This is a fantastic map. I hope it goes official one day.

I think what YM meant in his other post is that the point and the area around it are really flat; Snipers have angles on the point from just barely coming out of each exit to the base.
He also mentioned the point lacking height. Why not add one of those lifted floor/road sections like the ones on either base in the last phases of Hydro? (couldn't find a reference picture, just look for yourself.)
You can put your doomsday device there, too.
Moving through this area, I keep going through this door (marked exit, even) even though it leads me back to spawn. Angle this door 45-90 degrees so that it's facing away from me.
Lastly, you seem to have forgotten to build cubemaps and pack custom content, unless it's just some issue on my end.

I'd say thanks, but the map really isn't something I'd want added to the game. I'd rather not have a koth map be my entry into TF2...
Can the one on the right be BLU, or is that not possible
Fear my missiles!

Just a little picky thing... but if that road section were to close, would it lie flush with the ground? It looks a bit long.
More positively, I really like the dynamic this creates, especially as it also creates a path to those windows. I can't wait to see how it plays.

It'd work like a track system in which the missles are loaded through some drop doors.

I meant like this:
Turn that upper window into a door, raise up that building at the back, have a ramp up to the new highground and a tunnel below
The cave interior is more open than the ground was before, but then, it's still enclosed. Lower that door at the back ~64 units
If you give the edge this kind of profile you can stand on the very edge and shoot down, yes, but it's generally very tricky for players on the high ground to shoot at those on the low ground and vice versa.
I don't recommend leaving the highground as barren as I have, think badwater's opening area.

Detailing:
-Placed some shrubbery around the top water areas.
-Getting ready to detail the cliff area.
-Considering on redoing the security booths in the level.
Sightlines:
-Cut down some major sightlines used by snipers being able to normally jump onto vehicles.
Gameplay:
-Added a ramp to the back area of the point. This will block snipers, and engineers that build in those windows.
-Brought the ground level up near the garage exits.
