The art team made the grate visual to allow for more light in there.

I can add things (like walls in the Katabatic base), but I cannot move, delete, edit, or generally change things in a map I don't own. _________________ MagiCandyBar wrote: Soon.™ blackchimes wrote: WORST MAP EVER, TOO SMALL/TOO BIG, THE HILLS ARE NOT HIGH ENOUGH/THE HILLS ARE TOO HIGH, THE FLAG IS TOO EXPOSED/IS NOT EXPOSED ENOUGH, SNIPEFEST, TOO MUCH GREEN/ BLOOM.

Well that much was obvious I thought you were implying that the assets were locked, my bad. As I said, this suggestion is carried over from the Raindance CTF thread. I feel that the change would improve gameplay for both game modes. _________________ (AHK) T:A Physics Profiler

At the start of a CaH round I always spawn next to or inside 1 or more enemies. It normally means the game starts off pretty chaotically.

What!? Your art department isn't following orders from design?
