    It's labeled as RC3 because I don't want to end up naming it 'final' then decide that I want to make some modifications and naming it something silly like v2.

    Only thing that could make th is better at this point is an update for the official KOTH mode :D

    Also, I have been curious: why is it "RC 3" if it's "final"?

    I think it's fair to say that this map plays best with 12 players (6 v 6). =)

    Posted by AaronG The doors should be fixed in RC3! In the closed beta the trigger for the door was set so it would open/close "OnStartTouch". Now it's set to "OnStartTouchAll" which allows the door to open and close ONLY when everybody has left the trigger.

    Awesome :D

    Pros: Well thought out layout of the map. Great area's for battles with all classes. Lighthouse is well positioned, not too easy to defend which promotes a more free game instead of a camp fest. Details well done and sea side sounds are a great addition to the map. Cons: The map is a bit pyro friendly. I am not sure how it could be changed though. Spawn door doesn't open if it closes after a player gets out. So if you run behind a team m8 and the door closes before you get there it doesn't open again for you. You need to go back before it opens :( Improvements: Fix the spawn doors. Notes: Love the KOTH game mode. Should definitely be added to TF2 as an official game mode.
