Glacier
1 Maps Available
Map Status: 100% Complete
Cp_glacier release candidate 6
----------------------------------
This is a gravel-pit style map with a brand new snowy theme. It features gameplay rather different than gravelpit, even though it's the same gamemode. My main focus with glacier is to balance A and B, to make them equally hard to defend.
When I started planning what map to make after pl_repository, I decided to make a custom theme.
I always liked the idea of a snow theme, so I gave it a shot.
I began thinking about what gamemodes people like that are rare among custom maps.
I chose the gravelpit gamemode because it's not too common in the custom maps scene, and I've always liked the idea of choosing which point to attack or defend.
What I wanted to do was something different from gravelpit.
In gravelpit, A is alot easier to capture, whereas B is alot harder.
For glacier, I wanted to eliminate that difference to vary the gameplay further. So far I've managed to balance them very well I believe.
I have received lots of great feedback on the map and its theme so far, hopefully you'll enjoy it as well!

Changelog (rc5 to rc6):
------------------------
- Added a new room at B in the building
- Detailed some more in various places
