*I was advised to make a new thread because of changes to the map layout, so no flaming please*

Version 2 of the map is now finished. All frame rate issues have been resolved and almost every instance of z-fighting has been fixed.

Along with fixing the asthetic issues, we also changed the map layout up a bit by adding a second level to the window area, but we are unsure as to whether or not we want to keep that addition. For those of you that downloaded and played the first version, we would appreciate if you could download this version as well and give us feedback on whether or not it should be included in the final version.

If you have not played the first version and therefore have nothing to compare it to, you can download it here.

Here are some pictures of the new map layout:

For those of you that have not seen the first version, here is the original post (with the original pictures for comparison):

Crystal Summit Observatory.

Taking place in a scenic observatory, this maps aesthetics are rivaled only by its competitive gameplay. A nearly symmetrical map (some variations in cover, but layout is symmetrical) with a variety of elevation, aesthetic touches, balanced weapons, and a layout that provides great competitive gameplay. The observatory supports just about every standard game type and is best with about 4 to 12 players, teams or no teams.

Two bases (Red and Blue) are separated by the middle area in which most of the action will be taking place. The middle area is broken down in to a high and low elevation area. Each area has a main power weapon (rockets low, sniper high) as well many other great gameplay and aesthetic features. An additional lift that goes from the lower lobby to the back of the upper deck is provided to keep gameplay fast and fair. Spawn rooms have a variety of ways out and spawns are set up to be fair, but not campable.
