What is it about this map that no one ever comments about it? I've had 0 input from tf2m and it's really very strange
It's indeed strange because I've had really fun the times I've played this.
It's a new gamemode, people might be a little reserved to comment on something they don't have all the facts about.
The combination of 'playtime needed' and 'available servers with players' might be the big issue here. Because the only server I know of that plays athropy is 2f2f (and with such a massive rotation it's hard to catch it).

None of us have played it. Its not in the gameday events which is when a lot of us play.

It's all about the timing. It's not in gameday and we're not running gamedays right now.
I'll try playing this (On a server other than 2f2f, unless they have a smaller player size rotation server, in which hot damn hit me up with the IP). It has been kinda strange that mangy's map isn't getting attention though. Normally it's filled to the brim with pages.

Thanks for the comments!
I obviously want it in on a gameday but I finished detailing as the contest ended, so there aren't any gamedays available, and when there are, I've never been quick enough to get my map in
Screenshot 5's cp, A, can be very difficult to capture at times, but since the point has a lot of height advantage over the surrounding area, I didn't feel cover was necessary. I'm also going for a different feel to each point; A is all about height layers, C is about using cover wisely, and B is kind of a standard dustbowlish scenario with a tough to penetrate area and an easily seen point.
However, if we see that A is consistently too hard, I can definitely add cover of some sort.
Usually I don't ask for many aesthetic tips, but since this was a new theme to try, I'd like any and all commentary/screenshot paintovers and stuff to help polish it up to tf2-level detail. The spawn rooms definitely need a second detail pass.

I got stuck in the bridge at A for some odd reason, I was just walking along across the bridge, planning to drop down to the ledge and grab the health. But mid air I somehow got stuck in the bridge.

Hrm. Others have mentioned this before, I'll clip it - thanks.
Now to figure out the "beat the map" bug and why respawns are so fucked up!

I noticed this today playing on the TF2Maps US server:
I got stuck in this spot as a soldier, between the stairs and the tree outside the RED BC teleport exit, and had to rocketjump to escape. I didn't try to replicate it, so it may have been a one-time thing, but it seems like the less mobile classes could get stuck there with no way out short of class-swapping or suiciding.
Overall experience on the map was positive. Game type is unique, Central American ruins-style executed well.

Many of the cliff walls need clipping.

Other map boundaries do as well.

That texture is just so eww. Unless it's dramatically better on a computer with high settings, I'd suggest fixing it up.

If I try to walk up to the point at that angle, I'll get stuck.

Same here.
