Default Castle4 vs Castle3

Now that 4 has been around for a while what do people think of it? Which version do you prefer?

Castle 3 has way too much open space and some of the areas just dont have much thought put into them. Castle 4 solves both of these problems, even if it does make it a little more difficult to defend.

I want 3.5. I prefer Castle3 overall, but some of the additions in Castle4 are good.

Good additions:
Stage 1
- high spawn exit

Stage 2
- roof near attacking spawn
- high spawn exit

Stage 3
- nothing

And of course the overall visual upgrades are good.

I prefer 4 a lot. 3 is just way too big, especially on the final cap when the attackers have to walk like 25 seconds just to get past the bridge. Also the raised platform on cap 2 makes the assaulting portion easier.

Im not sure i kinda like both cause you can still pick off people as a sniper but there are up and down in the two maps

Downs

Castle 3 - Is way to open and more easy to get picked off and more easy to capture the points.

Castle4 - Harder to capture caused by the closed of areas by walls and alot of sneaky corners where engies are safe which is also a up.

But overall the both maps are fun and gonna need to get use to Castle4

3's better. The last phase of 4 has some pretty awful design choices that force the attacking team into bottlenecks right outside of their spawn.

I like castle4 slightly better. I like what was done with stage 1, even though the first cap point doesn't add much it doesn't make it worse. The second stage is a bit easier for the attacking team now. The third stage isn't that great but its a lot easier to capture than the old one which had too many 20 minute defenses.

I like them both, but like v4 slightly more because the first and second stages are big improvements from v3. The third stage, not so much.

I actually kinda like playing both versions of the map occassionally.
