Every healthpack is floating, whether it's 2 inches or 15 feet... so I don't see it as that much of a problem.

Except most of them are located somewhat closer to the ground. I haven't tried it out, so it must make the area a whole new experience or something.
I played the map few times when it was in alpha stage, i must say that the map is really good.

Yep, but my point is there are a lot of weird things that could be questioned in TF2. A health pack above the middle point shouldn't raise any eyebrows.

One thing that's always bothered me about obscure is how underscaled the walkways at last feel in comparison with the room they're in. It feels too unreal.
I have yet to play it, much less 6v6, but with the goal of competitive play in mind I still think you ought to get some casual playtesting. It will help considerably to improve navigation because you'll be able to tell which pathways don't quite make sense or are underused.
Looking forward to playing it though.

My 'home pubby server' (www.knifeback.co.uk), for lack of a better term, has actually had this map in its rotation for a few weeks now, so we've played quite a few 12v12 and highlanders on it. It plays fine, except the last point can be a bit hard to push into and capture. However, the shorter time limit means that it doesn't often end in an actual stalemate.

Middle bridge needs to be rethought aesthetically. How would such a bridge actually be constructed? Certainly not length-wise with wooden planks. Start with understruts, build atop of them widthwise; other examples of bridges: badlands cp3, well cp3, yukon cp3, viaduct above the cp, etc.

It is bad enough how polarizing competitive play is, Soldiers should have risks for making their jumps. Just my 2 cents.
They already do =), if they miss it then the consequences are quite dear i.e. its risky. If they get it then they get in theory 30hp more after cratering to where-ever they land. If they don't then they end up with 110hp when they land so...
That's the whole idea behind it, to promote a risk aggression.

I found two problem while walking around alone in your map but apart of that it seems a pretty 5cp map.
There is a hole between the door and the wall at the blue base left exit.
And in the first spawn you really want to go throught this door because of the light I think you should turn them off and add boxes or two.

Thank you titanium for the feedback, this has been spotted by 60players+ lol can't believe i didn't spot it when i was bug testing >_<!
And i'll see what i can do with the spawn door with lights =).
Thanks JulesV, going by stats people are loving this at the moment. Just hope i can maintain it.

Don't listen to the naysayers, keep the mid HP where it is

rc1?
well, what you can expect no byte-fanboys here to praise the map, so he doesn't update the thread.
no byte-fanboys here to praise the map, so he doesn't update the thread.I think the wood on mid seems a little strange unbroken up, there's not alot of trees that would be long enough for it to cover the whole length, I suggest breaking it up (just the texture, I mean) or making them horizontal, I only say this because it was the first and biggest thing I noticed.
Edit: On closer inspection I can see that it is broke up, I still think it's a little strange but that's probably just me.

This map plays great, I love last especially so. However, Middle is so much like Badlands that it really takes away from the experience of the play.
Yeah, don't fix what's not broken, whatever, but really I don't want three league maps in a row, where the Middle plays exactly the same. Sorry. I know many disagree with me on this, but I really like uniqueness in maps instead of taking huge gameplay elements from other popular maps and milking it by plopping it into your own.
