[TF2] [Open Fortress] Map Review: dm_Thames

I've been getting requests to do more map reviews. So, I figured that dm_Thames would be the perfect candidate.

Thanks for this review, I really appreciate the feedback - I'm particularly pleased that you picked up on the attempt to make the map feel like a real, lived-in space, something that captures the essence of the real 70s London rather than just a broad caricature. That the accuracy only managed to get in the way of gameplay in a few minor places (like the tube station as shown in the video) is definitely a relief. Thanks again for the kind words!

1:06 you just wanted to catch that airshot, didn't you?

[@blamo476]

😳 maybe...

[@MegapiemanPHD]

The way this map is able to use large open spaces without that causing optimization or general layout problems is a feat in of itself.

[@BagNamedBleg]

I always knew this map had potential, even in its earlier pre-art pass days. Seeing what it has become now though just boggles my mind. All in all great review dude!
Also, thanks for including my art in the end bit-

Has to honestly be one of the more fun maps to play on its well crafted for the gameplay

Beautifull map

[@armada5534]

Definitley one of the most well designed maps in Open Fortress!

[@blamo476]

Agree, also I forgot to mention this (even if the script was days old, oh well) but the roads themselves do compliment the type of movement well regarding scale and length which helps a lot

Question, i have been trying to get into open fortress again lately, but it always tells me that the maps are not the same, how do i fix this?

[@blamo476]

that means your bsp files aren't the same as the ones hosted by the server, this tends to be the case when the game is updated and either you haven't or the updating process messed up (always check if you need to do so, even for minor shit). At that point I might just delete your maps folder (or download -> maps if that's the case) and checkout w/ svn again so those same files are restored to the proper ones. Hopefully thats easy to follow. If not, I might also ask the discord for troubleshooting as I may not be much help at that point

[@doritorancho4735]
