Ok, we are so close to releasing that I can seriously tell you that “I” can smell it. As you can see from the screen shot that The Proving Grounds will be making it into release for sure. The feedback I have received from this level have been extremely positive and I really look forward to getting this out the door so that people can see the kinds of things I have been spending all that spare time on.

Getting this level out the door has not taken as long as Crenshaw, but the good news is that its still really simple as it was originally and I think looks much better. For those that dont know, this level was originally designed by Dragonne in 5 hours when he was bored waiting for other levels to compile. I redid this level pretty much for the same reason, I was bored waiting for Crenshaw to compile. But I can honestly say it wasn’t 5 hours worth of work, try about 5 times that.

The Devteam really didnt want to see this level go as it was one of the few rare levels in the game that is totally symmetrical, and plays very well in league CTF play. I too love playing this level and I didnt want to see it go. Luckily it didnt take a lot of work to get it up to 4.0 visual standards.
