A KOTH Map for tf2 where both teams have to try to get at the top of the hill
Change Log from RC1 to RC2
-Big fps boost. -Added more lights in some areas of the map. -Centered the door in the spawn. -Changed the ammo pack from small to medium under the bridge. -Added more detail to the outside area of the map. -Fixed alignment on some textures. -Removed the ramps around the control point so only demos/sollys can get up there now. -Fixed a few other visual glitches as well.
Pros: I really like the 2nd base of the building because its up high. Cons: I think you need to remove the stairs going up to the 2nd floor because its OP atm. Improvements: Remove the stairs to the 2nd floor and the health pack up there/ Notes: nice work dude.

Playtested tonight, on a 12v12 vanilla server.
Pros : Nice setting - quite classical but effective. Point quite stands out, thanks to displacement work
Cons : Allmost everyone complained that the point is too exposed. Sure there are many direction of attack possible but a groupe of demomen/soldiers/heavies on the point is almost unbeatable. Tried as engineer and could build an early flanking sentry but it wasn't of much use. Other buildings were unmakables since the area surrounding the CP asks for patrolling scouts and pyros.
You provided cover, but as isolated elements they don't play a huge role besides softening sniper pressure.
How to improve : if you want to go to the "hill" way, you must shorten the distance when incoming player becomes targetable and probably shorten the capture time as well. If you want to make the point less exposed, you'd probably have to rethink the surrounding. Gives enginner and ambushing classes some zone to rest. The little buildings on the side are too isolated to play a major role in the battle, as players told me.
