I just love people saying "bah, it´s BS, i hate it with my full heart"...
i´m not saying people aren´t allowed to have such opinion, but:
A: Either you tell why it´s BS, or your opinion isn´t worth a penny
B: You need to backup your right for criticism by showing some of your work
C: I don´t know where that quote is from, but it kinda fits
"the louder someone shouts, the more you know he is wrong"
I´ve been in an arts forum for some years and really got sick of it, everyone took a handfull of honey and coated every piece of immature, unprofessional work with a thick crust of "WOW, thats unique and great". It was a horror.
As soon as i came in and layed down some profound critique, they all grouped together and got all defensive.
Point is, this forum is great and can handle criticism.
Point is, the banner might be smaller and concentrated to a single corner, but why do you bother with such a minimal matter
Point is, why not brand something you made when it´s a quality product. When i see a Youme map, i know what i´m getting. Why should it be an anonymous map?
That´s that

to the map:
I love the displacement work and the flow
but honey is pretty much useless for a mapper, so:
the flow of the map is great (for blu), but unfortunately thats due to the lack of real chokepoints, which bring the neccessary climax up and downs to a payload map.
The turns are imho too wide, too much room around it to make it complicated for blu
e.g. first cp, there is this looong big building at the right side, giving blu too much cover, too much space to setup a base if neccessary, its only a minor halt before the bomb moves on. I´d seal that off, although as red spy, i liked this building, because it was easy to get behind blu, way too easy.
make some passages tighter and slim down the road to give red a chance
the last point makes defending hard, because there is only a few good spots for sentries,
and those can be easily dismanteled by a good demo or far away soldier
i believe that a more massive building here would make another good shelter for reds sentries.. the broken control room can be too easily taken a only servers blu as cover
