Heads up! Scorpion is MISSION CAPABLE on the depot now. If you have a server and would like to play, let me know.

Sup everyone, Scorpion Strike is now final! Anyway, for those of you who don't know, Scorpion is a 7v7 MP Assault vs. Defense map, where the objective is to locate, retrieve, and extract a satchel. Loadout features M16s, M4s, M249s, M24s, and all grenades. The conditions are a daytime desert village with slight haze, so no NVGs. To accomplish the mission smoke, sniper, and suppressive cover fire are usually required in tandem. If sniper is unavailable, reaching the objectives will require some extra stealth skeelz. (Skills are good too, but not as good.)
[b]I ended up making some changes since my RC, some visual, some gameplay:
Viewpoints added.
The defense sniper building now has benches along the sniper corner, making prone positions easier.
All staircases received a makeover, some only visual, some visual and architectural.
All playerstarts now have one thermite grenade.
And that's all!
I also want to thank ')x(TBD)x(.CatKiller', 'Lady Hawk', my two brothers and my dad. Without all of them this map would be worthless, if it was finished at all.

I know this was a bit quick after the posting the RC, but I had plenty of time and there was not much work to be done.

I like the backdrop. It gives the feel of high altitude and it looks like a mountain thunderstorm is heading in.

Looks good dude! Let us know if you get aserver running it, would like to try it MP. Do you actually play with that purple HUD?

I'll try to get a server time setup, I know someone who can do it. I'll post again on here when I do.
And yeah, I do play with that purple HUD, what color do you play with? (Hmm, this sounds like a good general discussion topic.)
