In my opinion, this map is awful. It has a confusing layout, poor flow, and horrible performance. In short, a server killer. My vote is to remove it from the server ASAP.

I only put it on because Fenfen said to run customs tonight.

I never found the layout to be confusing, but the flow and design is erattic. You have straight-line paths like the mid-to-penu paths, and you have laybrinthine routes all over the place between penu-and-final points. The mid point's design is a mess as far as TF2 combat is concerned, the penults are just a box room with two halls and a staircase, and the final points are huge and many of the enticing routes are blocked off by team-discriminating doorways.

I can't speak for performance because my machine is (was a year ago) pretty studly but I expect all that water will browbeat systems with low video ram and older cards.

Was this on the 29th or the 1st? I remember a pretty god-awful map on the 29th.

Strag posted shortly after the map was run, so sometime within the hour that preceded "03-01-2008, 08:19 PM".

Alright, so the 24th. Gotcha.
