Description:	This is the second map I have submitted to the TWL community for competition. The first was Pandemonium, which is currently being played on the TWL's 12 and 16 man CTF ladders. Mad props to: =V= Rasta for testing server use,Unamed and the rest of the SES crew, A-51 crew, Anakin, Knightwolf, Powdahound and the yetis at #t2mappers irc, z0dd and all the Vanguard cats, and everyone else who supports the custom mapping community in general and in particular who came out and had fun during Boss betas. If you win on this map, you will have worked hard. It neither caps for you nor defends for you. There is strat variability in the model (Snowblind) and unique terrain and gameplay features borrowed from many of the T1 greats (Stonehenge, Ice Ridge, DOX's Jagged Claw), which amount to an entirely new, chaotic and dynamic T2 experience. As always, I hope you enjoy my work.

NOTE: If you are experiencing "lag" on this map, it is due to the over-sized sound files: Drum_1.wav and conchtrumpet.wav. You must manually remove these files from the vl2 file in order to fix the problem. Winzip (winzip.com) works fine for opening up the vl2 and viewing the contents. Also, if you have Unamed Map Pack 3.0 or the X-pack (downloadable at www.teamwarfare.com files), the files must be removed also.

Great map, Rilke! Somebody should delete the first comment. Not enough turrets? Please..Do you have any idea how unbalanced it would be with more base turrets?

lol, first of all, I hate when people make map comments for other peoples' maps about themselves *cough* NOW, this map rocks. Custom terrain and sounds. Very simple gameplay that all cappers will drool over. The environment is fantastic and what makes it an A+, including wonderful new sounds. Nothing revolutionary as a CS map, outside of the environment, but it all falls perfectly in order. Mision area is perfectly sized, and the general distances are also perfect for the style of play. I noticed weird terrain block placement (=)) and a curious lack of gens. It's also a case where custom interiors would add a great deal. All considered, this map is definately one of the better ones of this style, and I just hope you'll tell us all to freely use your uber-cool sounds! The time and thought that went into the detail of the terrain alone makes an A, and the brilliant sounds takes it over the top. Great job...

Another great map, there are not enough mappers out there like Rilke. Pandemonium was great, Boss is better. F is for Fag.

Another excellent map from teh panthar. Good job man, looks so much better than when I beta tested it :D Hope to see it on TWL along with my map of course, hehe. SirLucas: obviously you're a defender that doesn't know how to use a chaingun or any defensive weapon and hasn't seen top level play, sorry, but the map is perfectly balanced

Wow. I love this map. I wasn't such a big fan of Pandemonium, but this map blew me away. The terrain is simply ingenious. Great for skiing, and very nice for gameplay. I especially liked the crater in front of the base that both gives you some serious momentum to ski away from your base and also protects the flag. Speaking of the flag base- very smooth. I love how it hovered just over and behind the crater/ditch th ing. The bridge in the middle of the map was great. The fog was amazing - that's actually why I downloaded this map. Looks great with the sky and the map - haven't seen those color combs. in T2 yet. Anyway, great job with this map, I hope it gets MoW!

Pand and now Boss are by far two of the best maps for T2 right now. For those that dont know Boss is also being added to the TWL compition map rotation. Thanks again for making some damn good maps.

Great, Love it.. saw the earliest beta version.. was great then and it was unfinished! Bears more than a passing nod to T1's IceRidge in my opinion but thats not a bad thing, and I think its far better than its possible inspiration. Hope the European competitions start allowing new maps into their map list, cos this and Pandemonium should definately be there.

Very nice job Rilke, was wondering when it would hit T2maps ;) Terrain and base layout should make for a very fun, fast paced match... Ho-pe TWL adopts this map ASAP.

Boss has been released publically in various settings for more than a month now. It only now comes to t2maps.

Okay, at the time of this posting their have been 3 downloads, and 3 replies with grades on the map..... doesn't that seem a bit odd; I have never seen everyone reply to a map after downloading it. Oh well, maybe I am just thinking too hard

i have always liked ur maps and(since u only made 2 of them there isn't much to hate) i also like it whena mapper takes into consideration of the laws that must come into effect. (i.e. having ur defense actually work to maintain the base, not allowing a quick capture whenthe capper comes in for the flag) from what this looks like i would ahve to say that this map looks to be equally balanced its not overly crowded (turrets, ff's, vehicle stations which i don't mind honestly but i perfer man on man combat) i give u a A+ for these reasons; looks balanced, one must have a tactic in order to win, creativity, and also i liked ur work from before ;). keep them coming
