cp steel f12
About
Refreshed By:
Steel is a classic Highlander map beloved by many, but it is not without its flaws. Released in 2008, Steel shows its age with unclipped stairs, cluttered props, and narrow, chokey corridors. In this project, we focused on fixing geometry issues, making minor aesthetic and performance improvements, and adjusting parts of the layout to better suit modern TF2 gameplay.
