Looks fantastic. Definitely like the submerged cart path part. Look forward to game day or something!

Haven't had much feedback yet.
Have many of you had the chance to play it yet?

I would like to start on the next beta soon, but I’ve had practically no feedback other then comments on the screen shots.
I can’t really do much not knowing if there are any problems people are having with the map.

Its a common problem. :/
Oh and I love the map but the textures look horrible with the rain. Thats my only really big nip pick.

I’m thinking of making a muddy version of the dry grass texture. Probably will add it with the next version.

The only thing I can think of is that you should probably look at your tracks a little closer. Try to line up the track sections a bit better so they look more natural. There are a lot of places where it looks like there's no way a cart would make it over sections of track that would overlap like that in real life. Badwater has some places like that but they're much more subtle. I get the impression that aspect was focused upon more closely by them so I bring it to your attention as well. 
Other than that, it looks incredible. Thank you so much for putting this out here for us to test and discuss with you. There is so much potential. The submerged cart section is outstanding.

Anyone got any game play problems/bugs they have found?
Places that are really bad for engi space or a choke point is too strong, Getting lost, can’t find enough health or ammo?

Time to bump this topic now that all of the contest spam is now in its own sub forum.
Still havn't had enough feedback to start working on the next version

Time zones are always a problem, coz im in Austalia.
I also do most of my testing on my server so i dont submit to a game day.
I played 2 rounds with 28ppl. And both rounds are end at 2nd CP.
I think that 2nd CP is too hard to cap. Need more advantage for blue.
It was hard that it could get to the back side easily especially from the upper left of cp1.

Played 4 rounds tonight.
People found your setting original and pleasing. I liked the drips on the pipes in the first red spawn. This one could get some more detailing, though, whereas the last red spawn is brillant.
At first we believed the second CP was too difficult to take, because as red team we could harass them from almost everywhere.
On offense we were almost stopped before the first CP, but this starting area is very interesting to play with all the cover and routes available.
The killing chasm before last CP was very fun. Blasting pyros went on rampage. Overall, we believed the map was a bit defense prone, but it was that teams were not balanced. Our last try had the blue team go through the entire map without difficulty.
This passage is quite handy but easily spammed with gory results :
The red spawn and surroundings at the end of the map is a bit puzzling for newcomers and the red lost precious time trying to find the good path.
Where to go ?
I must apologize because we couldn't test properly your second round, because they kept pushing the cart almost without stop.
So overall, we may test it again, to see if a decent defending teams get to much advantage. People complained for a while that red could flank the offense too easily, and for last CP of the first round, the pasage with the grate was useless.
We had a bug on the first team switch, arriving at this point, the cart would not move, even with player exiting and entering the capture zone. The number of player pushing was correctly displayed.
Here lies the bug :

Thanks for the feedback; this will help with the next version of the map.
A few of the problems you have stated are already getting some revisions to them.
Stage 2 already has more directional arrows for both teams.
The cart not moving is due to it getting stuck, for now you will have to let the cart move back a little before you can move it. I’ve already fixed it for the next version.
