72hr Mapping Contest #3 - Final Vote!

[PDT]

1. koth_hanz_72_3 My opinion is a bit biased, as I haven't player every map; however, out of all 20-something I played this one was the most fun to play, and it was balanced well. (I actually didn't like Idolon's too much, it was alright but it was a little small/offbalanced)

2. htf_trotim_72_2 I feel as if this is the best entry in the contest that wasn't a KOTH map, and it really beats a lot of those in gameplay and the amount of good times I had on it.

3. koth_crash_72 I liked the aesthetics on this one, and the gameplay was good as well. I can't say I'm fond of the sightlines but overall this one was better than most of the others in balance.

I may change votes eventually because I haven't played koth_ravage or koth_techtf yet.

1. koth_techtf: Viaduct is a good map.
2. koth_ravidge: Pulls off 2 point KotH with class. Needs work.
3. htf_trotim: Nothing special, but fun to play on.

EDIT: wrote actual reasoning other than "fun"

[Rutiz]

1. Koth_Hanz (I really like the map layout and it plays very well)
2. Koth_tech (Its a nice map, nice style so that deserves a second place!)
3. Koth_Crash (Nice gameplay, I like the layout and cp area)

[Crash]

1. Idolon: My favorite part of this map is watching it progress as something comical to something fairly balanced and fun to play. The conveyor belt idea and execution is awesome.
2. Hanz: I love the feel of this map. Everyone has something to do.
3. TechTF: I really love the open feeling around the point, and it's handled well. I really enjoy rocket jumping around this map.

1. koth_hanz_72_2
2. koth_techtf_72
Both are solid, and I feel like came out of the 72 hour period feeling the best to play. I played hanz more but, I like fighting for the point on it better, though tech had better yards.
3. htf_trotim_72_2: The map is a wreck as was submitted, with the game devolving into a game of half second leads creatd by suicidal spies. And yet as I've had the most fun on it of the all the contest maps, I have no choice but to give it one of my votes.

There is less than 4 hours left to finish voteing!

Okay, here's the dealio. Thread is going to stay open til Monday, July 23rd at Noon EST. This is to give people more time to cast some votes this weekend. (Since, I'll be honest, this is kind of underwhelming)

[Hanz]

Doesn't the steam sale end the 22nd?

Thanks for this.
I thought the voting ended the 22nd and may heart sunk when I opened the thread and saw '21st' at the top.

There are/were alot of maps, I would imagine I'm not the only one that, even after three weeks, is somewhat unfamiliar with the entire list of finalists.
