It has become a engineers-map. Three cooperating engineers can push the enemy way back if the team supports them as they build.
I even managed as engineer to build a forward base 3rd level high wooden part part between (normally) cap4 and cap5, thanks to the new stairs.

Well I quite enjoyed playing on it, I love Well as a CP and playing as a CTF was new and interesting, infact I was having loads of fun because I found a great way to sneak past the other team and nick their intel, this would have never worked in the CP version.
However
Its just poor because we really expect more from valve, they have had months to chnage it to a CTF and it looks like they spent a day doing it. A n00b with a decompiler could have done just as well, which is the main poblem.

I'm loving ctf_well. It's much more fun to extract the intel from the enemy base, and attacking / defending are much more separated, leading to a larger variety of CTF playstyles.
Map does seem rushed; it's certainly different than Valve's usual design process. That's no reason to get angry, though. Valve is clearly showing interest in maintaining the TF2 community.

I've played it a few times now on different servers. It's funny, but now with CTF, I see much more the resemblance between the TF2 Well to the TFC Well.
The good:
+ Engineers must be more clever in placing sentry guns
+ Open spaces and multiple accesses give the Scout a good advantage
+ Lots of hiding spots for the spy
+ Multiple sniping spots
+ Small corridors in the bases helps the Pyro
+ Distance between bases make good teleporters invaluable
The Bad:
+ The neutral building is too vast.
+ Open spaces and large distances make it hard to be an offensive Pyro or HWG.
+ The water ways are questionable. If you could still somehow sneak into the enemy base using the water ways, it would redeem it.
+ I kind of miss the trains.
I'm unsure if I prefer CP_Well or CTF_Well at this point. It's a nice alternative to 2Fort.
That's my 2 cents, anyway.

Yeah my first experience with it was bad
But I tried it a few more times & it was more fun, mainly because we had a lot more engis making teleporters and defending areas of the map, which made it more fun.
Same as almost most any map, depends on who your playing with i guess.

Lol, my girlfriend found a shit load a graphics bugs in this map, including some props sticking up through the floors, overlapping geometry and mistextured geometry in the modified areas. This was definitely a rushed map.

I played it recently, I think it may not be that bad, but what I find the most exploitable is the 2 health pack standing on both bases catwalk. You just stand there and do a mess in their base while constantly recovering health, and in this case spies are kinda useless if you're good at crushing disguise. I think I got like 16 Heavy kills in a row last night before a demoman stop me.
Although I must admit I had a blast playing spy today, I got injured and rant over their base as a Heavy, I called for medic when another row of heavy + medic pass in front of me, I just killed them both and ran away from the medic who healed me.
