A quick run through.
-both entrances from spawn are right next to each other
-all 3 chokes (right outside of spawn) start and nearly end at the same height, are about the same size, and function nearly identical to each other.
-lack of sightline cover on mid. It's important to create very distinct sight lines, especially on mid. Think above and bellow badlands mid bridge, low ground and high ground on gullywash, even the hill on viaduct works as a sight line blocker because you never really want to stand in the middle during a mid fight.
-scaling and ramp incline on most of the map

Every entrance should act as a unique path for players. Some should end on high ground, some should begin, some should lead to chokes, others to open areas. You want just as much strategic variety as possible so combo has a reason to push one choke over another. Ask yourself: are there 2-3 unique paths for the combo to push from area to area? If they push on the left do they end up in the same place as if they push through the middle? You want as much variety as possible.

By the way maps in the map pool are by no means perfect. Figure out what works and what doesn't.

Please make the ground flat and not like a hill, it's so annyoing to shoot rockets/ctap on that

There is reason why 5cp is most dominant gamemode in 6s.
Most of koth maps are ultimate dm fest, which makes game unfun to play and watch, as well sniper having insane impact on koth, especially on viaduct. Another major problem is that viaduct is only good koth map, and it's hard to make good koth map without ripping viaduct off.

idk about you but i think viaduct is one of the most fun maps to watch

its just hard to cast or understand if you are new

if yung metro dont trust you ...

Just played this 7v7 on the TF2maps servers.

- The point doesn't unlock.
- The areas are too connected, the different entrances don't feel like they lead to separate push areas, just one main hallway.
- The point area and geometry is underscaled as hell, making soldier and scout too powerful.
- The spawn is terrible, look at how Viaduct constructs its courtyard.

Edit: Not exactly sure why I am being downvoted, this is actual feedback from playtesting.

I have a love hate with it. As a newer caster, I find the hard part of casting it is that there is no time for an analysis, and there's no good gap to hand off to the other caster, as the next push happens so quickly. This results in less experienced casters talking for a long time, and can make the co caster feel like he's not even there, which is why 5cp is preferred. 5cp plays to the analyst role, as generally there's time between pushes to talk about what happened and what will happen. With that said, some of the most highlight reel games ive done were Viaduct.

i think the one thing that should be distinctly different from viaduct is that the point shouldn't be a great place to defend from, i think it would change the style of play significantly and would be cool to see attackers with a good advantage instead of just sac'ing into turtle defense

Taking into account all the feedback from here, TF2Maps, and friends, I've made a number of significant changes.

DAT remake, really nice. I'll edit this post with crits tonight after we playtest.

the yard area is coming along beautifully. I think mid still needs some work

but I'm not a mapper

edit: also a city theme would be fucking awesome
