Long time since I made a thread on here, never mind...

Ok, so tonight I just finished my first ever map and I'm pretty pleased with how its turned out. Called cp_drill, this small - single control point map focuses on both teams struggling for control over a giant mining laser in the darkness of night. Don't be turned away by the fact I just said "single control point map", this beta test is purely for testing of this central area. I am currently planning and designing final control point zones for both teams which I will later make and add on to extend this current map near the existing spawn points. Basically - when the map is finished it will have a similar play style to a 5 CP map such as Well or Badlands, only with 3 Control points.

------------
Here are some screenshots of the finished beta.

A screenshot showing some of the area inside the factory, with the largest door leading inside with access for scouts, demomen and soldiers - as well as good jumpers with a quick eye. Normal entrance is located around the side up some stairs.

And here is the download link: http://www.filefactory.com/file/ahhg638/n/cp_drill_b2_bsp
The server also has a fast download speed so you can get it from there - Should this link expire.

Please don't upload this map on any server/hosting site before asked for permission from me, an official beta test will take place at some point tomorrow - I will post the time here when I know. Server will be around about 18-24 players so please join and have fun :)

EDIT: Remember to tell me about bugs you find in the map. Thanks.
And thanks to Broodrooster for advice etc :)
And sorry about the problems with the images, they don't like me and don't want to show their faces. If there is problems with them - tell me and I'll try and fix.
 
I know, I'm working on a fix at the moment. Please hold...

Thank you for holding - The screenshots are now repaired. Have a pleasant day...

EDIT: And oops I forgot to displace most of the ground before compiling like I was suppost to :(
I'll do it for the next beta release.
