could someone skilled at mapping do a "revised" ( or whatever) version of overwatch. I would love that map if it had more suit, health, weapons, and was a bit more balanced.
So, would anybody do me the favor of making a new version of dm_overwatch =D ?

adding items and weapons is very easy. (assuming there are no problems decompiling and recompiling this map it should not be a problem for anyone to do.)

I rarely play overwatch so I by no means know the gameplay and flow of the map well.

Perhaps you or someone who knows this map inside and out could explain what needs to be added / changed?

I actually like the current version because it plays so differently than other maps, you really gotta work hard to keep your health up.

I think the plan is to make a fixed one for CAL, but that will just be bug fixed afaik.

Every modification of overwatch I have seen has ruined it. A more balanced pickup layout might work, but it would have to be well thought out.

Same for me.
It's true that you gotta work hard to keep life up. It's much harder than other maps in that sense.
I don't mean to fill the map with lot's of stuff, just as u said, to fix it's problems, improve fps, and just fill it with a bit more life, and maybe more weapons. :roll:

i always wondered how two dm_overwatch maps put back to back or one reversed with the rpg facing each other, might be cool for team play. The version with a charger and 357 on the top feels so wrong. One whore for the next at least the rpg runs out quick.

Before / If i fix it for CAL, ill take a vote and see how many competitive players want it upgraded with more pickups, altered props, a supercharger etc., and how many just want the bugs fixed with the rest left as is.

Tbh, the map doesnt see much play anymore except on low-skill pubs, and thats not due so much to the clipping errors as to the fact that far better control map options exist, such as zeta. A full remake might be just what overwatch needs.

needs to be larger, maybe revisit the SP version for ideas - like if for the top it was only a few small ledges and very hard to move around fast was 4/5 stories right?

I think overwatch would be a better 1v1 map if it was more balanced and revised.
