cp_notice_a3 is now out! Thanks to everyone who playtested the map.
This version will hopefully address some of the more egregious issues encountered during the playtest. The spawn times have been fixed (sorry about that), and BLU's forward spawns are no longer one-way.
Some small tweaks have been made in response to some potential layout issues shown during the playtest, but I've decided to wait for a second playtest before doing any major changes, since the first was marred by the long respawn times and very unbalanced teams.
Full changelog:
