Marko has released GameArena test version 5 of El Kef! He's modified the SW version of the map to improve comp play.


GA test 1 release notes:

• removed the first allied spawns and moved them in the courtyard, under the big woodden shelter
• changed axis respawn time to 30 seconds instead of 25
• added a balcony overlooking the flag courtyard to replace the house with narrow windows that was almost a dead end for allies
• added a second team door for the allied forwar spawn. When the main gate blows, this provides a larger exit for allies.
• enlarged the main gate access for allies at forward spawn exit. Half of the building doing the corner in that map section has been deleted
• removed detail in the different critical paths to reduce congestion
• removed the dynamitable wall to the command post. It's now replaced with an open door way
• fixed a couple of graphical bugs & glitches
• moved the ladder just above the flag, to make jumping down easier
• enlarged the axis last spawn door way. It was extremely narrow, only allowing 1 player to run out at a time
• moved the trucks the docs have to be taken to. It's a little more forwards now, which means it's no longer in the allies' way when they exit the forward spawn
• removed the defense door to the docs. This should highly weaken axis defense

GA test 2 release notes:

• texture bug fixes (e.g small doorway exit of old indoor allied spawn...)
• ammo & health racks in first courtyard moved over to the opposite side
• enlarged doorways after the forward spawn to make access to all buildings easier
• fiddled with trigger entites to make the picking up & dropping off of the objective easier. This should avoid players needing to jump on the table / truck pick up / secure the objective.
• fixed "spawning on top of each other" bug. This was just a lack of spawn entities for allies :)
• improved FPS !!! (finally lol). There's still a bit of work to do on this but it's gradually getting better & better \o/

GA test 3 release notes:

• fps improvements

GA test 4 release notes:

• added split access to the CP for allies

GA test 5 release notes:

• fixed graphical glitch found by Blackjack & Syd

Hi Tanya =]

The creator of Adlernest, Dersaidin, has presented the ET community with another map designed for competition 6v6/5v5/3v3

Steal the keycard and use it access the elevator shafts. Grab the flag for a forward spawn. Repair the damaged Anti-tank gun and use it to gain access to the Axis Cypher Radio. Press use on the radio to transmit the Axis Cypher Codes back to Allied HQ.

note: firing the anti-tank gun is a 2 button process



For a beta 1 release this map is very good!
