This is a gravel-pit style map with a brand new snowy theme. It features gameplay rather different than gravelpit, even though it's the same gamemode. My main focus with glacier is to balance A and B, to make them equally hard to defend.
When I started planning what map to make after pl_repository, I decided to make a custom theme. I always liked the idea of a snow theme, so I gave it a shot. I began thinking about what gamemodes people like that are rare among custom maps. I chose the gravelpit gamemode because it's not too common in the custom maps scene, and I've always liked the idea of choosing which point to attack or defend. What I wanted to do was something different from gravelpit. In gravelpit, A is alot easier to capture, whereas B is alot harder. For glacier, I wanted to eliminate that difference to vary the gameplay further. So far I've managed to balance them very well I believe.
I have received lots of great feedback on the map and its theme so far, hopefully you'll enjoy it as well!
The snow textures:
My winter theme will be released to the public once cp_glacier hits final.
Changelog (a22 to b1):
There haven't been many changes from alpha 22 to beta 1, pretty much only visual changes to make the map look prettier. There have been some modification on ammo and healthpacks at A and B though, to make A easier to defend and B easier to attack. ---------------------
