The idea of welding the doors on this map is kind of ruined w the doors breaking after 1 wave. Is it possible to maybe add more doors or something so you can go more than one wave with welded doors? I don't know I guess this map does not really fit in with the way they want you to play the game now.

I noticed that too. I should be able to make the doors spawn again if they break after a wave ends like in KF1.

This just doesn't have the same feel as the first map. People are just farming zeds out in the open as they spawn. They need to be protected somehow. Spawn them closer, and hide them behind an invisable wall. People are standing in the doors just feeding off them.

Why not just make a blocking volume that blocks weapons either the entire way in or at least halfway to their spawn to give them a chance.

At first I had the spawns right next to the building but ran into a bad issue. The zeds would start to teleport back to the spawns with the new zed teleport mechanic. To counter that, I had to move the spawns far away enough to fix the teleportation issue.

What I can do is add more trees and hills so players won't be camping the doors. The trees will block bullets as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Play on a harder difficulty is my suggestion. On suicidal I have no issues with players killing zeds on the outside. Why? because we're all kitting them on the castle walls because there's too many.

Kiting does seem like a rather ways accomplishment on this map though.

You can also confuse scrakes using the stairs causing them to get stuck for a good amount of time.

Another idea for it would be to have heavy fog to make it like a snowstorm around the map, sortve like an eye of the storm type of thing but I feel like you were going for a crisper aesthetic.

Nice straight forward map.

A lot of the textures need to be properly aligned on adjacent surfaces.

The large rectangles you used to build the walls overlap in the corners which looks weird when the blood pools and its cut off by the end of the brush.

Thanks to all who played the map and left feedback.

Version 2 of this map is up. Link is in the original post.

hey did you add blocking volumes on the trees higher? people can shotgun jump on top of the blocking volume of the V1 trees and also on top of the edge of the walls so zeds cant touch them.

Thanks Sniper!

No I didn't fix that. Do you have screen shots?

I placed path nodes all along the wall so even when people are standing on the wall, they get swarmed and attacked.

Haven't heard of the tress though.

Updated original post with version 3.

This is definitely the best remake of Defence so far. No offense to the other authors, but this is the best one in my opinion. Keep it going!

Thanks MultiSlayer! It's one of my favorite maps so I have to do it justice.

I didn't realize how much I missed this map before I played it again, good solid fun and a faithful homage to the original.

As mentioned previously I really wish they'd add some way for the doors to respawn between waves.
