Camden!

(Locki) #1

We had planned to release an update on Wednesday, but since this has been delayed until next week we wanted to give you guys something new to play with over the weekend.

We’ve set up a server in both the UK and USA called ‘Blockout Test’ that will be running the new Camden blockout map 24/7 in Stopwatch Mode.

Camden is BRAND-NEW BLOCK-OUT, so everything is very placeholder, please bear this in mind when leaving feedback/bugs :slight_smile:

The Camden level involves attackers attempting to redirect & hijack a train to steal the contents.

nice the map description with maps pics…should do them all like that :stuck_out_tongue:

(murka) #5

Oh… i was just about to request some top-down maps to get a quick overview and judge what areas might be troublesome and need a test, but you already posted that stuff. Thanks!

this is great. any chance we can can have those stitched together in 1 pic please.

love it love it love it.

probably be harder to see enemy when new textures are on though.
the more open spaces make sure you cant just run die spawn too much

(Anti) #7

You can be certain that it all needs a test :slight_smile:

This is a very new map and is pretty much at the earliest stage of development.

(Mustang) #8

My favourite type of testing :stroggbanana:

(Pytox) #9

Is it visible in-game where to go on the map? :smiley:

(stealth6) #10

Go left at the brown block… :smiley:

“Track switch raised! Lower the track switch.”

(DarkangelUK) #11

I’m gonna guess that this is the (loose) homage to Railgun :smiley: Sweet!

(Pytox) #12

Maybe there’ll be some kind of Dora gun? :smiley:

(iwound) #13

well if were doing requests oasis = tower of london.

(DarkangelUK) #14

Isn’t Waterloo = Oasis? Blow the wall, plant on the 2 objectives. Repair the pump to allow an alt, quicker route.

(acQu) #15

Thanks for the new map. Already tested and like it.

(DarkangelUK) #16

We had a lot of issues with the 2nd switch, seemed random when it would popup saying to repair, it would do one turn then stop. A few of us all tried and no dice. Switched sides and it worked 1st time, but not during warm up (though switch 1 did). Jeez trying to get people to stop shooting to test it was the biggest challenge ¬_¬

(Humate) #17

I like the framerate.
And the map seems alright so far.

(Mustang) #18

Aye 270fps, very awesome!

(Pytox) #19

In the match after that, 2nd switch didn’t work in warmup but did in match so maybe it works randomly? :confused:

(mortis) #20

Framerate will be higher without all the eye candy in the map. In the old days, proper zoning was essential in unrealed to keep the framerate up once all the brushes and static meshes were placed. Even with optimization, the overall framerate may drop once all the beautiful stuff is added. That said, I haven’t yet seen the map so I may have more useful information on this subject later… :slight_smile:
