Also, because those screenshots aren't up to date, and because this is not an a1, I'll repost the changelog for a2:

Decided to make a thread for this at the same time I made one on the beta RGL forums.

Used to be cp_bluff, decided to take it back into my hands more than a year later.
Current version: A2
Screenshots are in the tf2maps thread (though they're not quite up to date yet)

website seems to be having cloudflare issues or something, not sure if it affects everyone or just some people

funny you say that, mikro also made a thread on tf2m on how he got it all to work

THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE

just have a nearly endless loop of granary/gullywash dropdown combos that end with a vent dropdown into the intel room of pro turbine, where you can never leave because you've fallen into hell

probably because the smiley face links to a scam website

Updated to B1. There was also an A5 and A6 that got updated too rapidly to update properly on the tf2maps page.

A lot of stuff changed from A4 to B1, including new routes, new forward spawn exits, a bunch of minor geometry tweaks, and, of course, beginning detailing, including a dope aurora particle in the skybox thanks to exactol/fubar.

1. The original reason for the one-way shutter was because, in previous testing, without the shutter being there, the enemy team would frequently abuse the stairway room. So far it's the most eloquent way I could think of (for now) to make the stair rooms far more oriented towards the team that side of the map belongs to.
2. Fair enough. I noticed that some of the routes out of the team houses weren't used very often as well, which may or may not contribute to that feeling, not entirely sure myself.
3. Testing seemed to show the mid being very back and forth across practically every version. I can see where you're coming from though due to the point being indoors and there being a lot of small doorways and passages. Almost 0 good koth maps have indoor mids with highground that close to the objective. There's been practically no precedent for a good indoor koth point yet, so who knows?
4. The reason for the eight or so entrances into the mid room (and the highround/point setup) was my attempt to circumvent the problems that typically plague indoor koth mids. Maps like Suijin and Harvest have incredibly claustrophobic mid rooms with highground that is either difficult to access or easy to control by the team that owns the point, and very few entrances, leading to some serious chokes. I did the aforementioned things in hopes of giving both teams a fair chance of manipulating the highground regardless of who owns the point and to eliminate some of the chokiness/claustrophobia. Seems however that I might not have it up to par just yet.

I see where you're coming from with a lot of those points and partially agree with some of them, the above is just my explanations for why the map is currently how it is (and how it will end up is always subject to change).

Kinda piggybacking off of Hyce when I say this, but I'd love to hear what the folks at ETF2L thought of Ordinance during the pre-season cup.

Updated to A4, new screens and changelog on TF2Maps: https://tf2maps.net/downloads/bluff.7344/

you should borrow yrzzy's ring capture point hologram for that new mid since the point hologram would be hidden by the water tank
looks fantastic so far otherwise

Updated to A3a, where the connecting ramp in the last lobby is now wider, so you can use it without triggering the shutter door nearby.
