So ack showed me around his new version of Warpath2, as he mentioned that he would be working on here: http://edgegamers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=65224&highlight=warpath, and it was quite fun.

As he said, he's fixed a bunch of the bugs and it's working well--a lot of my personal annoyances are gone now in addition to things that I never cared much about, so hopefully everyone can enjoy the new version.

I know this is a somewhat hectic time on eGO with the server edits and the new TF2 update, but it would be sweet if we could get some people together for a playtesting scrimmage. Maybe we could spend a few minutes at the beginning looking around and having ack show off the changes so that everyone's familiar with what's different, and then we can dive into a few rounds of actual gameplay to see where the new strengths and weaknesses are.

Usually weekends are best for everybody, so if you have some time this Friday and Saturday, join into the server between midnight and 3am EST (he has it open already, so you can browse around it now if you'd like)

It would be awesome if we can get one of the eGO servers to switch to the map for a few hours if it's ok with the admins. Does anybody know if maybe the custom maps server could support it for awhile?

Note for admins: if advertising an external server is against eGO rules, my apologies in advance--it's for a good cause, and it's temporary :)


=====SERVER INFORMATION=====
Name: ack's test server
Map: cp_warpath2_u3
IP: 75.151.103.196:27015


If you play, be sure to say thanks to ack for the hard work and time he's put into this. The edits might seem subtle, but it's still time-consuming to get the playability right.

...couldn't get in...must be because of the update?
 
The map is now cp_warpath_u3, which fixes a few bugs on the ladders for the towers at points 2 and 4, which could potentially glitch previously.
 
Checked out the map earlier and Liked the improvements. Looking forward to seeing the improved warpath in severs :D
 
The new warpath made it onto the main eGO warpath server on Saturday, so you can check it out. It's made for some nice improvements in gameplay already--not so much engy turtling at the last point, and less Rick-Rolling when fewer people are playing.
 
I know you have probably completely revamped the map but if I may, did you get the original authors authorization to do this? I know this may sound bad but if you haven't its "stealing" his work, I know the guy who edited Toyfort into alt1 and alt2 nerfed the map completely I just dont want you to run into any issues with the original mapmaker if you haven't gotten permission. :D
