I cannot in good faith recommend this map to servers anymore until the map is properly optimized. Detailing wise, the map is absolutely fantastic; It knows its environment very well, and to that I must give it credit for. Empire's gameplay is what I would call "passable." I think the most recent matches I've played in the map really show how badly the point can become an impenetrable fortress, and even cause spawncamping at times. It makes me really sad to say this in particular, as a month ago I was really interested in seeing this map in competitive Highlander, however with the recent tests I've noticed some major optimization issues, as well as gameplay issues. The spawn needs to be reverted back to how it was in the betas, where it was a neutral angle that allowed players real choice. I'm rating this a 6/10. Empire needs work
