Rockford Station - Survival Map

Description
Turning ON the Game Instructor (Options -> Multiplayer) is RECOMMENDED - or just read the description.

Established in 1912, the "Rockford Station" served the citizens of Rockford City and the passengers on the Crescent transit line, connecting New York with New Orleans. With the outbreak of the Green Flu, it began serving CEDA, and later the U.S. Army instead, as a hub and an evacuation center. Once the infected had breached the station, however, the soldiers retreated, leaving what was left of the local population to fend for themselves - most evident in their military cargo trains no longer hitting the breaks at the station's platforms.

A Survival map that puts you against waves of zombies, and speeding trains, within the perimeters of an Amtrak train station located in the suburbs of Rockford City - loosely based on the real-life train station in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

The map features:
  • Trains! (Who would've guessed!?)
    - The military might be gone, but their cargo trains still make the rounds! Two trains periodically drive through the station at full throttle in both directions, plowing through everything in their path, infected and Survivors alike! Keep an eye out for the light signals above the tracks - yellow lights warn that a train will pass soon, and red lights indicate a train has already spawned in!
  • Protection from the trains for Bots!
    - Don't worry about your Survivor Bots walking straight onto an oncoming train - the map features a system that will, 99% of the time, keep the bots from being turned into fine paste on the tracks, as long as they aren't pinned, stunned or dominated by something.
  • Plenty of supplies and viable spots!
    - Ever got tired of official Survival maps that contain like one or two spots viable for holding out? Here you have plenty - each packed with a few essentials, such as an ammo pile, a set of grenades, gas cans, and so on. Some also contain Tier 3 weapons and defibrillators.

To me it happned the most outside the train station. Just when going outside or beyond the tracks.
The interior of the station seemed fine for the most part.

Could you tell me in what places was the game lagging the most? I could try optimizing it a bit more, but there's not much I can really do - most of the map is a big wide open space, something the Source Engine really doesn't like to deal with

Not well optimized in my experience. This is the only map i played where the game lagged so hard that audio stopped playing. (Im not running mega hordes or anything)

Shame since this map looks really good and its clear that alot of effort went into it.

10/10 with good spots to stay to
gives everything you need for each spot and easy to run around when you start getting flooded with tanks
