Complete CTFort

wow it's beaver creek with a smaller creek

can you guys stop reworking this **** map pls :v

 

Nice map!

I like your inclusion of alternative routes (underground) for a map set up like this. However, I advise against the border of the map being very tall, as classes like Soldier, Elf, and Ninja have way too much mobility considering this setup. I'm unsure if this will affect the concept too much (I don't know what this TF2 map looks like), but modifying the wall to be smaller could be good.

 

Overall a +1.

Small complaint, and not necessarily even objectively bad; just something I dislike personally.
A lot of areas near flag seem very cluttered and kind of unclear as far as navigation goes. As a map creator, it can often be difficult to see when something is less intuitive, because you built the map, so of course you know where everything goes! I'd personally advise having fewer twisting turns. The less complicated it is to reach flag, the better. It makes it easy to offend because you're not getting lost on your way in and out, as well as easy to defend because you have an easy time telling where carrier is headed. Overall, that makes for a better experience from everyone's point of view.
That being said, keep looking for and making use of feedback—it really helps to make the map a better experience to play. There are plenty of maps that were submitted for the previous map wave (and even more before that) that didn't end up making a whole lot of use out of the feedback that was given to them, and didn't do too well as a result.
Keep up the good work!

 

Flag room looks painful. Not bad, but wouldn't be overly excited to play this map. 5/10.

 

I don't think the amount of entrances is the problem. Just the flagroom in general looks annoying to offend against.

 

Honestly, I wouldn't put too much stake into what the forums say. That post is more of a list of suggestions than it is a list of rules.
There are plenty of good ideas there, but there will always be exceptions to those suggestions if you're smart about it. It's more important to realize why the suggestions exist, rather than to follow them at face value.
For instance, not covering sponges is a very good rule because many players are just too used to sponges to be able to recognize any other texture as a "launch pad." On the other hand, if you want to make the map look a little nicer, using yellow carpet on top not only continues to match the color of the block, but also is unlikely to be used elsewhere on the map. A map that does this very effectively is American Fort, which is actually in rotation right now, if you want to take a look!

In this case, it happens to be particularly difficult to get into flag rooms with 2 or fewer entrances, and very very easy with 6 or more, so 4 is a great number to use. That isn't to say you can't balance a flag room with 3 or 5 or maybe even more, but it's certainly a bit more difficult. Just for the sake of example, Blackout has exactly 4 entrances, while Valley of Ruin has 3 and Modern Diversity has 5.
