On the contrary, there's so many routes to go down this main path. Every single flag has loads of approaches, and if you can cover them, you win as a defensive team, which is why it fails on TG servers. We're too organised, and the sheer numbers on each side allow all possible approaches to be completely shut down by the defensive team. However, with fewer numbers this map becomes a joy to play. As defence you frantically scramble from one place to another trying to stop the flow of enemies, while as an attacker, you have to constantly try new approaches and try to find a weak spot. Then when an attacker gets through there's an almighty sense of anticipation as both teams watch to see if they're successful, and then the team has to balance itself and make sure not too many rush back to defend. This is why it usually works as the first map in the rotation, since everyone is jumping into a game with loads of small numbers where everyone's trying to get organised quickly, while in the middle of the rotation when squads are familiarised and teams are fairly even and know what they're doing you'll get the usual toll suck fest.

Don't tell anyone but I have no idea how bleed works either, only that when you have it, it's a good thing, and I think it usually occurs when you have more flags.
