What do you think about the map? I think its a very nice flowing map that would fit pretty well into 6v6 and 9v9.
Toughts?
Quoted from Andee
The map has alot of height difference, enough ammo/health packs to get around
Quoted from Reload
The problem with this map comes when one team reaches the last part. If both teams know how to play the map, then it can really, really take a while.
More valid arguments will be added.

Personal opinion:
I hate it. Incredibly open, highly unfriendly towards Spies, Heavies, Pyros and Engineers along with a MASSIVE chokepoint that’s so easy to hold it’s hilarious.
Cold blooded Israeli :)
This map is boring even on the pubs.
Quoted from Skyride
It could be interesting tactically, but its far to open to snipers.
It’s also very easy for a scout or spy (almost any class in fact) to get close to the sniper and take him down. The heavy classes can also hide behind obstacles pretty well, so I don’t think it’s too much of a sniper map.
We played it once in a finnish hl pickup and it seemed to work pretty well.
We tried this map in the WirePlay 7v7 League and it was quite good. Must admit that the difference in skill levels between my team and their team sort of cut short the map. One thing that I did enjoy about the map was that it wasn’t so much a spam fast as it usually is in pubs.
Presumably, limiting the map to one round would be an answer to those worries that the map may drag on.

Tactically I cant say much about this map. But Im always enjoying it on pubs. Its all-class friendly too. So I disagree with Buffalo in this.

It helped that we already played a match on it ;)
The problem with this map comes when one team reaches the last part. If both teams know how to play the map, then it can really, really take a while (we’ve had a 45-minute game on it, which consisted of about 30-35 minutes of pushing the cart the last small part upwards). So imo you shouldn’t use this map in the Highlander Challenge as it can turn into a really long stalemate if both teams know what they’re doing.
It’s not a bad map.
Once both teams work out how to time their pushes it becomes pretty enjoyable.

or if both teams don’t know what they’re doing (like usually happens in pubs)
can’t you put a timelimit on this map and if it runs out, the team that pushed the cart the furthest gets the win ? (just a rough idea, but it would get rid of all the stalemates that are happening now)
