I love to play 5cp, I like to play as roamer soldier, also I lost my internet connection... So, I managed to make some feedback of the map

Bugs and Issues

Both first points - Void
You can see void from different angles at first point

First Red Spawn - Door animation broken

If you fall from waterfall at the second point you can see through displacements

Lightning

This door lightning seems not good

Also this

These two are really dark spawns

Clipping

I supposed to be here? Stand on this sign?

Sometimes I getting stuck in this sign near second point

I hate this tree. It mess me to rollout to mid

Sniper sightlines

This is really huge line from near sniper truck to the death sign. I am really bad sniper, but I got a few kills there

(Spoiler) I missed that shot

Also this is more closer to second point, but it still destroying everyone on mid
(Combat here is fun unless some Phi or Abp joining the server and pick sniper)

Good defending sniper spot to get everyone leaving mid

I think in the future there will be sniper fight between Phi and Abp
But to be honest it is really good spots for attacking sniper

The last one is really powerfull - get all ways!

Alert huge sniperlign from second point to enemy second point

Hehe, just joking. Just some jump-lovers kills

Alert another one

Hehe another joke. Just some foot killing shots

Also, these doors are not shot through, so make some kind of surface here because it confuses player

Also, it is kinda easy to kill people which coming from the spawn to top platform

Last one - some sightline from waterfall on mid

Optimisation issues
Lmaobox time!

You can see mid from some point between second and last, but if you make some steps it just dissapear

Also this strange from second through mid and to second (you can see pyro coming from stairs)

Tactics and strategics from proffesional of trench war (was defending 20 minutes on last of red dustbowl as engineer against tryhards, unusuals, demos and soldiers)

Defend last on this map is really easy, it have only 3 ways, 2 of them is just on the same place

For example, top one is easy to defend by engi and demo

Bottom one is easy to defend by sentries and sniper

And upstairs by any other class like heavy with medic (or just demo)

So, I recomend to make new way here: mid-second stairs

So, thats all. I have some good rollouts video, but it is too huge, I can to cut it some, just let me know. Leaving you with peaceful Startacker!
[Startacker was too huge to post here]

So, find some problems with trains

Blu train not working at all. It is just open gate and not coming
Time - 5:23

Time 5:18 - No train

So, here it is, shiny train

Is Red train works?

Man vs. Machine. Winner - Machine

So, next problem is door opening logic
sometimes you use the door a second before the train arrives, so this causes natural problems

Stupid red soldier bot open the door and then...

Ok, not the same second, but you got the point

Next problem is Supernatural train
Sometimes Red train comes as usual, but then it disappears (on the screenshot I almost caught this moment), and then it magicaly appears and break door logic

Also, When I tried to place teleport near gate I got hit by doors for no sense. And there wasn't any train. My teleport got destroyed after that by real train

Also still these lightning problems with gates

Small, but still problem with this wall with overlay. I managed to make it invisible while using thirdperson. Not quite sure if it works without it but eh

Last problem
If someone has set you on fire, then sometimes standing in full height in the water is not enough, you must necessarily sit down. I don't think it should to be so, but okay

I really like where this map is going. Just please, whatever you do, dont add vampires or vampires that glow.

that's such a weirdly specific request wtf

Glowing vampires are a 5cp staple, if they were removed people would think the map was Payload.

 

[Maid]

- Partial redesign of lobby to give attackers less high ground and make underground route more tight and risky - including sign and pickup changes (should also hopefully encourage players not to take the long route to mid).
- Adjusted respawn times and cap times.
- Changed spectator cameras at mid.
- Fixed red resupply lockers not animating.
- Clipping and displacement changes.
- Trains and train gates no longer cast shadows.
