WhitePowerJesusBloodhound -
I just wanted to let you know that Power Pugs will be playing this map on 'New Map Saturday's' this coming weekend 12/26/2015.
Hey WPJ,
thanks for the heads up.
I saw that you want to play koth_highpass_rc1a on the steam group.
That version is almost half a year old.
I'm currently working on a performance fix that will than be released via a TF2 Update.
But that will mostly likely happen after the weekend.
So I'll send you a version for saturday.
toothtrashsince it's a map guaranteed to stay official while still using competitive input
I'd say it's a little late for that wouldn't you?
It is.
I posted it here this year to achieve exactly that: feedback.
No input -> no output.
As far as I saw the map plays fine in publics.
They are is still the main audience. Especially now where it's ingame.
But if you guys have some input that works for pubs and comp, go ahead.
Also. Some of you may should change their mind and think exactly the other way around.
If you help the map making community you will get good maps into the game.
Then you don't have to wait and see what comes with the update and being surprised that it's not suitable for your needs. It's a lot (A LOT!) easier to make changes in alphas than in betas and RCs.
LainIt sucks that it takes the map to be in the game before anyone dares to try it.
Thanks for speaking that out loud, Lain.
Mappers need support before the maps are included. Not really after.
trashquick question, if bloodhound still reads this thread: fubar mentioned that he can make changes to vanguard, and it will be updated for TF2 (presumably, he didn't explicitly say that out loud it'd be weird for him to get officially in while he still wants to update it). is that similarly happening to this map?
Yes, he does. ;)
And yes. It was offered to me to ship updates to Highpass after the release.
However, this will of course not include mayor layout changes.
What did you thought of?
koth_highpass just recieved an update. ;)

Hello tf.tv community,
I want to introduce you into koth_highpass.
Highpass is a fast-paced King of the Hill map, which was originally created by Psy (the creator of plr_nightfall).
In January 2013 I took the map over and worked on it until May 2013, when I released B2.
In Summer 2015 I picked the map up again and polished it a little.
It should be also way more suitable for competitive gameplay.
Current Version: RC1a (13th July 2015)
