cp steel f11
About
Steel is a classic highlander map beloved by most, but is not without its flaws. Being a map from 2008 Steel really starts to show its age from unclipped stairs through to cluttered props and chokey corridors. In this project we have aimed to fix issues with map geometry as well as minor aesthetic and performance improvements while also adjusting some of the layout for a more modern TF2.
