Been messing around with a 5cp map idea for a little while now. Decently happy where it's at design wise at this point, interested to hear what people think.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain....
Lot of dev happening the past week after the map showcase. All chronicled on stream / tf2maps.net if you're interested.

These are my thoughts after just running around the map for a while, so take it with a grain of salt
((I didn't check any timings or forward spawn positions or stuff like that))
Positives:
- I think the last is very interesting, especially with all the entrances. It could potentially be really fun to play on.
- The lobby layout is really well designed imo, every part connects to each door to last and each door to second which will definately make backcap
- The flank that goes "under" choke is really cool and such paths are underused in this game in my opinion
- Mid has a lot of potential, it looks really interesting
Criticisms: (in no certain order)
The light_env is very... orange? distracting imo:
https://i.imgur.com/c8Lgg6x.jpg
To avoid monstrocities like this...:
https://i.imgur.com/0ZTOcBF.jpg
you can probably just raise the ceiling of the MIDDLE lobby area (others I think are fine as they are maybe):
https://i.imgur.com/7XAWsSB.jpg
this position may be a bit too strong for holding last:
https://i.imgur.com/ioKB1B5.jpg
this position may be a bit too strong for holding 4th:
https://i.imgur.com/q6WOZDS.jpg
this flank (all of it) has some bad, unfun geometry and seems to be a bit too tight really:
https://i.imgur.com/PaMyHMJ.jpg
i think it's going to be impossible to push into mid from choke since a sniper can fuck you completely from these 3 angles:
https://i.imgur.com/YNm0IqE.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/5Sb6996.jpg
this sniper angle denies the 2 best ways to push into 2nd with (because of the other flank that I mentioned earlier):
https://i.imgur.com/ZrHIkk2.jpg
these 2 also contribute to making it hard 2 push choke:
https://i.imgur.com/E91QpXt.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/80kGvfO.jpg
i think there might not be any "good" position for a combo to hold choke with: (which may not necessarily be a problem? eg process)

not sure i agree with health packs this close to the fighting area (and also the cap itself):

on last, the low ground entrance is a little like cardinal last. and in my experience that area of cardinal is dead space that no one really bothers with because it's too big of a disadvantage to be down there. maybe consider making it more like snakewater's low entrance, where you can still push in through it at least occasionally.
on second, that battlements/sniper spot on the top left of defense can watch far right, the low entrance from mid, and the left path to the point. seems too strong, especially because it's hard to bomb (you can skip across top of point pretty easily but the sniper can also duck into the tunnel). a small adjustment to an existing fence would block the lower sightline.
i like lobby a lot. i think it would look better if the left and right ramps up from lower weren't symmetrical.
i got the overall impression there were slightly too many ways to get everywhere. especially around mid.
you can stand on the barbed wire fence on two. dunno if you intended that or not.
the demo rollouts have a lot of potential.
high ground on two seems too strong. a soldier can sit up there, spam every entrance. scout can deny bombs. also, there are several places you can stand as demo where you can see your traps on all four paths from mid to two, including some opportunities for deep traps. i feel like most maps punish demos for watching deep traps by forcing them to overextend a bit, but this one doesn't.
one of the entrances into last should have a shutter.
*take this with a grain of salt; i just jumped around for a while, haven't played on the map.

(thanks for the feedback everyone, I looked into making the ramps in lobby non-symmetrical... going to take more of a rework than just a quick move because of how the ramps line up towards underneath / vertical clearance. Maybe later if it's a big deal)

If you're going to keep the lighting, I'd love to see an evening theme. Streetlights and such would be cool (as long as ut's optimized). I'll see about getting it played in some inhouses for testing.

Would appreciate it. We've been playing inhouses and working through it and getting great feedback so far. Theme is pretty much wide open at this point, no clue how it will end up. Whatever the theme / lighting situation ends up being, it's going to be good for 6v6 - typically night maps / snowy maps don't usually work out well from what I recall, so it's probably going to be daytime.

Snowy only is bad because people think it drops frames when it's just the weather effects.

This spot isn’t actually as practical to use for scouts as it might seem; we have playtested this version of the map (a5) 12-13 times and the consensus is that the middle is very balanced for scouts and soldiers. Never actually seen a scout use this jump properly to great effect but it is a fun little skill jump for other classes :)

Trying out a dusk / swamp theme so far. Nowhere near final, but wanted to make it easier to distinguish areas so here's textures.
Changes other than visuals:
-added another small box so all classes can climb the boxes at last
-added some fences on last to block the sightline from left spawn towards lobby
-added some props / geometry in the passageway behind last point
-added some arches and props at the right side of the last point
-adjusted the height on right side of last
-made forward spawn at 2nd point a lot bigger and adjusted spawn points and door trigger size

Thanks for the feedback. Will be digging into that soon.
For now, here's a hot-hotfix of b6 now called b6fl with better lighting on 2nd point.
