A big map combining both aspects of urban and desert warfare.

This project was restarted (mainly because of balance and performance issues), and because the other page I had couldn't find my UserID...so I had to trash it and make it again.

However, some parts from the old project were used in order to build this new one.

Basically, it's half dust-like (mainly T-side) and half nuke-like (mainly CT side).

The map IMO is very balanced (although big, I can't say it's small).

It's my second map (First official one, though. The 'first' one was just some practice, not a map), and yet try to do my best.

Screenshots (Alpha v3.xx and v4.xx)

    Posted by Lost Take this from someone studying structuring engineering this semester but there is no way you need that many I-Beams to support the roof as you'll already have rebar in the concrete block walls themselves which can support a rather large load already :P You can remove 80% of them pretty much, its just overkill as you have it now. As for the rest its looking good. The walls in screenshot 3 could use a bit more love but the simple style still looks good. First thing to catch my eye of all the screenshots actually.

    This post just makes me wish I was in structural engineering. <\3

    y i laggin?
