Portal Combat 01 - catapults
hehe.
um im gonna flat out say it. We cheated. Not with any codes but we cheated to solve this. Not that it was too hard to figure out, just too hard to pull off. If it makes you feel any better it looked REALLY good and we had a ton of fun with the catapults 
thanks for you comment.
A friend and me had a lot of fun in testing the map while it was in development...
The first time, we were just jumping around with the catapults for some minutes
I know this map is really difficult, if you try it the first time.
But if you know how, it is some kind of easy but still fun.
What a crazy nice map!!! SOOOO much fun! keep on!
From the insipid looks of it, you would never guess the amount of animations and pixel-perfect gameplay this map can vaunt. The catapults paths were so honed that's it's actually hard to die: idiot-proof insurance design, while fully flinging for dear life.
Catapults are normally home to empty gigamaps with banal scripted jumps: this one manages to save through fizzler conditions and mid-fly acrobatics. And enough guidance to enjoy it, instead of dying at every mistake as it could have been. Well done, but think of the monotone boxy rooms too.
The first chamber was good.
I didn't like the second chamber very much. The idea was good, but I'm still not entirely sure how I was supposed to do it.

Hey there.
Thank you very much for that awesome playthrough. Nice to see how people try to solve it.
I really like the way you guys thinking about solving the first puzzle. Well done.
Now, about the 2nd room: (spoiler warning)
portal 2 cube catching bug
- the way you have tried it the first few times in the video was the correct way
- so I know you guys tried it already, but it is difficult, because there is a portal 2 bug
I dont know how to prevent it, but Portal 2 keeps catching the cube back from your partner at some time.
Like you have said: You have it, but only for some milliseconds.
That was really annoying when I tested the map while in development.
So I decided to put the players more away from each other.
This prevented the automatic catching at most times, and also increased difficulty,
because you would have to find the correct angles to look at.
I know it is not perfect, but I dont know how to prevent it completly 
I will create a video of complete map solving, too.

I cant see your screenshots because my nod32 antivirus blocked it. Can you upload for another site? Please.
Iam using this site for years now, and I know the person who owns it.
There is no virus, its just the 'exec' Server-command in the URL, which freakz out your anti-virus-stuff.
