KotH Prize A3b

Prize - A simple KOTH map.

This is my very first KOTH map and my first venture into TF2 mapping. I've been mapping for a while now and have been looking to branch out from CSGO and HL2 into other source engine games.

I've done a little bit of testing with both BOTs and a few friends. We've been enjoying the game-play so far, but further feedback would be valued.
There are a decent number of routes to attack the main point; however, once you enter the main arena there are limited options for retreat. All class play-styles have been considered in the design process so it should be enjoyable to play no matter what class you main.

Good work on the map. Quick feedback:

• You may want to tone down the HDR as it is quite intense.
• It would be possible for an engineer to set up a sentry that covers both spawn doors and thus spawncamp. Maybe add a third do out of sight.
• For the high balcony, it's long and frustrating to have to go all the way back round to get back up. Maybe add some boxes somewhere to climb back up. Not really a big issue though.
• Feels quite big.
• The point is quite open although there is some cover at the sides

Get it playtested
