Slagfall was a 3-CP, though I dropped out the contest, so guess it doesn't matter much

Welcome to the club :jimijam:

The 3CP mapping meta should eventually prevent this stalematey-ness. I want to redo my map from scratch once the judging passes.

I personally should've reduced the cap times on the last points and scaled downwards throughout the map.

3p is a pretty flawed gamemode above anything other than 6v6. Too bad too because a lot of these maps are fun to play on.
I think the main problem is that they cant have the buffer zone that 5cp has without making it stalemate city like Powerhouse has, ultimately only two choke points. Its either a stalemate or a roll. The only time i have ever seen it sway is when the winning team gets scrambled and the best heavy/soldier players get on the losing side.
Another problem with this is that the gamemode doesn't exactly transition smoothy into 5cp or koth so you cant salvage good map design easily and throw it into another gamemode.

Honestly I don't think its the gamemode, but more that the level design for 3CP is approached in the same way as 5CP, with a hard to push last.

I think that it was really noticeable in cp_tidewater that the final point was fairly easy to cap, even if only a few people assaulted it. This kept the map from stalemating, but there was still a lot of to and fro across mid.

TL: DR Tidewater's mid is sort of stalematey and it's last is easy to attack, and it made 3CP really fun
