Titan has six Control Points. Both teams start with 3 Control Points. There is no neutral CP. All control points have to be taken step by step.

First off I’d like to say thank you for all of the help and support ETF2L currently provides to the custom map community play testing our maps. I would like to bring to your attention a custom map many of you might not be as familiar with called cp_titan. I’ve been working extensivly on this map for several months now and feel it’s ready to be rigorously tested by groups of your most competitive players to see if it stands up to the standards of ETF2L and what they’re looking for in regards to competitive custom maps for the next season. Therefore I would like to see if this map could be used in a weekend cup. Any thoughts, suggestions, or feedback on this?

As for some of your concerns Azdean I’d like to try to put some of your worries about the map at ease.

Quoted from Azdean

-No middle point!
Competitive tf2 revolve’s around the mid fight and when there isn’t a middle point then the start of the match is going to be rather messy and unstructured, I push for some diversity but the mid capture point is like a taste for the round to come. Without that in my opinion it will just be as lacklustre as a ctf mid fight.

I wanted to make things interesting with this map by taking out the neutral control point from the start of the map. I feel like this brings in a whole new dynamic to the game play because your no longer being forced to rush a central point in which the outcome becomes obvious of who’s going to take the point after the initial rush. I wanted there to be a bit more strategy used for the start of the map, since your not only trying to capture the enemies forward base but protect your own at the start. In addition after the neutral control point has been capped on any five cp map you end up with exactly what my map is anyway, a push back and forth between defending your point while pushing the next.

Quoted from Azdean

-Last point is so open!
There’s a HUGE open space on last that would make it so hard to defend for a 6 man team.
Scouts can run wild on that point and a engy would have to be a must.
A Sniper could do very well on that last point as there isn’t much cover and they have a whole wide open room to pick targets from.

There are already two other maps I can think of off the top of my head that are currently competitive maps that have large areas for their last control points: cp_granary and cp_well. I believe as long as a good six man team is alert and paying attention they can easily fight off any push the opposing team tries and recap the second control point back, as seen in several testing sessions to this point.

Thanks again Azdean for the feedback thus far and I’m glad you enjoy the current direction the map is going design wise.
