The map is based around quite a large bridge in which there are mutiple command points based along it which need to be controled to help progress of your faction (Rebels or Combine) onwards over the bridge. The Objective is to Hold all the Command points and eliminate the enemy.

The bridge has some underleading paths to make flanking possible around gun turrets and where the two players stalemate. Also maybe in a furture version i will widen the river to allow possible boats to travel accross the river and to attack the enemys base from behind.

The bridge looks nice with the cars on it, but I think you got too many streetlights. It looks very repetive and it doesn't makes sense to me they are placed that close together?

[BiotecVirus]

The Reason there was so many lights was..
1. I did not think there was enough on the level to keep it fully lit but ive changed this now.
2. Lighting Experiments with some of the scenary.
I have removed about 50% of them so dont worry and also remeber its in its very early stages to it does not have much made yet hence why it looks repetive.
