_rc3 has been around for ages, and has been being played for that entire time.

_rc3 was released on the 14th April 2011.

It's now on our servers.

thx!

I noticed cp_snakewater_rc4 being played tonight in Albert’s TF2 Cup #4.

The change to spawn location should ease the problem attacking teams have pushing the final CP - if only someone would take another pass at the final CP of Freight.

Here's a link to rc4, if you would be so kind =)

God I wish, my team lost so many games because we just couldn't take last even with multiple tries. Doesn't help when the russkis go Heavy/Engy/Pyro/Sniper too.

Anyways, so where did they move the spawn to? It was next to mid before iirc. Cheers.

My poor phrasing has led you astray. Apologies.

The default spawn location - in this scenario, the defending team's spawn -has been changed:

rc3

rc4


rc3

rc4


rc3

rc4

Moving the spawn further back should prevent teams from quickly running back to spawn for health/ammo, and defending Medics won't, in theory, be able to sit safely in spawn, with uber/buffing teammates, until the point is threatened.

The only other significant change I've noticed has been made to the attacking team's left route to CP2:

rc3

rc4


rc3

rc4

I'm still of the mind that Snakewater would benefit from a clearly defined yard, à la Granary & Badlands, between mid & CP2, but the change should prevent this flank from being locked down quite so easily.

Good changes, and I agree henchling, perhaps removing the section of wall between the two exits from the 'house' onto what currently passes for a 'yard' (in front of the forward spawn door, below the window) would open it up more like Granary and allow more dynamic pushes.
