Quagmire

Quagmire final

I played this years ago with bots (not much choice otherwise) and found it fun, creative, and inspiring for my own swamp map. A swamp by its nature tends to be flat, but Quagmire demonstrates how to keep a swamp's atmosphere while keeping vertical structures to make combat exciting. My favorite example being BLU's first spawn with stilt houses, wooden platforms, and steep wooden stairs, surrounded by water.

It combines practicality with the "spice" of a swamp theme with plenty of creative efforts by indulging the swamp pack assets rather than sprinkling it in. The custom grass sprite edit was a nice touch as well, adding dimension that I think should have been included to begin with in the pack.

Overall, I found the map an exotic visual treat while being great fun to play on, and I applaud the effort made towards Quagmire.
