I wanted to make a very standard map for a change, and this is the result. It's a bit of a mix between Loas and Jungle suitable for 10 players, at least that's the limit we tested it on.
I hope you like it, have fun!

Changes made in 1.6
- Background's made lighter to give more contrast
- Different, more intense shading
- Waypointed, thanks to Eagles Arrows
- Fixed some scenery and poly bugs

use more darken/lighten effects and the background looks too alike like the texture (awokado 8-\ )
nice try anyway, nothing new 2 me
rating overall: 4.999/10

What does awokado mean?

Small map and basic layout, classic recipe for good gameplay :) If you concentrated more on the looks (shading, maybe adding some scenery of your own), you'd get a more than meritorious map.
I downloaded it anyway. ;D

Hehe thanks. Yea it's a real standard map, I didn't put to much effort in it cause I just wanted to create a simple map for fun. I guess I could update the looks a bit sometime.
Awokado is the texture btw. ;)

well this is one case where a map really doesnt need shading, I kind of like it without shading however to give it another look try giving more contrast.

The layout of it it's pretty cool, but the shading you applied to it doesn't fit the map.

nj!

Thanks. Yea, I also thought this map didn't need to much shading. I'm gonna edit it though so it fits the map a bit better.

Looks wonderful. Gives us a true Soldat feel!

Waypointing, if you don't mind.

Waypointed! That was fast... here is a temporary download link. Dutchman will provide you with a permanent one, I hope.

Yea this is a really nice map, its great fun. Its not a ground breaking map, but as dutchie said already its just for simple fun. Guess he was just bored ;) And this is really in the old fashion soldat style, dont really want thsoe 3d looking maps u know, sure a little depth is nice, but not to much. Old fashion looking, Keep up the good work mate.

The link you PMed me is working Eagles ;)
Thanks Alwex, those are exactly the maps I like too. Some depth is alright of course but I've seen some really 3d-looking maps, I just don't like those.

Updated the map and included a scenery zip file with all the scenery I used, so also some original scenery, just to be sure.
