* Added dynamic signs and a door to guide players on the RED team and prevent them from accidentally taking the wrong route initially

* Opened up a wall to reduce the strength of a sentry spot

* Added 30 seconds to the setup time to account for RED's longer walk distance

* Rotated the shipping container near the first point and added an easy way to get on top of it

In the last version, I moved RED's initial spawn closer to the point because it was too hard for them to defend. Although I succeeded in making it easier for RED to defend, it made what was once easy pickings for BLU into an almost insurmountable choke. In order to combat this, this version focuses on fixing that problem, among other things:

* Opened up the chokepoint immediately after A

* Gave BLU a forward spawn after A is captured

* Added several additional routes into B to avoid funneling the entire team through one doorway

* Fixed stair clipping

* Fixed rollback zone I accidentally forgot to re-enable (whoops!)

* Tweaked pickups

* Attempted to make the cave a bit less claustrophobic

* Added spectator cameras

* Miscellaneous tweaks
