Little side note: dont put periods for versions of versions, use alphabet, _a1b, _rc15z (crash) etc..
That middle area in general has some serious sightline issues. Snipers can completely dominate the middle 2/3s of the map. There's a little cover, sure, but there are still some areas where you can see too much.
Pictures please?
Sure thing.
Standing here, on the walkway:
I can see:
The door
The right side door to watch for flankers
And more than half the point, getting a glimpse of the enemy's sniper spot.
From the far left, just past the full health kit:
I can see:
More than half the enemy's courtyard
The door again
And a decent view of the point itself, especially the main entrance for both teams.
As for the door itself:
Yeah, that's almost the entirety of the enemy courtyard and the point under my eyes, not to mention I can clearly see if someone drops below me or tries to flank from the right side.

The doors itself is meant to be like that, while I'll add some LoS blockers, if you think about it you're very exposed and the closest packs would force you to walk for a good 15 seconds to get back up. And generally balancing that spot is going to be hard as I want it to be a way scouts can get on top of the point.
I'll look into fixing the other examples.
I've been testing with bots, but no humans
- Reduced the number of sight lines present
- Added lights to the linked buildings between spawn and the point

Moved the large hp kit down to the floor
Brightened up some buildings
Plugged the gap between the left buildings
More clipping
Fixed a sight line
Things to do:
Balance mid. I do not know how to discourage camping on the point.
Add height variation in courtyards
Thanks to everybody who tested during the US gameday on the 16th January

The best way to do this is really to make people not want to be there. You can do this by making it tactically bad to be there (in a ditch / lots of highground semi-nearby) or by not having so many pickups close by. If you make it tactically bad to be there though then it may discourage people from capping as well so you've got to get the balance right.
- Decreased the depth of the pit around the point, scouts can double jump out of it
- Reduced the size of the left hp pack to small
- Moved the hp packs to the left and right of the point into the pit, increased size to large
- Buildings between spawn and point now go all the way to the skybox
- Right path to the sniper perch placed inside a building
- Added an alternate route to the courtyard to the right that provides a height advantage
- Did some clipping on prop ramps...

Great stuff Sinchu, thanks for making these updates. What else do you have planned?
