this is my 1st submission. since there’s still 2 weeks, i’m fairly confident that my next map (which is also to be a 5 point CP) will make it in time. there’s nothing in the rules as far as i can tell that forbids multiple entries, so i’ll be aiming to enter that one too.

this will be the entry, unless i get feedback before the deadline about anything on the map in need of changing.

likely tactics:
2ndary CP areas/spawn:
many people will use the elavations here to hop onto the train as it goes past, allowing super-quick access the the centre. there is cover at the far end between two pillars for a sentry to hide. snipers will have a harder time fighting in this area, as there are no long range vantage points, however, by standing in the alcover above the train track, or in the stair well, a sniper can get a good view of the area. the raised platform around the point allows for players to make use of the height advantage it gives (particularly for soldiers and demomen)
deepinnerbase/final point:
a series of small rooms make up this area,with 3 access routes. i expect to see sentries going up in the computer aisles, or near the computer terminals. offensive spies will probably have a good time here.
snipers will unfortunately find little to do when attacking this point, and defensive snipers will similarly have a hard time being effective.pyros, heavys and medics will really shine on the attack, whilst spies, engineers and demomen will be very effective defenders.
central area:
all rooftops can be reached fairly easily by a scout with double jump to go from one to the other, whilst the side buildings will offer a good sniping/engie location. the point itself will also be a good sentry spot, but with the nearest metal in the side buildings, it means dispensers will usually go up 1st.
each team has 3 entrances to the main area – a side tunnel and the 2 train tunnels.

alternative classes options:
all classes should have their day, here, though snipers become less effective the further away from the centre the fighting goes.
so i’d say stick to your favourite, unless that is sniper, in which case, be prepared to change to a class that’s better able to handle the more enclosed areas in the bases.

Doesn’t work for comp. tf2. Sorry :(

an incredibly fun map to play at random :D but unfortunately it isnt fit for the purpose of this contest. maybe one day though ;)

I will see that this map ends up in the highlander map pool if its the last thing i do

i’m not sure i understand.
what criteria didn’t i meet for the competition?

unfortunately ezekel, although the trains make the map immensly fun. it makes the game far to hectic to be playable by organized teams. i like the theme, and i thought midle point was awesome. but the idea of the trains and the two entrances into middle point make it unplayable for competitive reasons

did the map make it to the fun server or highlander pool then?
(i admit i’m not in the know about where to go to look up rotation lists for servers)

this map is fucking sick
