Update history

ctf_landfall_rc

• You can now jump onto the shack along the outside path.
• Better FPS
• Various detail improvements and additions
• Respawn rate raised 1 tick

ctf_landfall_test3

• Added a new room on the upper levels of each side by mid.
• Removed the outdoor ramp leading up, and put the indoor staircase back in (connects with the new room).
• Changed the sawroom going into the bases. It's not got more space outdoors, in hopes of making that path more dangerous for the attackers.
• Put the Intelligence back in the old spot
• Changed the layout of the Intelligence deck to give the outside path an easy route to the Intelligence.

ctf_landfall_test2

• Added a small new room in mid to safely get from the lower saw-room door to the porch on the side of mid.
• Added a new little alcove where the outside path meets mid.
• Removed the indoor staircase going from the outside path to upper mid. It's replaced by an outdoor ramp leading up.

ctf_landfall_test1

• flag return time raised to 35 seconds
• Changed the sides of mid. They're now higher up and have a porch area to give a better vantage point on the upper catwalk.
• Various changes to the former Intelligence area.
• Moved the Intelligence to the building adjacent to where it used to be. I also expanded the building to make it a better Intelligence spot. I'm just trying it out for now, to see what the new location does, so I might not stick with it.

ctf_landfall_b1

• put the spawn times back to a9 times

Trivia

• Players can walk through a bucket in the area outside RED's and BLU's spawn.
• A winter-themed version of Landfall, "Snowfall", also exists.
