There are a few buildings that aren't done. But, gameplay has been improved, more cover added, some new buildings, etc.

The second file is a weapons powerup you may want to use with Prado4.

Well, the map looks really cool my friend, but the mountains / hills could be improved..

As Tow fan i need to check this

Looks very nice. Shadow casting is wonderfull.

I don't like the ending of the tree border line and the wall tex in the 3rd img. But that are the only things i can figure to be improved.

btw how did you get that shadow casting on the railroad tracks. Looks aweome

This is a real TOW, not EAs interpretation. You have to capture the trolley and move it to your station and hold it there for 60 seconds to win; and believe me, it ain't easy! You get about 100 feet before somebody shoots you and takes it back the other way. It even works great playing 1 on 1, but if you can get 4 or 5 per side, it's nuts. Me and my brother have been playing it 1 on 1 and we play for about 2 hours at a time and it never gets boring, because you are constantly trying different strategies. But, sometimes we switch to my second "Capture the Trolley" map (Prado5).

You are right about the map edge in the third image. I have improved it some, but it needs more work. I didn't do anything special for shadow effects. Just sun angle and color settings and bounce 0 in Rad.
