cp_standin is a 3cp map with a twist.

It doesn’t play out like gravelpit, instead both teams try to cap all 3 points.

The author of this map made a post on here a while ago:

He explains the idea of the map and you can get an idea from the screenshots as well :)

Standin is a remake of the map cp_fallout by spas12. Fallout was quite interesting with a domination gametype that led to some dynamic play. Unfortuntely, the maps lack of symmetry, horrible framerates and somewhat poor planning make it pretty much impossible to play in a comp league. So, I started from scratch with some of the maps layout and features as a guide for creating standin (PUNSSSS)!

Standin, while being quite unique and with a very different feel to it, does in some ways play out like a 5cp map. Players rush middle, the winning team usually captures mid, and concedes one of the other points to the opposing team. From there, defenders attempt to wipe the enemy, so they can retake middle, backcaps ensue at all sorts of odd times and angles, and variety end up in a vareity of interesting flanking positions and attacks. Overall, our playtests on it have been superb, and I would love for people to give it a try.

Standin is scheduled to be played in ESEA season 10.

There are some VODs from that ESEA season on extv:

This one features the mapmaker as co-caster

This is another Invite game, this time with Pyyyour co-casting

Did any of you play this map and do you have some thoughts on it?

Would this map be worth a one night cup?

I’ve seen some ESEA matches on it and did not really like it :/
I never played it though…

Played a new map tester mix on it. A terrible terrible map. It has terrible design in both its gameplay and looks.

I think it would work if it were the only map ever played, but to make teams play this map once in a season just as a “change from the standard 5cp” would be a terrible idea. It’s simply too different from the standard game that it would be pointless.
