Changelog:
+ Added a fence underneath the right bridge outside BLU spawn.

* Moved the second checkpoint up the stairs of the temple entrance.
* Redesigned RED spawn.
* Changed a path leading out from the warehouse.
* Redesigned the area with the large health and ammo packs.
- Physics have been found to agitate the payload cart, and have therefore been disabled for your safety.

I quite like how this looks, I might have to finally jump back into a TFMaps event to try it. I'll run around and see if there is any feedback I can think up.

EDIT: After running around the map, I don't have a ton to say.

But I think the main problem I can see is that it feels a bit cramped in some of the buildings. Mainly some of the side paths that go through the central structure are really, really cramped. That's just asking for a Demoman to shut out everyone.

This update primarily revolves around reworking the flow through the map to make it easier for BLU to attack, but also more fun for RED to defend.

Changelog:
+ Added a few doors that opens and close depending on wether or not the first checkpoint is captured.
* Reworked the area where the payload leaves the warehouse.
* Moved the first checkpoint back into the warehouse where it belongs.
- Broke down the walls, and the roof, of the room next to the side arena to make it more open.
+ Added some detailing to the room next to the aforementioned room.
+ Added a window between the main warehouse and that room.
+ Added a tower to block a sniper sightline, which I was aware of, I just didn't think any snipers could actually get up on that rock.
+ Added another super-sneaky stealth gibus.

I liked the layout when we were playtesting today; good spots to make / destroy sentry nests, at least for the first point. Big issue for the second point, though, was the high ground. Too easy for BLU to get up there, and offers way too much of an advantage once up there. If that area gets mitigated, it might overall feel way better.
