    I liked them too, but 150 is too low for 32+ player servers. 200 is about as low as I could go and still make it not suck for big servers.

    Also, forgot to add the most important new feature, massive FPS increase. :D

    Is this the 100 MB BSP version, or did you manage to fix that by changing the lightmap scales around?

    I completely restarted from the old version. It's smaller than all the official maps now. :D

    For christ's sake why did you change textures to snow textures? We don't need another glycensomething. Previous texture wasn't bad either. Skybox is cool but textures suck so much that earlier version was better.

    Actually it is snow. ;P

    Also, I think a rock texture that is streched so much you only see a couple of pixels on the ground is a bad texture. ;) And I don't see what glycen has to do with anything. You don't slide around on this map, and it's not blindingly bright, so there are no gameplay issues that might be present in glycen. You may enjoy low FPS and giant pixels but I think the rest of us would rather not. :)

    Just look at the old map and new one as spectator 100m above the ground. This snow is unbelievably BORING. Textures were looking much better then and I don't mean the difference about the texture resolution. I mean what you used to texture the map and what graphical impression does it create. Not just "ZOMFG 2048 vs 128 they're great now!" Old map looks better.

    Map is much brighter than the skybox WTF? Fog was also making it look better.
