ctf_mercy_a3 - Comp-play CTF map by vilepickle, I got a chance to preview the a1 version, its a bit small but its about the same size as mach4, we'll be testing the upper limit of player numbers for this map

pl_wintertown_finalfix - This supposedly fixed FPS issues

pl_pharaoh - egypt themed PL map

cp_mainline_rc2 - I think we might have done an earlier version of this, cant remember

I'd prefer if Mercy wasn't even labeled as comp-play personally.  Though that is the contest, a good map will play well in both scenarios.  I highly doubt any of the contest maps will even be played in competitive TF2 widely due to the game mode.

It's a small and fast map so it will ring of Mach in a public setting most likely, though in my opinion it is more refined and less prone to a turtle.  You may want to up your capture limit from 3 on the map though, time to cap is rather short.  I guess that's one thing that needs testing.

how was pharaoh? it looked slightly less spammy/grindy that other pl maps but that was just from a cursory glance

I generally like it, a bit too many long corridors for easy sniping and can be a bit "mazey" at times, but I see no issues with putting it on the vote list.

Come to think of it, the only one I would not put on the vote list from tonight is wintertown, and well....mercy needs some textures but is overall solid.

Speaking of this, the download server was acting up last night, I know we've slammed it harder than we did last night and it still managed to fuck up.

I submitted a ticket with the host and got back a reply that "its not the server, check your scripts", so it just might have been a fluke that some router near the server was on the fritz. If anyone else encounters any issues downloading a map or sees a lot of people quitting on what is otherwise a pretty small download, please let me know ASAP.

Wasn't able to stick around for the last one, but the first 3 were all fun.  I had a lot better performance on wintertown than last time.
