Umm...if I can nominate my on map, I guess I'll nominate cp_vulture_a4.
ohhh, if only you had given a link. Looks like someone is going to be at the bottom of the map rotation!

You never know....there's no accounting for taste D: Thanks for submitting, hope to see you there.

I assumed you could take a look in the downloads section yourself. It's only on the second page, after all. But here it is:

Yeah, I took care of it. Thanks for all the extra work
Looking forward to this tomorrow....gotta set up the server for it tonight. I've decided to copy the current configuration into 1 folder, make a copy of it, change and rename the copy...then ftp it over and cross my fingers. If it works dragging and dropping configs for special events will be handy in the future

CURRENT RATINGS
I'm going to leave the rotation as is for a while. I'd feel more comfortable if I could get at least 10 ratings for each map. Meanwhile, VIP's will have their !map abilities restored, and nominate/rtv will be re-enabled.
- cp_castle4 3.8 (15 ratings)
- cp_aqua - 3.67 (12 ratings)
- cp_boulder_v5 - 3.5 (8 ratings)
- cp_vulture_a4 - 3.44 (18 ratings)
- cp_beamvalley_v2 - 3.14 (7 ratings)
- cp_ramrod_rc4 - 2.87 (23 ratings)
- cp_bloodstained - 2.71 (24 ratings)

its even more disappointing when you buy a server with the intent of creating a attack and defend dustbowl style server, and then realize this <_<
i miss progress being made on siege
It also makes you realize how hard it is to play new maps or even get people interested in them.
Look at the top scores.
Castle 4 (which I like, but its overplayed, maybe I've just played it too much)
Aqua (see above comment)
newer maps....
Are people really afraid to try something new?

Castle is a spamfest, yes. But Aqua has an über-fortified final point which makes 3-3 results much too common (also some people are annoyed by the HDR on white lamps in numerous places, personnally I'm not but I've heard this complaint more than once). Boulder's rounds are stretched too long, which makes for tedious walks for every second cap, and 1-1 scores when there are six points to cap don't please anybody on the server. Vulture can't be entered into a regular server rotation due to alpha textures.
So in the end, Castle4 may be a spamfest, but if you want a custom multi-stage A/D map there really isn't that much choice. I'm eagerly awaiting for Vulture to reach beta status - for now, we don't have any multi-stage CP besides Dustbowl (we have Gydan and Broma as single-stage though).

I came out of this hating aqua. Bloodstained needs tweaking, (possibly spawn times, definitely cap times). Castle is fun, but displaced ground seems out of place, and it just looks really weird a lot of the time to me. He made some good cap points though, but I think the rest of the map needs work.
I haven't really gotten enough chance to play boulder and beamvalley to make a fair assessment, though it's not looking good for beamvalley ( i like the ending though).
As far as rotation, at this point I'd go with ramrod if I was ignoring the votes...but to be fair I think you need people to know the map to start having fun...and with the file size it will never take off unless valve picks it up officially.
This whole thing gave me a new appreciation for vulture (save the last point). It really shines when you compare it next to maps of it's own type rather than the various gametypes on a gameday.

i happened to rate all of them based on that specific playtest, incidentally every map got a 3, except for ramrod which I really didn't like (friggen huge) and got a 2...
from previous playtests...primarily ones with a full server, I really do not like aqua, it has improved since my original assessment about 6 months back, but the routes seem odd choices, not to mention that I now hate water in tf2 with a passion <_<
I enjoy the 1st 2 stages of bloodstained, but the 3rd really irritates me. I have no real problem with castle...but maintaining the life of a server through it tends to be difficult.
Boulder seems to lack enjoyable gameplay in my opinion.
And i didn't really get enough time on vulture to give my opinion on it...
So...there is not really any stand out map for this category thus far

I have not touched ramrod in a while. I know it has a lot of problems and I kind of gave up on it and just started working on a new level.
This event has actually changed my plans for the level. When I got the e-mail from GrimGriz, I decided that ramrod deserved another look. I was planning to do a filesize reduction version but that was going to be it. Instead, this last week I've been drawing up new ideas and changes to the level, including an entirely new stage 2. So once again I'll be back to doing some focused testing of the map. I'm actually excited about it which is something I have not felt about ramrod in a while.
Thanks for the push, GrimGriz.
