KotH Jolt V12 Fixed

Jolt - A different sort of KOTH map.

A small KOTH map designed for 6v6, where forward holds are discouraged due to the separation of the back areas, and the multiple entrances into mid. Shallow water in lower mid will allow for escapes from fights taking place above, as well as provide a boost for jumping. Rollouts are extremely important, as a fast team can easily take advantageous positions before the other team steps into mid if they are too slow. When defending, knowing where the enemy is at all times is vastly more important than in other KOTH maps, as a sneaky team could completely flank a defending team that isn't paying attention. However, holding all the entrances can spread the team thin if done wrong.

Hopefully, the layout will allow for more strategy then in the DM centered games of conventional KOTH maps.

Updates from V10 to V11:
-changed the cap point
-Changed the crates from under the cap to ramps
-smoothed out a couple corners
-raised the "Dingleberry", and changed its health pack to a medium
-changed some of the cover on upper
-lowered one of the glass boxes to create another path under the point.

I don't feel as if having a large health kit over mid that is accessible only to jumpers is a good idea. Generally pickups should be able to be gotten by all classes and large kits shouldn't be quite so near to the point (less than a second away).

The reason i put that kit there was yo gove some incentive to go up there, and to have a thing for jumpers to fight over. It also allows for a variety of jumps to be done without too much risk, andin precipis playtests it wasnt game breaking.

Also the cap area for mid looks quite small, is it two layered like gullywash? because it looks like it might be. And, in that lower pit under the point it appears as if to get out you have to do 4 jumps, including 2 crouch jumps. Nobody likes jumping, you are vulnerable and it is repetitive.

Im defenitely going to redo the cap zone. It is by far the most critisized feature of the map.

Sorry if you got multiple notifications for this. I screwed up the download link and basically screwed up trying to update the thread in general.
