Thanks to everyone who gave feedback. I managed to fix all but the door respawn suggestion. The settings for door respawn aren't available for KF2 door actors. Hopefully, there is a fix for the next release.

Please test the new version and let me know if you find any bugs.

Original Post:

KF just isn't the same to me without this map. I probably played this just as much as west london.

I remade this map and called it "Defend thy self". I thought the description of the original Defense map was hilarious so here's my take on it. I've added my own flavor to it.

The map has 30 player starts so the 30 player servers won't have to add any more.

Can't wait to play this with everyone!

I need permission to download it Can you make the link public?

Edit: Fixed now. Thanks

 

[Mean_Machin3]

Oh my bad. Made it public now.

That name is a bit silly. I think Defense would have done just fine. If you're going to insist on that name, it's Thyself. There's no space.

 

[Shining Wolf]

Isn't this cf-defense?

 

[Mean_Machin3]

Ah you're right. I'll correct the name in the next release.

 

[Mean_Machin3]

Isn't this cf-defense?

Yeah, remake.

 

[Shining Wolf]

Yeah, remake.

You'll get more downloads just calling it cf-defense remake or something. It's a popular map.

Edit: Scratch that. I didn't realize it wasn't really a remake since I've played it now.

 

[Mean_Machin3]

Damn, can't edit the title. I'll call the final map Defense if there are no bugs. Thanks for that.

Did you test the map yet?

I didn't realize it was out. If I see a server I'll go for it.

my server loved this map

 

[killmeebaby]

Really nice recreate of a classic map. Only issue i found was the trees (the ones in the center atleast) have huge hitboxes and makes players miss often.

Nice work on the map man, the extra ammo really helped on the Hans fight. Defended Myself

 

[Seb@s]

yeah this one was a fun map of the KF era.

 

[Sinz]

Blood is glitched on the left it work properly while on the right its clearly way too large splash

Also the dynamic shadows is very low quality could use a fix.

I can make it so there is no bullet collision with the trees in the next release. Thanks for letting me know.

I'll also be making a separate player spawn location.

Haha nice work mate. I played the map on a 30 player server. the blood and blood trails all over the map were glorious. Try it with more players when you get a chance.

Pretty cool map i managed to solo boss (on suicidal) when 3 other guys died after like 30 secs (or faster) lol.
Tons of running in circles (like 20+) but i did it. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=436112632

Even if i like your remake i still prefer newer versions of defence or just new map based on same idea.

I saw a group of players sitting at the top of one of the stairs and I realized that there were no zeds hopping over the walls or coming from the little house. I think I left at that point cause it was just a zed funnel and it got pretty boring. Map really needs to figure out how to up the intensity.

Very fun map. Everyone on my server enjoys playing on this map. Great work. Can't wait to see the polished map.

Agree with you. When I played this map in KF1, it was a shooting range in Normal and Hard mode, but in Suicidal and Hell on Earth, everyone gets their just desserts. Eventually people will be forced to get into the building and hold from there or try to survive on the wall.

I didn't want to put any spawns in the building itself since the premise of the map is to defend. Trying to stay true to the original map as much as I could.

I loved playing it on the huge 30 player+ servers and I think that's where this map is a lot of fun. Try it on a harder difficulty on the larger servers if you get a chance.

Thanks, mate. What would you like to see more polished?
