Beta Map KF-HostileGrounds

[Swift-Brutal-Death]

Final1-3

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gmuzuhnhlmjebqq/KF-HostileGroundsFinal1-3.zip?dl=0

Map contains 3 distinct environments. City, subway, sewer.

It's comparable size-wise to Burning Paris in terms of playable space.

Found someone's quick runthrough of the map on youtube. He checks out a lot of custom KF2 maps and posts vids. Great to use for promoting your projects if you don't want to deal with recording footage and uploading it. Give him some love!

This map is amazing. I had no fps drops which is insane for how big the map is and all the stuff in it. VERY well designed and well put together. Pretty much a Tripwire quality map that everyone should put on their server.

Great work

Explanation of issue:

Spoiler!

It was a very strange issue. I went back to my dropbox account and found the correct link, copy and pasted it, and it was exactly the same one I had posted here. I even copy pasted this one and the dropbox into wordpad to check. Apparently when I originally pasted over the old link, the webpage here somehow didn't update and retained old information? I deleted the link on here, saved, and pasted again and it works now.

First of all I love your work S-B-D in KF2 and in KF1
The only thing in my opinion that doesn't look that good is the pavement-road blend and particularly the corners, it looks not natural but rather fake like the whole thing is set-up in a film studio. Sewers is exceptional work, well done, though a bit simple (linear) at the platform.

Overall I'd say sewers and underground are very well made, ground level is a bit rough and too flat. I'd even dare to say that the city level is somehow ruining the map and your effort, I think if you would split the map into 2 smaller and more compact ones, you would achieve a better result. But nevertheless, congratulations!

Congrats on the win Swift! I;m looking forward to it in the official map roster!

 

[Gregs2k2]

Congrats sir. I'll give this bad boy a whirl.

 

[Swift-Brutal-Death]

Thanks to the many people over the years that have helped host, play test and provide feedback on my projects. You guys keep these projects moving forward and I'm very thankful for your time. Happy Killing!!

Man... many congratulations to you my good friend

 

[Lieutenant Skittles]

Great job as usual Swift. You make quality maps that are so much fun.

 

[Lt.Hargrove]

This is next level. Official-like quality coupled with a distinct style. While there are some similarities to Burning Paris, the urban and metro areas feel distinct and play out very differently from that map. Plenty of space to move around which is very welcome, as many cutom maps feel too tight for the amount of action going on. I'm almost in awe.
