Highpass is a fast-paced King of the Hill map.
A long time ago it has been created by Psy (mapper of plr_nightfall).
In January 2013 I picked the map up, to finish it. (With Psys permission of course).

 

I'm looking for feedback from competitive players at the moment since I'll continue to work on this map in the near future.

im no connoisseur of maps, but although this is only in b2, it looks good for where it's at. definitely dont leave this as an unfinished project anytime soon. keep it up [=

I'm happy to announce that Highpass just got a huge update.

I recently released RC1a.

This version is a lot more suitable for competitive players.

 

I would be happy if it could get a proper thumbnail in the lobbies so people are willing to join.

Here I prepared one.
