I quite like that im actually able to play offensive engie on defense without getting my ass (and my teams) kicked on this map.

(Unless you set overtime to automatically end and give RED the win after a certain time, in which case it was incredibly nonobvious that you did so.)

On the bright side, it was pretty much unanimous that the map was quite stunning visually.

Following up on this, the exact same thing happened on Gravelpit and I've heard stories of it happening on cp_glacier, so it's probably not a map-specific issue, but more of a game mode one. I think Valve broke something in one of the updates. I sent a bug report...a while ago. Anyone know how often they check those?

If the map timelimit expires, the defense wins. This means the round timer or the server timer.

Only on 5-CP. Attack/Defend maps run until the map round timer is up, and if the server timelimit is below a certain point it'll change to the next map at the round end.

Did you notice we're doing some more _test compiles? that means we're working on another version. that will (with 95% certainty) be the 'final' version. what its called, _b5 or _rc... _b5 is more likely

It still has this thing:

This is a real pain in the ass for every mapper. It would look really fugly if it would still be there in the final release.
