Yeah, he does that in Mountain Lab also, and I really don't like it at that angle. From the ground you can't tell though.

It's my sign
Also, I found those roof weird too, but don't care at the moment, I will make some snow roof model to fit in the map at the end (but still a looot of work atm).
Element boy, I think the problem is in the way you're building your map - it looks like you've created a big square ground, and then filled it with some balconies, props, added some doorways and voila. It's not a way to build a good map. First, you need to have some main idea of the point, something that makes it unique in some way, and then build it step by step, route by route, don't just throw stuff into a square box. Sketch your area on the paper, if it makes things easier. You don't have any interesting height variation, it's a flat ground surrounded by some baIconies/walkways, I can't see any suprising flank , each of the doorways looks into the same area. This piece of layout isn't very bad, it's just boring, you don't have anything special to catch player's attention. Plus it's waaaay too open.
Wut? There never was a "problem". I have been using the last weeks on improving my maps design. And this is ONE screenshot of ONE control point out of THREE control points. I have only added props that serve a purpose so far. All doors are placed so they will minimize turtling. It looks boring because you dont make stuff visually appealing before beta
I do agree a little on the emptyness (Of THAT cp) tough... I'll have add more ground cover at some point

Back on rails after my exams :woot:
Working on an old map I really want to finish now.
Before it was this :
Now it's this :
Wait, was that a custom skybox and trees in that old one? Were they ever released in some form?

Okay, since I'm a superpaintmaster, I've made some super-cool-bad-ass high definition visual feedback for you.
Anyway:
Also, by saying, that it looks boring, I didn't mean that it's visually boring. I meant that the layout looks boring. And I thought it's pretty obvious, that I comment what I see, not the whole map, don't tell me it's just one screenshot, I know it.
Just wanted to help, if you can't take my criticism, do whatever you think is good, it's your map. :>

I have, a criticism, for you. You should, use fewer commas, in your sentences, because it makes them, really hard to, read.
It just bugs me. Also, if English isn't your first language, then I'll feel terrible about this.
Silly me... Forgot to tell that there's a shortcut to that point that helps the defenders arriving quicker. That means that most of the defenders will come along the red arrows:
About the height variation: I agree, but im a little out of ideas here...
If you have an idea it will be much appreciated! Don't think i can't take your critics. Critics are the best help you can get after all

Now it's this :
Welcome back!
On thing that bugs me is that crane and that box... it just... doesn't make sense :/
element_boy6522, my idea of high variation. Blu has high advantage and reds shortcut will bring them on lower part. Longer route gives red even high with blu.
Brown colors presents cliffs. Also photoshopped ledge for blu on left side to visualize more the high advantage.
Hopefully I'm thinking this map right

I don't think you really understand what spam is or how it works in TF2. Spam is blind fire in anticipation of enemy movement. The omition of grenades from TFC to TF2 makes general spam really impractical in TF2 (reduced capacity for all classes for area denial with things like the nail, MIRV, napalm and regular grenades); so at best it revolves around a bunch of lesser skilled demomen spamming choke points such as narrow doorways with propelled nades, tight corners with stickies or capture points with both.
If anything were to recieve spam it'd be the narrow wooden framed doorways and the general vicinity of the metal capture plate.

I finally found a good theme for my map You'll have to click the links, the images are too big to fit here without being obnoxious.
