This is an objective map built on Rat's Nest, and built to require strategy.
We played multi-flag CTF with a 12 minute timer, no motion tracker, and 14 players.
Enjoyment: We had a larger number of players on the map than it was designed for, but I still think it worked really well. I had a lot of fun on this map despite the fact that there wasn't as much strategy as I was expecting. Maybe our teams were too large to organize into a cohesive group, but we pretty much just ran around shooting stuff. But I had a blast doing it.
Balance: The game was 12 minutes of pushing back and forth through the center. The fact that the game (basically) ended 1-1 tells me that neither side has an advantage, so this map has perfect balance for multi-flag.
Durability: Although it was easy to grenade jump onto the box and then jump on the pipes, I don't think it was a durability issue, especially in a game with so many players. I was able to spawn kill a player once or twice, but there were so many people buzzing around the base that I was quickly rousted. The issue might have been greater in a smaller game though.
Aesthetics: The bases did not look too pleasing. They were basically just boxes and containers set down. But the rest of the map looked pretty good. But gameplay is usually more important than aesthetics, so it's not a big issue. Plus, I can't think of any ways to improve the way it looks, so I'm sure you did the best job possible.
Originality: The idea of two opposing symmetrical bases is a tired one, but this map has something that many of them don't: the sneaky back way in. The fact that we played without motion tracker made that active camo even more appealing, and I'm surprised more people didn't go for it. I'm glad I never came across a camo enemy on the pipes. I probably never would have seen him coming.
Overall: I had a lot of fun on this map. It's perfect for my competitive play style. I can definitely see how a smaller team would need to rely on tactics to win, and I'd like to try this map out with fewer people some time.
