Still thinking about it. I want to see how my new changes play out first.

I think the better spawn will make it play much better
will make them respect b rush. As it was they could cover A, then if Ts didnt show rotate and still mow them down before they made it to b

1. added that pillar in the new B tunnel I mentioned
2. fixed skybox above overpass
3. raised player clip in B
4. removed grating in back hall B
5. fixed the boxes and wall in the new overpass
6. extended the new tunnel to start in the underpass
7. moved the majority of T spawn up top and some by the van.
8. fixed many texture/alignment issues

I know I forgot some things. Post here if you remember any.
New file soon.

Fixed the box that you get stuck under/can see up into in B tunnels?

Yep, I had to redesign that section (placement of boxes/cover) slightly because that spot was pointless since I lengthened the tunnel.

I don't think its ready yet. I know it would get more people on the map, but I don't want there to be imbalances that leave a sour taste in people's minds, and then have them never vote for it again.

Ok, fixed some more stuff and added some other things, including a box for boosting into back halls B.

Now that the new tunnel to B is longer, I need some ideas for how to arrange cover down there.

After you left I ran through your map a few times, and it looks good.

You got an overlapping texture on the floor at overpass(T side)
At the new B tuns entrance you may wanna fix the boxes(the top box is standing on the other one weird)
As far as cover goes, what you have looks fine for now. I was thinking maybe adding some more pillars like at the end. or some arches similar to the way Contra does in A tuns.
At the old B tuns entrance(on the inside) I was able to jump onto the box alone and crawl through the hole. As if a magical gust of air lifted me up on it. Not sure how I pulled it off given that the box is taller than my jump height.
Should put some rubble or something in front of those same boxes on the outside so they don't look like they're floating.

That's all I got off the top of my head, but as you know i'm tired. I'll be on late afternoon tomo.

Yeah, that is the place that I tried to get that cinderblock to turn into a static prop so it would look like the corner of the box was resting on it. But it still wants to be a physics object.

Which side was this from? On the inside you can jump onto the edge of the first headshotbox, but on the outside it should be impossible to jump up on. But I did purposefully make it so that someone could fall into it from up top.

I was doing it from the inside going from ground to box.
