CP Kennecott A5

Kennecot - Pyramid CP in Alaskan mine

My eventual submission to the Rule of Three's Contest (both minor and major).

Kennecott is a gravel-pit style map whose location is inspired by the abandoned kennecott mines in Alaska. I'd like to think the map is a unique take on the pyramid CP style, and hopefully proves itself enjoyable to play.

Please enjoy and leave feedback to help me better refine the map for it's contest deadlines. Things like health and ammo, lighting, and more is subject to change (also there's a typo present in the file name, but it shouldn't affect downloading the map and should be resolved by the next update) .

Kennecott A3 Update:

I realized that yesterdays upload of A2A was somewhat broken on my end, consistently loading the A2 version of this map. I realized that there was an issue with the file name, and eventually resolved the issue. This is a comparatively small update when compared to prior ones, but an important one.

Changes (Will update screenshots today):

- All changes featured in the A2A update (since its uploaded file was most likely broken on the website as well)

- Changed cover on the leadup to point C slightly
