Welcome to Custom Hightower C1! The C stands for Classic.
Hightower "Classic" takes the unreleased R15 while removing the cliffs and associated secrets to bring the focus back to PVP.
We are moving away from secrets and are focusing on the balance of PVP.
This is just C1 so things are still open for discussion/balance for PVP. Don't be afraid to speak up. If you think you have idea's on map balance mention them and we can discuss them.
You can view the full changes below.

PSA: Avast / AVG antivirus collecting browser information
A recent Vice[www.vice.com] report detailed the free antivirus company collecting and selling browser history (including URL, visiting time, order of site visits, search engine query terms, links clicked on Amazon, etc.) to third-party companies.
The data sharing is supposedly opt-in and shows up as during an installation screen for new users and as a prompt for existing users, but the article suggests there are some users have not been made aware of this. So beware.
The South American servers have been moved to a more powerful machine from a different server provider. This should fix the lag problem experienced over the past few months.
If you added our servers to your bookmarks with sa.jumpacademy.tf, it should automatically redirect to the new IP address 45.231.132.143.
Here is the current server lineup for SA:
Server Name
Address
jumpacademy.tf | Servidor Dedicado | SA
sa.jumpacademy.tf:27015
jumpacademy.tf | Soldier | SA
sa.jumpacademy.tf:27025
Please note the Hightower server has been removed as there were almost no players over the course of several months compared to the jump servers.
