They're a little plain right now. Could probably do with a bit more 'polish'.

Im a little confused, what do pics 9 and 10 show? I assume it's the modification made to dustbowl but no matter how many ways I look at it, I still dont understand what exactly it is or what purpose it serves :(

As i didn't actually take them shots, i'll have a guess :P

I think they both show an extra exit at the start of Zone 2, the one where u usually just spam grenades and pipes down as demo ;)

That's right. Instead of the usual choke point at part 2, there's now two holes for the offy to go through.

from tfc.wireplay.co.uk: "Generally, the beta is very stuttery and slow"

I had same problem, it happens when it needs to download new resources like sounds.

Yeah, gathered it was that :) Wanted test rejoining same maps again, but not got around to it yet.

How does that extra entrance help? One mirv or an EMP or pipes in the middle of the two will still anihalate anything coming out :o

Aye, but it spreads the spam... gives you more of a chance to get through 2 mirvs than 4, right?

:P

But they;'re right next to each other, unless they reduced gren splash area, that's going to do nothing :o

So, faced with a choice of 2 openings or 1 (with the same amount of spam being thrown), you would choose 1 opening?

Seriously though, if the 2nd map has 2 openings now, what about the last one? That is the spammiest of them all.

No, what I'm saying is that there's no point in that secon opening, and that they are effectively one opening with a pillar in the middle :-/

it will make it easier for offy, as a lot of the grens dont make it all the way to the other side - but a well places emp or mirv will be as effective as ever - which is a good thing imo :}

third one doesn't have a gren bag for deffy tho

erm? i thought the changes were made to section 2 - where there is a gren bag for deffy and always 9 sguns around the exit :O?

They have been made to section two, someone was complaining that the third section has one entrance, and the niggy pointed out that def don't have a gren bag in section three.
