u propably all know about the contest yet, for those who dont't:

i spend a month in this map, most of the time was wasted for bug fixing but now i am proud to present you this masterpiece [^][:D]

when i made this map i thought of making somekind of bridge remake with those medikit spawns on top of two pillar and two small side areas.
then when i changed the texture and added more trees and bushs and so on it actually became an interesting mixture of bridge and ratcave.
to bring something new i made this big pillar which is set to only bullets collide on the right side which really changed gameplay, but in a good way ^^

well, enough talking, here is the dl link

Map design is very good imho.
The shading also looks very good :)
I don't know about gameplay but i think it's a top map but that depends on the other maps :)

grand_diablo won't take part -> good chances for me ;D

it is like bridge, two medi spawns at the left and right topper platform and perfect for spas ;)

Looks a little barrettish to me though. But that depends on the size of the map.

This looks very good to me too... Nice shading and good use of sceneries.
Also watch out for polygon bugs.
Err... change your map's name too. ;)
Good map design nonetheless!

I've been testing this map for like 2 weeks now and almost eliminated any gay bug in it :)
there is one thing that make sthis a nonbarret map:

the thingy under the left platform is made of only bullets collide polys.

EDIT:
SpawnScreen added

(S = Spawn colors for teams, grey for default, red crosses = medikits, green dots = grenades)

A couple of things really, first of all, trees are rarely found inside caves, and secondly, the large camo-net looks a bit ugly.

doesn't change anything in gameplay -.-

and the camo isn't that big, the whole map is small and it's just a milimeter bigger than the ones in bridge ;P

Great Job! I'll download it right now! Looks a little small, but that's alright for gameplay!
