I was working on a Beta2 back then, but as it seems I never released it. It already included some fixes like clipping the way from first allies spawn to the boat. Though this was intended as a feature in the first place (radar-style end objective with close axis/allies spawns).
But I figured the real problem was the second stage with the tank escort and missing alternative ways (such as a cave or a upper one). Now that I look at the movie I might even give it another shot, but I'm not quite sure if its worth the time.
(need to find bugreports and stuff in the old newspost for that I suppose)
Coast for example I built in about 3 weeks. But that was a once in a lifetime act, because I just finished school and had too much free time. Usually a whole map takes various months. Unfortunately the balancing/playtesting is the most time consuming measured at the impact it does on the map afterall, still its important.
Ofcourse open space maps like Coast/Radar take alot less time and brushwork than a town like Oasis or Goldrush. Terrain can be c/p and sculpted at high speed if you are used to it.
We talked about it once or twice but atm there is no contact/chat between us two. IIRC he was working on something on his own. I have also blocked out a whole new map two months ago and consider finishing it in March/April (not sure) or I could pick up Coast again. Depends on my free time and motivation mostly.
