Breif Description
Earlier this morning a call came in from dispatch notifying us that a top Horzine scientist was being pursued by police somewhere in the northern mountains. Then all went silent. Command deemed it necessary to fly in and investigate, despite the early morning fog and our pilot's objections. Looks like he was right, our chopper went down in the forest near the highway. So now we're stranded, our pilot is dead, we've got no backup, and there's no way that howling sound is just the wind.

It's like playing with the sun shining in your eyes all the time. I hope Guppy tones it down. It's on my server if you want to see what I am talking about. Also I was going to post some screenshots but for some reason they don't represent how extreme the mellow yellow is in game.

I absolutely loved the first beta's gameplay and lighting. Now let's see how good the new version is...

mate the 2nd beta is 6 months old you might want to look for a final version of this one

No its not lol, look at the edited time of the first post, not the created one. Its the same thread as Beta 1 I assume.

Some feedback.

The walkway over the tunnel at the far end of the map is too easy to camp. The zeds dont seem to use the staircase with the door at the one end and so walk the long route round up the hil, making them easy targets. If you removed the rock guards overhead you could have zeds dropping in from above making this easy camp spot harder to defend.


The large cliffs further down the road from that point really need some high priority spawns ontop of them. We were standing underneath them again picking zeds off from range with no real problems, some zeds were spawning in plain view around the police cars also.

If those two key spots are fixed I think the map would be much more enjoyable.
