cp_furnacreek_b1
But in all seriousness, the full name doesn't make it obnoxiously long, and it's not like it really makes a difference how long the file name is. So go with what makes the load screen title nicest!

You do also have to remember that we CAN'T have a second word without putting in the filename... making your reasoning pretty much invalid....

Do you really want to make things harder for server admins?
Keep it short. I played with a two word name and it just didn't stick in peoples' minds.
Seriously, do not, not not make it the long name.

I like Furnace
It's an interesting topic to me; what makes a good map name. It is the first impression you make on a player, after all.
I always thought they should be short, evocative, and iconic
Steel is probably the best map name imo
pl_molybdenum would not be...
(seriously, what's with the periodic table of elements approach lately?)

Furnace -> short, easy to remember
Any1 knows how badwater is badwater basin (and well (cp) and well (ctf)) on the loading screen? (hardcoded?)
Because my vote would be cp_furnace_b1 with Furnace Creek as loading text
(maybe when it's official (valve should stop ignoring youme's quality))

Keep it short, keep it simple. Bloating map names with words like "Creek/River/Valley" just makes it harder for admins to run the map and it distracts players from the unique part of the name you want people to identify.

It's hard coded. :thumbdown:
