This map has been added to the rotation for testing.

Current version: [url=http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/41290:cbc97]cp_junction[/url:cbc97].

Please provide any feedback you have regarding bugs or balance.

I like this map, it is like Gravel Pit but extremely confined and smaller. Only some minor problems is that the spawn doors for A and B are relatively close together, allowing one Demoman to cover both. The low ceilings make it a bit hard to rocket jump as well.

I haven't played a round were Sentries dominated an area. It may be possible to lock down an area with a few good turrets.

I like this map. Quick rounds whether you win or lose, so you don't feel like you're being pounded even if you lose. I like the low time limit, which encourages more aggressive play and a sense of urgency with the attacking team.

The last CP is definitely harder to cap than the first two, but so is cp_gravelpit. The nice thing about this map is that there is a definite advantage to holding out for a while on A and B, since it becomes very hard to take C with the reduced time. An aggressive team is rewarded with good time to take C and as long as they can shut down the close spawns, they'll have little problem with it.

Overall, I don't see any balance issues and enjoy this map.

No balance problems with the map, but i dont like it at all. Its entirely too cramped, and I always felt like i was running into a wall. The map also lends itself to a lot of spam since the doorways are fairly small and very easy to cover from almost anywhere in the CP rooms.

The one thing i do like about the map is right around the CPs themselves. Some of the structures surrounding the cap zone are pretty neat.

Id like to see this taken off the server. Tonight we ran over an evenly skilled team with nothing but medics and pyros. We capped all 3 CPs just about as fast as you could without any opposition. A good map has areas that suit different classes. Cramped areas for pyros, a sniper roost, etc. This map is ONLY cramped.

It may have been an evenly skilled team, but the map was totally new to me. I can't be too effective if I don't know anything about the territory. Lack of familiarity was probably the main reason for the loss. I played it twice tonight and had fun even though I was just running around lost. :mrgreen:

I don't really share everyone's hate for this map, but I have taken it out of the rotation for the time being due to frequent complaints.

Boo this man.

This is the map I meant to comment on before. It is cool, but very cramped. Snipers have no use and soldiers and spies are very limited.

It's a change of pace though. Maybe that's good to break up the monotony. Maybe we can throw it back in the rotation when we're all comfortable with the other maps.

Yeah I'd like to try it out some time on our server.
