Edit: Now updated to version 4.

tbd_focus.altx Make sure you get version 4.

5v5 TBD Neutral Bomb map.

One with a plethora of bomb routes instead of one always swarming with explodets.
One with a delicious health-restoring neutral bomb.
One with delicious translucency and an otherworldly location.
One with...actually, just go play it. That's much easier than describing it.

Test her out in skirmish or get her up on your servers. V3 is up on new england and proleague and unofficial 6 but that'll be dealt with soon. New thumbnail in lower post.

Barring acts of god, this will be the last version. Enjoy!

LOOKS NICE. I cant wait to play it.

Personal, un-pro opinion: I think that the turrets that are on the 'V' shaped spikes on the top and bottom should be moved to the ^ above the base and the v below the base.
(If any people like nesnl and other pro map makers disagree, please say so. I'd hate to ruin a good map.)

Have gotten a great response from the community and have posted an updated version dealing with the loopy infestation. Let's test this new one out so we can get some new maps on ladder!

Anything I say would be a complete understatement as to how much I effing love this map

I played the original version earlier today and found it to be quite good, gameplay wise. I'll have to try the new one.

The fourth (and presumably final) version is here. Poured the hours on and fixed every tiny detail.

Changes:All texture are now aligned, a second parallax layer added, floors and ceilings now very wide Vs instead of straight lines. Parallax colors muted, every single corner very slightly blunted, V obstacles above and below bases moved slightly away from center.

Apologies to Vi (I thought version 3 would be the last version because it was great) and Maimer (who said it could do better and was right.)

Get it here.

Just played newest version, is very well balanced, (at least against bots).
I like it a lot.

[Sarah Palin]

can this be added temporarily/on probation to Official or Ladder servers?

I really think it's worth it.

This is now definitely the best neutral bomb map in the game.

After games with pub-type players and ladder-users, it's been awesome in every way. Only flaw I can see is the awful parallax (but I usually play para false).

hello, I love playing on this map but does not take it wrong I'm not a fan of the graphics. And then I made no attempt to re denature your map, and renamed tbd_focus2:


tell me what you think if this does not pose problems

thanks !!
