I have had this conversation before, with atleast 1 dev
The map isn't a bad thing for the community, that is, if it were done in a way to not allow every Tom, Dick, and Harry to get "pro scores" on it. I have suggested in the past that the map needs an overhaul. I am aware this would take away from the original nature of the map, but with that being said, the original nature the map was intended for is not suitable for the Assault Cube gameplay/environment, atleast not with those flags being there. The map was intended for arena purposes, and its anything but that in Assault Cube, quite frankly, its a joke. The flags allow for anyone that can use a keyboard and a mouse to feel like they have done some great justice. Removing the flags and redoing the par at best spawns would allow for better playing styles on this map, and who knows, maybe even less vote spamming of it. I would also suggest redoing some light ents (as there are quite a lot and really does cause some high WQD levels that may or may not lag on certain machines). Maybe also looking into the pickups would be worth it also.
These are all suggestions and opinions. Some of you may feel different, I am sure. Its just something that I, and others, have had a real negative opinion towards and a way of fixing what seems to be an every increasing issue with a certain fan base.
