revision History FinAL * Added a little bit more detail to the driveway. * Added a couple more signs by point C. * "Broke" the bannister in the house so it shouldn't block sentry fire as much. * Fixed the problem with the upstairs exit for red spawn sometimes showing the sky. * Red engineers can no longer build in the upstairs area of the barn. * Lowered the ground outside the main red spawn door so that it should be more friendly to teleporters. BETA 3 * Added sounds. * Added more detail to inside of house. * Added a couple more signs to direct players. * Added more ammo packs, both for engineers and to help counter the soldier/demo ammo nerf. BETA 2 * Fixed a bug that allowed blue players to enter red spawn. * Improved the point C crater, navigating out of it should be a lot easier now. * Added a couple of new textures to replace HL2 textures that were being used. * Added a small room to the second level of point B. * Added a little bit more health and ammo. BETA 1 * Initial public release. * Reduced cap time on point C, slightly increased cap times on points A and B. * Fixed place near point C where players could get stuck between the manor and the garage. ALPHA 1 * Limited release. Initial bug check, plus feedback for layout, navigation, and performance. Many details not included yet.

Pros: very well made and balanced map Cons: doesnt seem that popular with quite a few people though i dont know why, maybe ebcause it isnt linear and requires intelligent teamplay expecially to cap c which i think is a bit too hard, a half organised defence can easily defend it. i thinkt he fact its complex with a lot of routes and no obvious route or sniper position to take or sg placement area means a lot of players rejrect it as poorly made when they simply are too bad to appreciate it Improvements: make c easier to cap sp its easier to get into from the tunnel and there are more areas to fire stickies into it without being dead meat as soon as you step out from the rock Notes: great map

but it's not enough to look past the balance issues, those issues being very small but notable. I still have no idea what these balance issues are. Care to provide more detail?

Sorry about the confusion, I am not a normal player, tester, or fpsbanana user, I just say what I know, experience, and observe, I've been running fps servers since doom1. I like your map, the saucer is great, but it's not enough to look past the balance issues, those issues being very small but notable. There's a certain instinctiveness that is missing, it's more a show piece of art than an actual playground that happens to look good. What is great is that your very close to achieving it, just not yet in this state, which is great because you haven't wasted your time, your just not finished.

Posted by katous Pros: IT HAS A SAUCER!!!! WOOT! Cons: not balanced enough for real game play, gets boring quick Improvements: polish up reflections and lightmaps Notes: love the idea and concept, needs more real world play testing, i can't get anyone to play this map more than a few minutes because they get bored I'm not sure what you mean by balance. That was a factor I paid very close attention to, and every real world round I played on showed very little imbalance. If one team had a hard time taking a point, they were steamrolled the next round, indicating the teams were imbalanced, not the map. In fact I let the map sit in beta weeks after I normally would have trying to ferret out any hidden imbalances, and I saw none, and nobody on any of the servers it ran on suggested there were imbalances. I'm not normally this defensive about feedback such as this, particularly since you still gave the map a good rating, but I have to say that what you're suggesting is more or less the opposite of what I found from the extensive playtesting this map went through. I'm more than a little baffled.

Well, to be honest, i've never liked these "gravelpit" style maps, where's it's attack/defend, 3 points. However, i'm not going to let my personal opinion make anybody think that this map is not REALLY well done. It's much more fun than the other maps like this, even the VALVe map gravelpit. the design is very well done, there are plenty of routes to every point, and the visual style is TF2 without being too cookiecutter (as some people really dislike how people keep making maps that look like the VALVe maps). 10/10 from me.
