No, you were not hallucinating that, the cart just sort of anti-climactically falls onto a roof that's maybe a few feet below where the cart was pushed off at the end.

No I was not, but without knowing it was eventually going to blow the whole building up it just looked really weird and lazy.

I don't think what the bomb does when the round ends really matters at all. It's a visual thing at best and dwelling on this subject is killing the thread. Please consider the fact that this is a first alpha and the bomb is pretty much the least important detail right now.
I think you should descale it a bit, and make it multiple stages... you said that it took place in 4 locations, might as well combine 2 and use the 3 you know have to make it multi-stage.
Honestly, I did find it kinda fun, took a little while to get use to... but fun.

I like your map!
I just downloaded it and ran through it quickly and I agree with what has been said about the long sight lines. Maybe throw in a few more wall bends or some obstacles just so you don't have to redo most of the map. Other then that, here's a quick list of stuff I noticed to help you make it better (or to ignore, lol)
-I liked the "progression" from the outdoors area that was the Blu side to the Red acid pit. Well done!
-This map looks very difficult for Blu to win. I noticed that they are almost always much closer to a Red spawn than their own and almost always in a compromised position, whether it be entering a long hallway that Red has had time to set up on or whether it is being lower than Red without any way to get up to their level.
-The first Red hallway's far end (the payload entrance) is very dark
-In the maze of stairs that run alongside the track (roughly from Blu's 2nd spawn position on down to the bottom) there are areas under stairs that are very dark. Also, the sheer number of stairs is a little much. Maybe one long stair or maybe shorten up the vertical distance.
-Acid rocks. Well done.
Really small things: I thought I saw the cart separate from the track when it was going down the massive decline after the first or second point. Also, the skybox boundary was visible over the gray wall in the Blu area. Finally, the rock displacements in Blu are very awkward when you jump higher then them and look down and see a lot of open nothingness. I understand it's an alpha build but thought I'd say something anyway.
Overall great start! Some serious changes are needed for the sniping lanes, but other then that this looks like it has serious promise.

This seems promising. Reminds of Min(...) woops I did it again.

Yay! Don't know if I'll be able to play it on gameday, but I'll DL it and do a run through when I get sometime.

Looks interesting. I don't really favour the single stage format that Badwater took, but that doesn't mean this won't be fun to play. I can see it's a rough sketch so I don't feel these much critique I can give because most of my points you probably plan to sort out anyway. But keep going with it because you've obviously done a ton of work already

This means a lot coming from you, void. Thanks
And thanks to the rest of you as well, of course.
Besides what I said during the test today--
The curve around the radioactive tank sucks; it's easily spammable and maybe too long, I don't know. If there was a path like 1/3 the way up that I could use to get on/off or something, or just a little cubby, that'd help. The space around the tank was also too huge.
Also I got stuck between the cart and this displacement, as seen in this killcam

Yeah, I'm going to be rethinking CP4 a lot very soon. I want to keep the general aesthetic, but it does need some work. I think my main problem is that I stuck very closely to my drawn out plans instead of going with my gut when I was making it.
Anyway, thanks for the input, I'm going to be posting A2a today as to fix some nagging issues with A2 and then A3 should be out in a week or so.

CHANGES:
Added a barrier in front of blue spawn.

Added some setup doors between CP2 and CP3. Some open when CP1 is taken, others open when CP2 is taken.
Added some higher ground to CP3.
Modified the stairs by CP3 to be less confined.
Added an additional door between CP3 and CP4 that opens when CP3 is taken. Allows attackers easier access to mid ground.

I swear to god I thought that said B2. I flipped my shit. I ran out on the streets, trying to bring myself back together. Some good samaritan asked me what was wrong, I told him he wasn't real and I punched him square between eyes.
Right between the fucking eyes.
Some chick sippin' on coffee across the street called the cops on me for whatever reason. I told her to shut the fuck up, then I drank the rest of her coffee right in front of her.
The cops arrived and tried to calm me down. I told them I was dreaming, they weren't real, Corrode went to B2 - they were not real. One of the pigs threw some tear gas at me. I picked it up and sucked all the tears out of it, then crushed the canister they were in.
Then the cops shot me. Fucking pigs. One of them got me in the arm. Then another shot - to the head. Then I realized, this wasn't a dream... just a misunderstanding. Corrode didn't go into its second beta... that was just the download for the BZ2 file. But it was too late. I was now full of bullets, and died on the scene.
And that, kids, is why you should all learn to read. Stay in school!
