    Anyone tested their FPS on this compared to the current one? I know that the Halloween and Christmas versions can be a little unoptimised?

    Otherwise, I reckon that this might be a good addition, although not a replacement

    After exploring the map in spectator, its great. It has so much new things to it and it looks great. I had a few fps drops in some places but my pc isn't that great so I would expect it to. B5 has gotten rather boring and just turned into people speedrunning the 9 diamond ore. I feel like this would make a good replacement but as a lot of people love b5 I would say just keep both as I feel some people would be upset. I would need to play it for a whole map of TTT to give it an official rating but from looks alone I would give the layout an 8.5/10. So I give this map suggestion a huge 2+.

    I think there's no harm in making them two different maps, a classic b5 and an updated b5

    Heya, so I'm posting on this thread to give you the statistics that I have gathered and wrote down during an FPS test on both maps. It took a minute, and of course, the results would vary on systems because of specs. I have a pretty medium-high powered computer while others play on computers that are literal toasters.
    -=-
    Current Specs
    • 1650 Super 4GB
    • i5-10400
    • 16gb Ram
    -=-
    I played on 16:1 resolution.
    gmod_mcore_test 1 was used.
    FPS could vary for people

    Old B5 Results

    • Middle - MIN ~180FPS | MAX ~340FPS
    • Nether - MIN ~400FPS | MAX ~800FPS
    • Tower - MIN ~160FPS | MAX ~290FPS
    (fps was maxed out to 1000 to prevent capping)

    New B5 Results

    • Middle - MIN ~100FPS | MAX ~120FPS
    • Nether - MIN ~180FPS | MAX ~290FPS
    • Tower - MIN ~100FPS | MAX ~280FPS
    -=-
    I could have gone to other locations on both maps but those are the general places that people are in for most of the round. I considered the Middle region like this,
    , I would consider the middle to be where the traitor room is or where the lake is but it's nothing to worry about.

    Overall giving the map a phat +1 cause it's just awesome, I would replace it just yet but could force rotation at times if it's all good and then replace it.

    +1. This would play better with higher population.
