CP Mann Mall B3

[Glubbable]

Mann Mall was a map created for the TF2 2017 Summer Jam.

(I'm just reposting this here because apparently the Jam Entry variants are not allowed to be updated anymore so I'll provide further updates here!)

The map is a 3CP Attack & Defend while the design of the map itself is a hybrid based from maps like Junction (Tight Indoor Combat), Steel (Anti-Rush/Mini-Setup Doors) & Goldrush (Spawn routes that'll become closed but could be used as surprise flanks if you wait in them).

Feedback is always welcome, but keep note that I do plan a few things:
1. Currently in the progress of detailing, not all areas are finished
2. Skybox might get more detailing later on if feedback on the clients performance is still good while playing on the map
