Yeah. I guess I forgot about that thread. Sorry. Still. I'm not sure what is doing it. Why would there be a trigger_catapult there? Or is it something else?

It wasn't necessarily a secret.

Tanger2b's signature is also kind of a dead giveaway.

Yeah, that looks like a trigger_catapult to me in the video.

There are 2 random trigger_catapults in this map. Either they have some sort of purpose or, who knows what

On the other side, kind of directly across from the showcased one.

I guess the trigger_catapults are used to make sure that the player "portal flings" to the right area or something.

I assume so you can't do that circle-strafe and break the map really bad?

Well you can jump around the corner to the second relay with ease, and I think the one in the video is more abnormal than a circle jump around a corner where you can clearly place a portal instead.

Valve wouldn't really put a catapult to prevent that. I'm pretty sure they didn't think anyone could do that anyway.

Plus it wouldn't break the map. There are portal surfaces up there. So you'd just be taking an extremely pointless slow route...
