Duel Train Graveyard Beta 2

duel_traingraveyard_b2

This is my very first duel map. It's a small one, but there's enough going on to keep it interesting. It's set in an old, rusty train graveyard. It's primarily for soldier duels, but it works well for sniper and demo duels as well.

Please give me as many suggestions, changes, fixes, and additions as possible as this is my first attempt at a duel map. It was fun to make, and I hope it's fun to play!

Changelog for Beta 2:

- Removed silos from opposite corners of the map to prevent campiness and make the playing ground more fair and exciting.

- Removed health and ammo from corners of the map to centralize the action.

- Added player clips around the pipe in the center so that the players can simply walk in and out without getting stuck or having to jump.

- Added a small platform replacing the silos with a ramp from the ground level. This platform also has a plank connecting to the ledge in between the 2 cargo boxes allowing all classes to make it on top of the cargo boxes.

It's on the squigg server Big Lou... I'm about to hop on and check it out.  I throw it on the squares server as well.

Ran through it and wondering if the ammo boxes should be moved to the top of the sideways train cars?  That way both health and ammo aren't just in the 2 locations... Just an idea... The middle pipe works much better, can almost come in from the side (slight angle).  Only thing I did notice is from on top of the Cargo boxes it's somewhat hard to tell exactly where the water covers in the middle.  Not sure if it's just the texture of the ground or what.

Yes, I tried multiple water textures and multiple ground textures and they all give the same effect.  I think it has something to do with the depth of the water.  What I may do is choose a ground texture that has an alpha blend of mud (if there is one) so that I can make the ground muddy and easier to differentiate under water.

I love the idea of the ammo boxes, I will change that for the next version.
