Nightfall

Nightfall is a Payload Race map created for the TF2Maps.net Payload Race and A/D CTF Contest. It won first place for PLR despite being unfinished.

Nightfall is set at night during a torrential storm, similar to Sawmill. The architecture is heavily influenced by Ravine.

By taking feedback from the official PLR map, Pipeline, the map was designed to provide players with plenty of routes into the enemies base to help aid the breaking down of a good defence. It features neutral arenas at the center of each stage instead of chokepoints which allows players to move more freely between the bases, and mechanics to help motivate players to complete the objective in the shape of short bursts in progress once the cart reaches a downhill slope and a round timer which, upon expiring, forces both carts to slowly roll forward until either one reaches its objective.

Your team must simultaneously push your bomb cart through enemy territory, in order to reach the finishing point, whilst preventing the enemy team from doing the same.

Change Log

Changelog:

Beta 1b - June 30th

• Removed 2 spawns outside the spawn rooms in Stage 1.
• Fixed all the console spam.

Beta 1 - June 29th

• Rain particles are now flagged as weather.

• Other misc changes.

Trivia

• Nightfall was Doublecross' original name, but Psy released his map first.
