Cool map mate, you've caught the HOLP styled map for good. You released this map on Friday the 13th (it's a bad thing right?); gonna get downloading and commenting in a flash. Good thinking.

Nice use of lighting to create dark and brooding atmosphere - Very cool. Layout is an awesome example of HOLP style, adding plenty of game play possibilities.

Many thanks for your efforts and for sharing.

nice map mate, thx for ur work

Just played it,

I must say the layout is awesome, the BSP work is superb, all materials look very nice & the lighting is wow. Like the soundtrack too !

Still, gameplay wise, I found the vest placement odd, which give to much protection to the sniper. Also, all footstep sounds hasn't been set so it's the terrain sound everywhere even when walking on wood & metal ??? I'm surprised the tights armor isn't here. I found many spots where they could had been placed so it would be more complete in regard of the armors.

Despite all those small things, it's a great map.

THX for your work, a keeper for me

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you're all enjoying it. (Shame I forgot those footstep sounds.)

Absolutely love HOLP and this one delivers. Larger than it looks in the screenshots and I can definitely see why you said 12 players. Nice work -- especially love the lighting.

This map is truly a HOLP theme with the contents of textures, lighting and filling amount of atmosphere. The visuals are good as new in a flow, nice music choice, great weapon/item placement, like the fancy skybox and lots of z-axis. The gameplay is entertaining and the bots are very good at but my teammates are less worried to let them off.

And actually the secret is that their aint no skybox a very clever use of a heightfog and some BSP towers.
Great work McLogenog. I am still really impressed by this map.

Ah but there is a skybox
I made a basic radial gradient from dot products. Mostly you're right though, heightfog and bsp do a lot to make it work.

I wouldn't say the community is long gone, just pining for the fjords. I like the redesign of HOLP2-Vogel with similar textures/meshes but layout completely redone with different trim also; I would almost call this a completely new map. I like the great lighting/shadows, textures/meshes, flow, item placement, great layout and some decent sounds. I seem to forget about flow in some of my reviews these days. The gameplay is good with many intersecting paths and even a back way in case you lose your way or become disoriented, but the bots are really easy and my team can't defend too well.
