Don't upload the above - I'll make an RC2 when I get back at 9pm GMT.

It played good 4v4 I wonder how it will 10v10 Should be just as good though

Naa take that back, It will be beyond good. Changed to Green on request of a special little friend of mine <3[C]

My thoughts so far:
The defenders spawn at the first obj isnt needed muc, since its pretty impossible to defend, with a player count of 6vs6 it goes down in 5 sec . But if you want to keep it this way you could add a reach obj (desactivate the door shield or something like that) or a delivery obj (Use the key to disactivate the door or something) with the key spawn at attackers spawn. This way it would be much more reasonable for defenders to be there, I think.
Minor thing, the marker of the "Destroy the generator" obj is way off. You should move it to the center, it would look better.
The last obj and its design looks really rushed, like you didnt care about the map anymore and just wanted to finish it. But I hope I'm wrong about it and that this is just a temporary last obj and last part

[Azarael]

To be honest, I have no idea what on earth to do about the last objective. I can't think of anything else to do with it apart from to make a cheap landing zone, since that's basically how it is in the original. I'm open to any suggestions which aren't so extravagant as to have me create an entire new base for one reach objective >_< The idea was to keep some logic in the map by having the attackers push the defenders off the map, thus turning the map from a "run through this gauntlet for no apparent reason" to a "capture this base" scenario.

For the moment I have reverted the last objective to the style of the original map and added a single ramp to the front of the base such that it can be reached using a vehicle. I've also removed the end defenses and made it so the map doesn't push the spawns anymore for now.

I'm not sure how to move the centre without having a vertex placed in the middle of the static mesh. I think I can move the centre to either end, but I'm not sure.

I'll see about reworking the first objective. It's now destroy the gate / reach the opening.

I'm withholding the map for a little longer while I work out the serious terrain bugs and hear some ideas about this last objective.

Screen shots of last obj?

[Socio]

To set the center, you use the PrePivot XYZ possion in the Destroyable Objs Display settings :3

Current layout of end:




Thanks Socio, I'll adjust it

[Socio]

If I would be picky, I would say that those stone arches look too unnatural, the regular way that they are placed over the road
I dont have anything against this being the last obj, but you really should add some cool stuff to make it look like a real last defense base, static meshes, new geometry brushes, etc. Because now, with its simplicity its similar to the first landing spot of the attackers. Also it will never hurt to add some new obj while your at it, but what & when only depends on how you execute the concept of the landing pad aka. last defenders base.
