Giant motherships have been appearing all over the world, and with our precious hats in danger it's up to tf industries to construct jump-pad lasers in order to destroy them!

However, they accidentally hired both Red and Blu teams to construct them, and neither are letting the other taking the fame as saviour of the hats.

I think jump pads won't be accepted in competitive TF2 gameplay.

Mostly because push triggers in source don't work in the same was as push triggers in idtech. Mainly ones in source are really inconsistent and generally buggy. Compare if you were to drop onto one of these jump pads versus one in Quake 3/Quake Live.

As far as general feedback goes, I am not a fan of map level teleports and yours seem to be a bit buggy, at least the little thing you have to identify the thing as a teleport does not stay in place.

Having brushes instead of overlays for healthpack/ammo identification is kinda silly imo, these things can easily mess up splash and movement if someone is unfortunate enough to try and jump next to it.

These should be bulletblocked/playerclipped and maybe think about making them a bit more even or just a ramp for simplicities sake.

Clip these edges off

If you insist on using jump pads maybe look over a few quake maps and see how they're generally set up. Normally with a bit of cover since taking one puts you in a somewhat shitty situation. Seems like the way you've laid them out right now could be fairly easy to abuse given what classes and weapons exist in this game.

So, I feel like posting the last thing I will in this thread since the map is done.
This was made for the Merc's v.s aliens contest over at tf2maps.net and i'm very proud of it.
