It's like a mixture of wah wah guitar with interesting lyrics... neat, but not really my style.

shameless plug for my own music

My G400's cord died after a year. Just got a G400s for free as a replacement (three year warranty) and it's badass so far. 3 year warranty... pretty cheap mouse, has 5 extra buttons, and it's ergonomic. What's not to love?

From playing this stuff for CEVO...

The 2nd forwards are on the wrong side of mid. Flipping them would be better.
The clip on the fence on the left is annoying.
2nd feels a bit open and weird.
It's a lot better than coldfront as far as gameplay but I still don't like it for 6's.

Edit: I should say that I do like this a hell of a lot better than warmfront and coldfront. I think it still needs more love, though.

Edit edit: Just had the match; I spawned on the wrong side twice. Across the spawn. Medic couldn't heal me. That ruined our game twice, because I'm the demo and I need a buff at the beginning. Not good at all.

We'll pug this at around 9 or 10 EST on Friday, lonely nerd holiday. Lol. Join my PUG group if you're interested!

Because I'm officially the king of back to back posting...

Here's a couple screens from B4. Not a whole lot changing play area/geometry wise, just adding more detaily stuff that 99% of the comp players have turned off anyways. Lol.

Anyhoo, screenies!

The only real physical area change, in Turbine:

3d skybox crap at last

Gone are the shitty white walls on mid...

Updated the front post, the raised mid is the one that I am proceeding with for B4. It played much much better in PUGs.

Rock on eXtine, I'll probably message you with some ideas/details in the near future. Side note, I feel the need to tell you that I was forced against my will to shave my excellent sideburns... They were not as glorious as yours, but they were getting closer. Oh vell.

Beta 4 is on the way, as soon as I can get hammer to stop shitting a chicken and actually compile the damn thing.

Also, who's dick do I have to suck to get some attention to this map?

Hey Phi- neat trick Benroads showed me for finding crap like this.

Turn on r_drawclipbrushes while your in TF2 and look for any bit of roof or whatnot that isn't covered. It's pretty darn handy.

Put Hyce's map in! cp_intermodel! It plays pretty good! Needs testing from people that aren't just my group of friends!

(Yes I'm a dickhead for plugging my own shit. Yes I'm going to continue. No one looks at the map discussion anyways...)

And I shed a single tear.

followed by many more

Oh well, I guess my map is still decently new... Go sunshine!

How about not warmfront, how about...

:)

Fair. I would definitely like to see more current community maps out there for next season. I know a lot of people are fans of cp_sunshine and I know everyone I've had play or look at intermodel think that it's pretty good. It's pretty hard to get freelance testing (I feel like an ass throwing the name out a billion times but it's for a reason darnit) and getting some official community support for community map makers would be fantastic. If that's not possible this season I completely understand, of course. Best of wishes to CEVO!

Intermodel was very well received at my last inhouse PUG. It's miles better than warmfront. Not completely detailed yet but it's still in beta. I'll love you (read: pay you maybe) forever :)
