Really curious to play with it online. Only dislike so far? Generator placement. Okay, so I complained about the previous generator room as well. My problem wasn't that it was underground though. It was the size and layout of the underground area. If it had been just two entrances and a slightly smaller area underground, I would love it. As it is now... not so sure. Once again, I haven't played a match on it yet, but it doesn't seem to fit the map visually (seems like random barriers were just thrown up), and I feel like heavies will be able to totally get in their and spam the heck out of that area with mortars and such. Love the direction the map has taken overall though.

Re: Map feedback - Temple Ruins [CTF] The generator would be better placed on the roof, inside the little tunnel. Right now, it's indefensible. You guys don't want to put any more time into the map, but the vehicle pad should go where the gen is, and the gen should move to the roof. _________________ I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

Add some internal structure, move the gen somewhere defensible, and put the vehicle pad where the gen is--that would give the structure some cohesion, despite its size. We don't have any maps with interesting interior spaces; this could and should be the one to pull it off. I am disappointed the gen was moved from it's original chamber. That space represents a certain amount of work, and I hate to see it go to waste, because there wasn't anything really wrong with it. The sensor should not have been moved. Absolutely should not have been moved. Map's still too brown. Gives Blood Eagle an advantage. _________________ I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

But the spawn points and hills inserted around the base are GREAT. Also the red tinting and addition of more lava is excellent. Very happy with the temple ruins changes overall.

Now it's just another capper's paradise. Overall, the map really feels just hacked together and amateurish now.

Ah ha!

It WAS this map. They said they weren't going to put it into rotation because of that, so they already knew. Maybe they figure it will be a quick fix.

Today, I realized that inventory stations are even farther from the flag stand than before, and I'm not happy about that. Oh, and they are completely exposed--HATE IT.
