We have been testing a little known map named Katabatic, and I'm afraid to have to say, it's just as fun as it always was!!!

We need more playtesting to test how many deployables will be available for the final release. We are toying with the idea of holding a pickup game to test the map out in a 20-22 man setting but we aren't making any specific announcements as of right now.

I would like to thank Wonderball for the countless hours he's poured into this masterpiece. He's truly a master at what he does. I am not worthy.

To hold you over till it's final release, I present Wonderball's Katabatic for T:V.

awright!
I think it's just barely possible that some maps like this will haul back TV from te brink of death. Well it wont get us many new players, but it'll keep it fun for those of us that remain.

PS my bases on kata looked better :P

Also in case you missed Zio's text above, we would like to get 20 people or so for a semi-private beta test this weekend (to determine turret numbers, etc). If you would like to be included, please sign up in this thread).

its eerie how much it looks like it.

t:v has this wierd ability to look remarkably like other tribes games...

cs:s can't replicate the look so well...

Thats a lot due to the imported T2 textures and almost exact scale.

Ya got the whole thing done, but ya want a closed beta to get the right number of turrets? I can tell ya right now, I think 4 will do nicely.

Albeit a beautiful map, it's just a map. Release it like the hounds I sent to VU's head office.

FedEx, over night. They'll be done by lunchtime. :)

motherfucker this makes me so pissed off.
That looks fucking kick ass sweet.
But with no support of T:V, I am too depressed to reinstall.

Great job Wonder. The map looks unbelievable but seeing the Vengeance vehicles in place of T2's on Kata makes me want to throw up. :(

I completed a few minor tweaks based on feedback from last night. This weekend's beta will be very very close to final (barring any huge issues found this weekend).
