The beta 2 version of the pirates map is finished and can be found here.
Last monday there was supposed to be a test cup with 6 teams for a 5vs5 battle. Unfortunately this cup was cancelled due to lack of interest. I for one - but I think this goes for all 4 mappers- was very disappointed by this news.
This test cup could have been the perfect opportunity to see for ourselves how the new versions of our maps would actually play.
Also the lack of feedback for the new betas makes it harder for us to make improvements to our maps for the beta 3 versions. Although I must admit that for players to give feedback they must be able to play the maps with 10 peeps or more.... atm I haven't seen any server - except both of the tlr servers- hosting any of the current beta 2 maps....
Ah well, the show must go on: Pirates beta 3 will contain some minor changes. At the moment I feel that the second stage of the map is working well, so I will not make any major changes to those areas.
However I'm still not pleased with the first stage. In particular the allied spawn at the beach feels very awkward. I'm not sure how to solve this, but I'll figure something out... I always do :)
I'm planning to have a mapping session this weekend.

- add a hill or "high" open route to the left side of the map (similar to supply) and make it so you can TJ a gap into that turret/tower.
- Or add an extra dynamite point on the wall (similar to Beach).
1) Great work on the map! Kudos to you! :)
2) Saw the map on some etpro public, but I think it was still the 1st. version, some decent games thou a cup would be best to test this shit.
3) There was/is a wall bug near the ship that would let you see allies coming from the old cp area.
BRB Editing pic so u know wat I mean. Will post screens in the evening if needed :)
E. Pic is, standing in red dot area would let you see (more or less) the pink marked area.
