This map cannot provide a good experience for snipers, Combine or Vort, that isn't incredibly jarring, thus sometimes I do bring fog in to the rendering edges to make the adjustment more seamless.
people with snipers gonna be like crack addicts when we go to a map that doesn't have anything to block them

The fog exists as it does right now because it perfectly matches the draw distance of the map, down to the exact unit.

You would not be able to shoot beyond it regardless if the fog were completely removed or not as other players, props and map elements wouldn't render past it anyway.

One of the reasons why this map works so well despite its size and attention to detail is that it severely limits your draw distance, which includes the rendering of players, so the fog /exactly/ stops people quite literally popping in and out of existence on your screen as you walk towards them.

There is no way to scout players from a long range, they will only be drawn when incredibly close to you, which for example means snipers would never be able to hold a chokepoint or gather intel ahead.

can we play on a map that doesnt have bad drawing distance next time?

Maps without limited draw distance tank the server performance by a lot. Do you remember the depot?
