Radiant

Mann Co., RED and BLU have opened branches on Mars and now they need mercenaries to fight for the deserts of the 4th planet. Will the Reds be able to prove that Mars is the Red Planet? Or maybe the Martian blue sunset will help the Blu ones to kick the Reds out of here?

Radiant is a Robot Destruction map and it takes place on Mars near Schiaparelli crater. There aren't many Robot Destruction maps, so I created one and tried to make it cool. It's my BIGGEST map and I put a lot into it. For this map I made a bunch of textures, models and even a custom martian blue sunset skybox with Phobos and Deimos. I tried to make a cool and unusual design for TF2, based on original rd_asteroid conception. I think the visual turned out interesting, in some places it looks like Portal, in some like Half-Life, in other like Mass Effect or Star Wars. There are some things I didn't finish or did too crudely, but I'm tired and want to do something else.

This map is not standard and it's more of a playground than a real competitive map. Radiant has lasers, laser fields, low and normal gravity zones, bulletproof fields (that you can walk through), probably one of the largest setupgates, funny robots (not only RD ones) and much more. I wanted to make a diverse and not ordinary map and it was actualy hard. I reworked this map several times, at different stages I called this map differently. Some previous versions that you will never see are: rd_martian, rd_occupation, rd_schiaparelli and rd_planet. I tried to make Radiant balanced, and I want to believe that it worked!

If you enjoyed this map, you might also like my other ones. My maps cannot be added yet (however I don't actually need it).
+Also all my maps have a .nav file inside for playing with bots (if anyone needs it). If you want to play Radiant with bots (bots, not ROBOTS) you also need to open console and type sv_cheats 1 & tf_bot_offense_must_push_time 0. But I strongly do not recommend playing with bots, as they are stupid and do not behave correctly!

I am publishing this map at the end of 2024, so Happy New Year and enjoy your holidays everyone!
