CTF 2Fort Revamp

I created this back in 2010 (long before Steam Workshop existed) and finally got around to re-uploading it here after somebody pointed out some other people were ripping it off and stealing credit. Please click the video link for a walkthrough.

DESCRIPTION

This map is an attempt to alter ctf_2fort to make it more fun, dynamic, and less-prone to stalemates, while still maintaining distinctive 2fort features and gameplay. Biggest features include:

• An unique way for flag-carriers to escape the enemy base, via a new cooling tower and underwater sewer section.
• Ramps to exit the water, to make it easier for enemies to attack the weakest defensive front.
• A new room in each basement, to help overcome intelligence-guarding sentries.
• Changed main-spawn exits, to avoid a "single big blob" of defenders.
• A vent in the lower-courtyard leads the basement, if you dare the one-way trip.
• Added more pathways and hiding spots on the first floor.
• Sneaky spies can go through the sewers without splashing noises.

And many, many small symmetry-fixes, optimizations, and tweaks. (Did you notice the clouds move?)

HOW TO TRY IT OUT

It turns out that TF2's workshop is still user-unfriendly. The dedicated server is fine, but if you want to test out this map alone you need to follow a few extra steps:

[olist] [*]Subscribe [*]Wait for Steam to say the download is done [*]Start TF2 [*]Open the console [*]Type the following command: map workshop/721186968 [/olist]

That should launch the map. If you want to change the map on an existing server with people on it, you'll need to use the changelevel command instead.
