Add old kaleidoscope to portal as "Kaleidoscope 2039"

Played the new version of Kaleidoscope, quite an improvement, I like the new bridges, sandbags, cover, and new ground elements - tire tracks, flower beds etc and a few of the redone flags.

I was a bit put off by the changes to the top floors of the office skyscraper (was previously F2 not sure if its still F2). This was one of the best capture points in terms of variety, featuring lots of furniture and items you don't see in other maps. It was a really fun area, which has now been replaced with a bunch of boxes and crates.


Now the boxes and crates in the office are in line with the rest of the map being "lived in" at this point.

However, it would be cool to have the old map available in portal; it was a standout for particular game modes / portal custom games.

It would just be extra content without having to do much.

I figure the old version could be named "Kaleidoscope 2039" ;it's its believable a previous battle that took place, there was a short period of peace, a number of public works done to fix the park, then another battle has taken place and so patch 1.2 version can be the map as of 2042 - so it doesn't need any renaming.

It would also allow for a nice transition if you wanted to have a portal server set up with a map rotation similar to "evolution" mode in Battlefield Vietnam / following some kind of theme like operations / grand operations. Just a thought.

  • @Ga-Knomboe_Boy I like the idea or Kaleidoscope OG. Either way, there were elements of the original map that changed for the worse. In my case it is the data center point in the center. The bottom floor objective is much better than the new 2nd level one.
  • @Adamonic Thanks, I'm undecided about the middle point, although I did like it at the bottom of the data centre as it was previously.

    My other gripe is the removal of quite a few of the trees around E1 and E2 and where G was previously, but they apparently can't push the object count higher.

    Given they are reworking a whole lot of maps it would be good to keep the OG version of the map in portal once releasing the revised version.

    It would also add more maps that could be played in a "evolution" style map rotation.
