Implemented Another VSH map!

I would like to see my "new" vsh map in futher testing (the map has been run on only 1 other hale server but FoG hale server is pretty much the best in connection/stability vise for me and I have been playing here quite a long). I would like to see how ppl actually like it and maybe I get some new ideas how to make it even better playing.

In all seriousness, this should be fine, as we can then talk about what is good or bad about it and should get updates to fix this.
It would be a nice addition to the maps as we can get input on it so to speak.
+1 would want.

From speaking where I only see the screenshots;
I'd suggest removing the capture point, we do not like slackers

From what I have seen the map looks fairly ish small so maybe add some of these;
Maybe have a third out side small building with some ammo and health packs, some place for engineers to stay in that is not focusing on the main two buildings. - This would be that it may be a little more favorable to the original spawn to build, but a bit harder to get too due to it being outside in plain area. This would also give a chance to any would-be demoknights and such to stock up on health if hale is in the spawn buildings.

Maybe have a little hill instead of an enclosed building as mentioned above, or both, this would just give a bit more maneuverability to the classes that will fight outside, for examples spies using higher ground to backstack easier, or demos using it to help get heads and not be hit etc etc, rather than just flat world.

 

The test version for solo play comes with the .zip, so I recommend you to try out the map and see actually how large it is. Earlier version was simply too big according to some ppl so I have even downscaled it a little bit.

 

Ok, It probably was just the scale of the buildings to map size that made it look smallish,
Will download it and look later.

 

I'm not experienced with making commentary on maps, but with what Spartan said I think it should work out.
I got to agree, we need a bit more maps than the current rotation uses. It feels quite limited.
+1

 

Added the 4.0 version to the rotation.

 

Released version b5!! vsh_canyon_raid_b5 (Team Fortress 2 > Maps > Versus Saxton Hale) - GAMEBANANA
Please, read the changelog also

 

Issues with map, the hills around the outside are nice, but you then get the rim of the map which causes a lot of issues for hale when he tries to climb up to it and reach snipers, it takes him waaay too long to get up to a sniper on the outmost rim of the map and then chase him and then repeat for the next sniper, it'd be better if the rim was made to have clear ramps up to it and the rim itself made more flat, so hale does not have the issue with trying to super jump, hit a glitchy spot and slide without being able to get to the point he needs to be at.

Do not get me wrong, it is a nice feature, it just needs to be made easier to climb as it takes too long in its current state.

Also, you cannot currently flare gun jump (maybe rocket jump) off of the hills and sides of maps.

 

Hello Spartan, as you might have missed, the canyon is now more flat and way much smaller than it was in b4 (current one in the rotation). Also hale can climb up the canyon via ladder that is actually the only route up there so it's very easy to spot snipers at the begining of a round. The highest ground in b5 is 1/2 height of the highest one in b4. I have played the map (b4) once and people told me the outskirts were too high so for now I think that b5 is going to right direction.

 

Oh ok, I must have missed the update post. @Downie update it pliz.

 

Updated.

 

Version b6 released! Read the changelog also. B5 needs to be updated into b6 ASAP

 

Time to move to other projects. Vsh_canyon_raid_final is out! vsh_canyon_raid_final (Team Fortress 2 > Maps > Versus Saxton Hale) - GAMEBANANA
