Engineers are used all the time on gravelpit in 6v6. Sometimes teams will even run an engi at A to stall the other team instead of a scout.

When I download the map is says that it needs a password to unencrypt it.

Don't decompile it then!

On a more serious note... wtf?? works for me, it worked fine for ID who had to bz2 it to put it on the gameday servers...

The map with the most balanced sentries in my opinion is badlands. You can use them to stop people running across an area and backcapping but it's also relatively easy to take them down from an odd angle if you have a soldier or demoman. I haven't played a round of it yet but from having a look round it seems odd that A only has one path on to it for non-mobile classes. I guess it's so low down that it doesn't really matter in practice though. Looking forward to playing it.

Here's my thread on sentries. Perhaps if it doesn't relate specifically to Furnace Creek we should comment over there.

Regarding Furnace Creek, I think the number of good locations at A and C is still a bit lacking, but there are 1-2 excellent ones at both locations. I would personally prefer more mediocre spots than 1-2 excellent ones, since it prevents turtling of those areas while giving engineers more options.

No, no! I'm not decompiling it!

When I open it up in peazip, it says "no match, try providing a password or using flat view mode (+).

It also says "stats not available; cannot browse archive."

Whats wrong with just letting windows open it?

Peazip is the deafault thing to open zipped and compressed files.

And now it works. Why? I do not know.
