First off, may I say that I'm extremely glad someone took some initiative and made this map.

Now that that's out of the way, your map needs a LOT of work. Firstly, the spawns really need to either be moved or you need to cover the line of sight between them; it makes camping far too easy.

Another HUGE problem with the map is that for some reason you can clip into the carts if you get in front of them. This is a problem because it's a common Heavy strategy and you can't do it on here because you get stuck in the cart. Even worse, if you manage to do it on the top or bottom of the ramp you actually get stuck. FIX THIS.

Now, on the good side of the spectrum, this map is DAMN FUN. Despite it's glaring flaws, it's incredibly enjoyable and it really brings out the best in many classes. Even though linear combat (Fighting enemies in a close-range to mid-range scenario in a line) really doesn't match the whole feel of TF2, you managed to pull it off correctly.

Oh, and the Dispensers are BRILLIANT! I never thought of anything remotely like that, and it should be in more maps. I see a lot of fights break out around the dispensers, despite the carts also dispensing ammo and health. It's possible to upgrade them and they act like standard dispensers with metal limits, but I'm not sure if that's intentional.

Great concept, but definitely needs a good deal of work before it's perfect.

GREEN IZ BEST

Played this tonight with a handful of people on each team. I had a reasonably fun time on it, but think you need to make some important changes:

1. Better clipping on the cart so people don't get stuck.
2. More protected spawns. Spawn camping is a big issue. Add a building in between that part of the tracks and force people to move straight left or straight right out of their spawn. Make the spawn door a normal wide door so it's easier to avoid spam when it opens.
3. When the track is passing right next to the wall near the end, move the wall further out to give room around the cart.
4. Reward a team for reaching each checkpoint, like a forward spawn (would require spawns to be up the hill) or reduced spawn times.

Anyone suggesting this is similar to pl_waste hasn't played both of them. In addition, this is functionally different than Valve's art since the tracks go the same way in this map. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing... it's just different. Protecting the spawns becomes very important, though.

In addition, leave the HUD as it is now. When the official hud comes out, try making use of that. But don't listen to the people suggesting that you use one of the race map huds, since those are totally glitchy. You could hide the hud and try making use of custom in-game overlays to show where the cart is (make a texture for a sign outside spawn and move a decal on it or something). Overall I think you should just wait for the official hud.

Nice work overall.
