Giants

Description
Stay toasty amidst the permafrost in the waste heat of two giant supercomputers.

Giants is a rotational-symmetry Capture the Flag map with an emphasis on intel pushes and a push-pull flow, avoiding the stalemates typical of the mode. Fight amidst basalt columns and fresh snow, then venture deep into a base alive with the sounds of computers.

The Workshop breaks environment sounds! For a fully-functional version, download the map from TF2Maps.[tf2maps.net]

A ground-up remake and artpass of an old contest entry.
Developed by pont.

Asset Credits:

- Models
Yrrzy
- Particles
Freyja
- Basalt column textures

...no, this isn't a crasher-type. It was finished and released months before Crasher even started development. This map is named for the supercomputers in each team's bases, and Giant's Causeway, a large formation of columnar basalt on the north coast of Ireland.

time is added when captures are made by the losing team. there's a full breakdown of the roundtime logic this map uses: https://tf2maps.net/downloads/ctf-timer-logic.10041/

Pretty cool looking map, love the big basalt columns. Not sure how I feel about the 10 minute time limit though, I Feel like in casual that would result in a ton of stalemates.

releasing the basalt columns is up to iibo and freyja - i'll ask about packaging those up and making them available on tf2maps.

are the props in this map available as a separate download? i would love to use the basalt columns in a map im wanting to artpass. if the props aren't available, may i unpack the map for the basalt column models?
