Description
I really enjoy winback, and the lasers. I built this out of nostalgia. The plot of the original game is :

"A terrorist group called "Crying Lions" takes control of a space-based laser weapon. This is used to attack a military installation housing the controls to the weapon, called the GULF system. The leader of the terrorists calls himself Colonel Kenneth Coleman. The Secretary of Defense contacts the Special Covert Action Team (SCAT) with their orders: Enter the GULF complex and reclaim it."

I really did some weird stuff in the game, and it can be a bit un-intuitive. Firstly, intruders (The Crying Lions) are the defending team. They have to defend 2 of 3 possible weapons control systems within the building. They can choose 1 of the 3 to disable. They also get to choose 2 obstacles / traps to have for the guards ( SCAT) to overcome. I think they provides a bit of mix up and can throw a wrench into the enemy teams plan.

Everyone only starts with the Shrike pistol which has a mag limit of 8, and there is custom tuning on the Pistols and SMG to shoot slower like the game its based off of. I hope this does not ruin the intruder experience for you.

There is a "Drive-able" vehicle, and by that i mean you press a button and it goes on a preset path like a childs amusement park ride.

You can blow up the particle board at the rear of the building with a charge.

There is a separate building to the rear of the map, near the main building which houses a security shack. It will display which traps were selected and which weapon system was disabled, as well as camera views too. This spot can be overwatched by the main building so its risky to go to, but might be worth it to save your team the trouble of opening the wrong door or falling through the false floor.

I hope you are able to enjoy the map :)!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Problems I am aware of and have no plan on correcting:

1)The path the the vehical takes when going is akin to a drunk person learning to drive. I do not have the patience to make it better.
2)There is a some missing polygons within the radar dish on top of the building.
3) Sometimes the land mines don't disappear AND dont play an explosion sound when someone steps on them --- the trigger fails (you will still die though). This is probably not a big issue to fix for a single mine, but I build them dumb and there is like 40 mines.
4) You can see the helicopter behind where the SCAT spawn, and the buildings are floating. This is true.

I haven't actually played WinBack, I'll have to give it a go sometime, but my suggestion for the lasers (as you've already got a power box there) it to have a breaker to turn them off, maybe have it so the breaker needs to be held so as to encourage teamwork and let the guards know that the breaker is being held, thereby revealing the position of one intruder. As for the other traps, the explosive "barrels" (mines) are fine balance-wise, they cut off an area, but not too much, maybe make them shootable/nadable? The trapdoor is the only thing I'd say needs to be buffed or changed somehow, but I really don't have a good idea for that, I suppose the limitations of the engine are to blame, being able to either pick a door with an invisible trap door (or not) but having multiple would be a good start. Either way, great map, thank you for the work you do!

Unfortunately I don't have any real plans to go back and edit the traps at this time, but an idea to lessen the power of the lasers is to make it that players would be able to crawl under it or something, but I'm too in love with the original WinBack laser design. I don't really have a good idea to deal with the trap doors as basically everything except lasers was added on as a gimmick. What are your thoughts?

*Did ya know!*
In the original conception of the game I was trying to add explosive barrels/boxes (like WinBack had), but they would have been pretty annoying to implement, so I didn't add them!
2/2 (1000 character limit?!)

Thanks for the feedback! I agree with your trap criticism; Every time I play I usually pick laser, and something else, and also I always deactivate the basement / parking lot computer. It's a pretty goofy map and maybe a little too different than the usual Intruder affair in trying to make it similar to WinBack.

Intruder is a game that relies on communication and team work, and I was hoping that making the guns shoot slower, and having weird traps would encourage players to either stick together, or (in the case of lasers) coordinate their assault to help get around the lasers by shooting their "power box". 1/2

Fantastic and unique as always Willis, I love how far you push the limits of what I thought possible, I love the traps, if only it were possible to place them manually.

If I could suggest one thing, the trapdoor seems far too obvious and once you've played it once, easy enough to avoid, the laser is far too powerful as it completely cuts off that entrance, aside from the small balancing issue, the map layout is fun, fast paced, and easy to learn, having 3 different objectives with a unique mechanism to opening them creates some tense moments, while still allowing for a tactical approach, great work.
