    When you see the word "baseball" in the map name you would probably think to yourself "that's so unoriginal". You may be right, but I put a lot of thought in this map and it's not baseball by accident.

    Actually I never played baseball, never seen a game of baseball, and had no interest in this game - the shape of the baseball field is what I was after, as it's fit the gameplay I was seeking for. I wanted a single-rocket map with teams spawning away from the rocket-spawner, and not on the both sides of it.

    If you have anything to say about this map please do so, I need as much feedback as possible for b2.

    Screen (from b1):

    It's already in the map list, so you can nominate and vote for it if you want (thanks to Khadgar). Note: b2 isn't in the maplist yet.


    Todo's:
    - Darker lightning
    - At nemo's request, a "pro" version with faster rockets, maybe 1200-1500
    - Better texturing

    Decided to keep the current rate of nukes (5%), after seeing enough of them on the last time playing in LZ. In this map nukes aren't very useful, as the map is so big that it's not easy to spike someone.

    More feedback please :)

    Hey I don't wanna nag but I worked a lot on this map and I'm kinda edgy to test it already :)

    Can a root admin please upload it to the server and put it in maps list, so I can vote for it in the late night hours?

    Thanks

    Aww, that sucks. Are you sure it's your PC and not some kind of broken file?

    Re: db_baseball!

    I dont like it much for:

    - Radioactive grass, seriously why so bright?
    - its just 1 big green, nothing to "scale" it by the eye.
    - sky is too bright too, hard to see the rockets if your on red.
    - the edge you can walk on (not fence) on the back is not deep enough. ppl should be able to walk there out of reach of ppl so they cant airblast 'm. Everytime I walked there I got pushed. also oposite teams cant pass each there, while you cant jump on it from halfway. Same edge got me "stuck" several times cos the invisible wall is not lined up.

    for spacing its plenty, if you want to stay away from other players, you can keep running around.

    maybe make it so that reds can jump over the fence at their side but not on blue side blue and on blue side same so ppl have a safe place from pushing etc.

    thanks for your replies.

    just wanted to say that I don't have a deadline for b2 yet. I'm busy now with managing an Israeli TF2 league and that takes much of my time. Will keep you posted though.
