This map is featured! Our best maps, all together in one place for your viewing pleasure.
Random music.
Some feedback on the gameplay at the moment, though: I'd like to see more viable sentry positions on the second and third stages. Most moderately acceptable spots are easily out ranged; or at corners so close to wall edges that most classes can just circle strafe around the SG or spam it from cover. Spots immediately outside the spawn (stages 1, 2 and 3) and directly on the initial point(s) (stages 1 and 2) isn't that creative.
Stage 3 is a massive steam roll because there are so many corners and flanking spots. Sentries don't have a decent enough FoV over choke point exits because of all the structures that jut into the play area, players can drop out of an exit, take minor flak off an SG only to then strafe into a building next to them and simply walk around it. In fact many of the exits BLU will leave from have height advantages. The capacity for area denial is severely limited and despite the fact that i have played stage 3 maybe 6-8 times i still have difficulty finding ammo as a defencive engineer.
Hopefully Schwa's building suggestions will allow engi's to setup inside structures though as essentially they're just winding corridors at the moment. Though i have to disagree with making A lower than 192.
On a final note the finalé is supposed to be the hardest CP to cap but at the moment it's practically the easiest and i'd tie that down to the tall wooden bridge. It's way too much of an advantage for BLU; and even if RED occupy it, BLU's in a much better position to clear it than RED is.

A'ight dude I say this cuz I love you.
That music is retarded and does nothing to emphasize the quirkyness of Zig/Zink/Rexy.
First off: No lyrics. Zink doesn't need a theme song, unless it is you crooning about lighting details. "Yeah... blue light_spots keep me hot/gonna stick 'em in yo zink spot."
Second: Zinkenetty has a very fairy tale / fantasy vibe to it. The music should be appropriately dreamy and strange.
Here are some suggestions:
Ratatat. Pros: Hipsters will fellate you. Cons: Hipsters will fellate you.
el pico
Shiller
Detectivebryan. Pros: Absolute insane dreamy music; think Edward Scissorhands knocks up a mail order Russian bride and the child is born with glockenspiel mallets. Cons: Little bit cutsey.
Om Du Möter Varg
E18
Four-Tet: Pros: Fucking awesome, amirite? Cons: None. What part of fucking awesome did you not get?
As serious as your life
Everything is allright
The video itself is really good!
I watched it without sound the first time and enjoyed it a lot. Though now with the sound I'm a little less enthusiastic. Even if music taste is very much individual, for something like this I agree with Schwa that you should avoid lyrics.
For some more suggestions I give you
Emancipator

Damn Ravidge, you're a cool dude. I came back here because I forgot Emancipator but shit, you covered that shit already. Thanks shithead.
Also, I dunno if you like hip-hop, but Sadistik uses Emancipator as backbeats and the result is sweet.

Could always use ZIGgy Stardust 
On a serious note, you could try some of the World of Goo music, Icarus used Best of times. I'd suggest Ode to the Bridge builder, or Red carpet extend-o-matic.
EDIT: 2k posts woo.
EDIT:EDIT: Red carpet extend o matic has a slow/fast section. The fast sections basically starts 1 second before the gameplay sections start up. Just a thought.

I wanted to use some of the tf2 tracks but none of them are long enough.
I didn't know the music track was going to be such a big deal to you guys, although from the comments on the video you either hate it or love it--it's really a matter of preference, which I didn't want this to be at all--and it brings me to be pretty frustrated, since it's not really about the music anyway. I spent a huge chunk of time trying to find a music track and in the end just went with something I like. Clearly, not a good idea, it seems (though I did ask for suggestions in the chat).
I'm going to go with Detektivbyrån - E 18, so hold on while I compile again.

Seriously, I could care less what the music track is in this case, just as long as it's entertaining and people stop you-pooping on the video. I can't make everyone happy. At least this track is a little more neutral.

I can't help it! No matter what I pick, someone's going to hate the music I pick. D:
I liked the 1st song...

I'm sorta forced to agree regarding the sentry positions; I feel like getting them setup and maintained is a bit too difficult. I'd like to play more though to see exactly how it works with larger team sizes...it might be good to deliberately let BLU win so we can just concentrate on stage 3.
Unfortunately I don't have any concrete suggestions of things to consider at the moment...I feel like I haven't really played 3C enough to have tried various solutions.

I'm not quiet sure if I played an older version or not, so this might have been addressed already, but going from Stage 2 A to B is VERY confusing at first. I ran around A's area for way too long before I figured out where B even was. And that was just because an enemy came out from there. Signage would help for sure.
Minor thing, color reflection on rock is off
