    Welcome to the site. I can see you're enthusiastic about mapping, but I suggest taking a look around the site and learning how we operate. You mentioned your map being ctf 3 times in the title. Also, we have organised testing so demanding a test wont get you anywhere.

    Hi, there.

    There are at least two other maps that use the name ctf_warehouse. You might want to consider changing yours.

    http://tf2.gamebanana.com/maps/52994
    http://tf2.gamebanana.com/maps/143414

    The quickest way to get your map tested is to join the TF2maps.net Steam group chat room and ask about an impromptu testing session. Be advised, though, that at the moment we have testing sessions for the recent 72hr mapping competition, that takes place on the Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week, so you may not be able to have your map tested at a convenient time. It's more important right now to keep an eye on any possible testing opportunities, so do join the chat and ask about an impromptu (imp).

    Thanks,

    Matty

    Why do I get the feeling it is similar to a Half-Life Deathmatch map?

    From the screenshot it looks like your map's scale is pretty good, but having that many props in such a small space looks awful and distracts the player.

    It does have a bit of a black mesa vibe now that i think about it

    I might want to fix the placement for props, you're right. I did get the Idea from a sequence from Half - Life where you had to dodge a number of assassins in a massive warehouse. I then thought that it would fit the theme to have this "Abandoned" warehouse feel.

    CTF maps use the map timer by default. Since you ran the map via console there's no time limit.
