Sounds good, Yeah I have to say I really wanted my next map to have a whole lot more strider, apc, and heli/gunship/dropship action all going on at once so I think your going in the right direction.
Just a quick question, is this turning into a bit of a map series? would be nice to see this joined together with the trainstation etc, I'm not suggesting epic story but it's nice to play a mappers work in successive order.
G'luck.
Seems like you know what your doing.

Series. Maybe. This is the second part of Trainyard. I'll update trainyard a bit* and add level change to City Fight instead of game_end.
Due to the size and lots of open spaces there can't be too much detailed stuff and props. So it may be within this week.
*M60 on the outside is gone. It wasn't much of a help while attacking and made players defend overpass entrance/second spawn instead of the barricade itself. Fixes/changes to zombies in the tunnel. Few texture fixes (there are a couple of prop textures snuck in). And a couple of progress wise (killing snipers stops spawners instead of advancing towards the check point and spawners being not infinite. The Call Of Duty style clearly doesn't work perfectly.).
So far I'm really enjoying mapping and playing it. There was a dude (Doctor Pepper if I recall correctly) his narration filled with Metal Gear references (yes I got about half of it and no it didn't go for a tailspin) and his comment on the armory was priceless; "There is so much firepower in this room, it would make Hitler cry". I guess I'll have to make an armory that would make the guns themselves cry in CityFight.
As for the third map I'm thinking of an extra large map. Basically Diablo with isolated dungeons and stuff do to in the main hub (ie. Research for Shotgun +2, extra ammo space... etc.) with hub getting attacked regularly in every ten minutes... etc.

,This happened to me too while doing random shit with the crane 
I played this map for the first time and on a scale of 1 - 10. 10 being Valve quality, -1 being Vasili quality, I'd give it a 7.
The map design was interesting and the whole concept was very cool. I feel that the defense part could have been done better though. I barely even seen any enemies while it said we were being attacked. Maybe having combine repel from the holes in the ceiling would work. A lot of people I was playing with were complaining about the sewer section, but I thought it was alright. I think what you were going for is having the player run past them to safety, but most players sat in the back trying to kill all of them and it didn't seem possible.
The visuals were actually quite good compared to most Obsidian Conflict maps. As a filmmaker, I know how light can really add to the atmosphere of a scene or set, and your tunnel area was lit very well.
Overall I'd say it was quite good. Could use some polishing up but for the most part it was entertaining. A little short though.
I'm anticipating the sequel.

Sewer section is complain worthy, I should have better explained it and made zombies spawn less and more belivably. That is exactly what I'm going to do. Sewers are going to expand a bit. So players will get to see the power stations that link to the exit door and station 1 has that part on it while station 2 doesn't. Also wiping zombies is possible they are crowd, but still end.
On defend part not encountering any combine means someone is camping the spawns. I think that is totally legit as they pack ak47s with minimal cover to camp them. There are a total of 35 soldiers to kill and plus the stranded ones and they come in 1 squad of 5 then 2 squads of 5, if you let the combine advance they will force their way to the mgs and take them over
But rappelling/dropship troops might be included

7 moar days and I'll be back from holiday to my boring life... I'm thinking of finishing Cityfight for real this time. List suggestions and annoyances.
Also I've plans for a couple of more Attack Force Maps basically make the escape from Cityfight more obivious (EP1 start), make them follow some sewers emerge on the ground navigate ruined city with craploads of debris raining from citadels wreckage (EP1 End) reach docks and take over a tanker and ride on it with some wacky turrets (quintuple rocket launcher, pulse strom cannon? automatic 'nade launcher). And some beach landing/beach defence stuff with advisor hunting(EP2 end).
Any suggestions&ideas welcome.
