Gameday bump! I didn't make it, but what did you think of the map? The new stage, did you like it? Hints, tips, <3s, ...?

The running joke was "needs more corn"
"I was told there would be corn"
etc.
Seriously, though, I thought it played pretty good
First stage: I didn't much like the two gates facing eachother. One team spams the other inside, and it turns into a camping situation while they cap. There are other paths available, maybe make them more prominent, or more obvious? The other option would be to widen that gate, and maybe put some cover between them, to block the sniper spam...
Second stage: I really like it. Actually feels like a race! (unlike pipeline imo)

The new stage seemed a little too big/open to me. As Sniper/Demoman you were able to shoot into the other teams' setup area too; if I were no shoddy Sniper I could probably have killed some fully charged Medics. It's not too bad as the areas you can hit are quite small so you can leave it in, just not fully sure you know about it.
One team (mine of course) got steamrolled quite badly, on both stages. It seemed spawncamping while having two or three players at the cart was the winning strategy, so either move the spawn rooms back or make alternative routes more obvious/viable.

Small bump, I'm currently working on the last stage again, to fix the long sightline problem a bit, and make the beginning a bit more attractive. Hope to get it ready for a gameday test this weekend 
Edit: Oh, and here's a screenshot for y'all:

Nice map. I've got two things, though.

This door goes through the roof. It's outside a spawn...possibly the second stage.

I'm on RED, but I see the respawn room visualizers for my respawn. I can go through them, but they're there.

Yeah. I didn't get what he meant at first while playing, like if he experienced the opening like a closed areaportal or something, then I figured :3

ALPHA 3a IS OUT!
I had some tests with a3, but it had some sneaky bugs so I didn't release it, but hey! Here's a3a!
What's changed:
- Players can now (rocket)jump over the setup exit in stage 2.
- Fixed the spawndoor bug in stage 2.
- Added a custom explosion particle + sound.
- Added several other custom particles.
- Changed a lot to the middle of the final stage.
- Made the tracks cross in the final stage.
- Detailed both spawns in the final stage.
- Added a full health and full ammo to the center building in the final stage.
- I think that's all for now..
Right, here are some screenshots for you:

Enjoy! I hope to get it on a gameday this weekend or the next.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I didn't change any playerclips in s3...

Clip this off. It's annoying as hell to get stuck on.
Is this intended?
Overlay alignment! D:
Also, there isn't a func_respawnroom on the 3rd stage at least for RED meaning that you can't change class without dieing first. Oh, and enemies can get inside the spawns on Stage 2 due to the lack of respawn visualisers.

I like the idea of the long hill chokepoint, i think you should keep it but you might need to rework those areas a little as they get very spammy. But we always managed to get up the hill.

Just played it for the first time at game day and wanted to share my thoughts.
I like the pace of the map in general, it is very fast and I never once saw it turn into a grindfest like can happen on most PLR maps.
The first point felt a little bit weird, the tracks weren't intertwined at all, as well as setting up defenses was hard as you don't have access to where the other team is going. I do like the general layout though of a +, where you really have to choose whether to attack or defend.
For the second stage, for the love of all things holy, please fix the respawn room visualized. Blu could get people into Reds spawn and it kinda became a meat grinder where red would spawn and just die.
The point at the end could use a little more in terms of walk ways as it is hard to stand by the cart to push it in.
The noise at the end is funny at first, but gets old REALLY quickly. Also, it really doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the TF2 sounds.
All in all though I really like it, definitely one of my favorite PLR maps so far.
