peak (working title)

stv from a pug tonight. You can get on top of the left side of the house on the right on both sides of the map. You should probably widen the choke on that right side house too, it can be really hard to push out of that since it's so easy to spam.

One problem mentioned with the map was that it was really hard to retake the point, I'm not sure how you can fix this without really overhauling the map; widening that choke I mentioned would help some, but it's really easy to shut down the left side of the map when you hold the point and that's kind of the best route to push. If you push right, it's pretty easy to get spammed early since there's no real roof there, but putting a roof there would let you get too close to the point before there's a threat.

Idk, I usually have fun with the map, as do most people that play it. I think widening that choke on the right would really help though, or just revert it back to the way it was before you put that house there, idk.

Yah, I agree with wax on the right side house you built being way to chokey. Really hard to push out there, you feel like your getting spammed and flanked before you can even move out.

One thing you might want to consider: how about making the garage door room extend out to the wall that is like half built. It seems a bit weird that as I push out to the point, i have to hang a hard right and then another hard left to get to the area around the base of the little hut. It might be cool if I could push straight forward and then choose left or right, like towards the medium health pack or towards the hut. Combos would almost always go right, scouts would go left, but you would have some addiotional flexibility. You'd have to close up the half built walls and such, but I think that could work a bit better than what you have right now.

Okay, so basically, instead of having that garage door room hang a hard right, have it exit out into that area right there. Get rid of the hole in the wall (maybe move it over or to some other part of the map, cuz it does look pretty cool) and then have exits on the right and left. You'll probably have to make that area a little larger, so players have a bit of room to move around when they get out of the garage, and also be mindful of sniper sightlines and such, but I think that would help make pushing out of that area a bit more variable, and a bit easier to push forward without being spammed out in a choke.

From the perspective in the screenshots, the left exit would probably need some walls up around it as well, to cut off a sightline to the door from the hut or the bridge. You could just extend the roof above the garage area over to the left and then throw another doorframe in there to break up the sightlines. You would also get rid of the longer hut section on the right, so that players come out more immediately into the hill.

I wouldn't tinker with the spawn times. Even if you could get slightly better play out of the map by having them adjusted, I think that the disadvantage of having the map play out slighlty differently than other accepted koth maps ultimately isn't worth it.
