Description

The map's idea is, that the battle happens on top of rocky pillars, on top of water, which are connected to each other by logs. In the middle of the map, there is a control point, which, however, very rarely gets captured, due to the short rounds that are caused by the openness of the map.
If you fall to the water, you die. Simple as that.

There are also water level routes, which consist of small wooden "bridges". This is a good way to avoid sniper fire, which is a big threat in this map.

The bushes allow snipers to hide in them, and engineers build sentries in a safe location.

In case you push someone to the water after inflicting damage to the player, you will get a "Finished Off" point.


Notes:

  1. I couldn't get it to drain health slowly, as trigger_hurt doesn't give the finished off bonus, so I had to use a trigger_multiple that takes all the health away at once.

  2. I suggest server admins to disable the sniper class in this map, as good snipers will most likely dominate.

  3. The access to the water level routes is near the spawn, you'll see the "Exit" sign.

  4. There is spawn protection, so you can't just light people on fire with the flare gun before the round even starts.



ALSO! Every class can survive in the map! I've seen good spies getting backstabs and smart engineers having sentries in bushes, throwing people to water from the middle!
No class is useless, even if it seems like so!

Pros: a very original map that has a pretty good layout, textures look nice, brushwork is pretty good, skybox and the water go well, good lighting, plus fog
Cons: the rocky pillars are kind of square, and i've never seen a rocky pillar look square before, another con is that the ramps from the bottom to the top are "floating", any class works on this map,
Improvements: redo the pillars and make them cylinders then add displacements to them so they look more realistic, make the ramps from the bottom have support beams so they look better, limit the classes so that for ex a engineer and sniper aren't options to pick on this map because since it is an arena map that means it is pretty small and the snipers and engineers will just dominate in this one (there is a trigger with different outputs you can put so it limits the classes)
Notes: i like the idea and if the improvements are fulfilled this map will be a lot better than it was

Pros: Looks beautiful, is balanced and original. I appreciate the touches you've added to escape the usual Arena problems of sniping and useless Engis.
Cons: They say Arena clears pub servers and I can see this map being a good reason to. As nice as it is, it will frustrate the hell out of a lot of people, as half the classes have methods to knock you flying, way too far to ever land on something solid. As well, people are going to accidentally fall off a lot while fighting, as it's a common rule in most shooter games that if you run straight at an enemy you will die.
Improvements: Widen the paths. I understand the logs are uniform as part of the alpine map style, but maybe use player clips to make them larger than they look, so people have a little room to work at least.
Making each team have a slightly larger pillar in between spawn and the centre would make a lot of players less nervous as they have somewhere to fall back to.
Notes: A creative concept with a lot of potential... but in sudden death gameplay, more sudden deaths are not always appreciated.
