    If Anthology manages to get removed from the rotation, a replacement is only logical.
    As many of you know, there aren't a lot of Jailbreak maps out there.
    And chances are you don't know this one.

    ba_jail_wip_a6v2 is, as you might guess, work in progress.
    However, the map is extremely detailed, has a lot of rebelling options and working games.
    Next to one game (Bomberman) and some pathways being blocked, the map is closed to being finished.
    I will provide a screenshot gallery at the end of this thread so you guys can see for yourself.

    The map itself is enormous and has some really fine details.
    It has four watchtowers that guard over the cell area.
    A giant gate which you can open, to explore the outskirts of the town.
    Two trains driving around the map and a functioning car to sit in.
    A crapload of games, all with extreme detail to them.
    Some of them include; sweeper, deathrun, surf, arena, knifepit, soccer, dodgeball, fallgame, nine square and many more.
    Multiple places to get ammo from, like a phonebox, a cottage and multiple hidden airvents.
    The borders of the map are outlined with grey lines.

    I suggest implementing this map, because it is very up to date in comparison to Anthology.
    Not only that, it has actual working games that are fun and new.
    If you want to check this map out yourself, I suggest exploring it yourself.

    While I was in-game myself, the textures didn't bother me at all.
    I strongly advice playing this map for yourself.

    The map being so large can cause problems for wardens because i have a tendency of excaping then hiding and picking off guards 1 by 1, and the map sounds like a perfect place for a red with a sniper rifle, the textures on this server seem worse than the last, But! aslong as anthology isnt removed because i think it is better than this map i would love to see this map being added into the rotation (+1)

    I think this could be a good addition to the map rotation.

    +1!

    Update:
    After playing around on the map some more I noticed something.
    The map randomly switches airvents that lead to armory.
    Sometimes it's next to the door, sometimes underground, etc.

    Hey everyone, coming back to this thread after sometime.

    In the meantime, I've been very busy with this map.
    I've contacted the creator myself and we've had some talks about it.
    In the meantime, this map has already reached the stage of V4.
    Many bugfixes and tweaks have been made for this map since the last time.

    The biggest complaint I received were the dev textures.
    I don't see how this takes anything away from the overall experience?
    The map is enormous and adds new games never seen before in Jailbreak.

    Starfish: why do you still have the dev textures in by the way?
    Starfish: not to be rude
    |LZ| Yoshey: its not rude, and i kinda wannted the theme to be dev textures. kinda lazy to find fitting textures xD


    So there you have it, I still want this map a lot.
    And I hope you guys do too.

    I think concrete textures would work well.

    So I'm the only one thinking the dev textures look cool this way and shouldn't be changed.
    Okay.

    I suggest you remove your nostalgia goggles.
    This one plays better than the old maps.

    It might as well get added, you seem very enthusiastic about this. Probably other people will like to play this map too. We will only know if we try ^~^
