Maps like product, ashville, upward, etc. are beloved in Highlander, and maps like process, gully, etc. in 6s, but people often have bones to pick with these maps. For example, I love Product as a map, but would, given the chance, make sniper sightlines just a LITTLE more restrictive. What would you change about TF2’s favorite maps to make them even better?
@exa I see, that makes sense. Doesn’t change my personal opinion ofc lol but good context to have
I totally agree with adding borneo, but I think Upward should get replaced instead. They’re maps of similar quality but swift is less stale and has better rotations
also agree with alto that contesting players in caves is too difficult bc high ground on caves. im not sure actually moving caves up was super needed?
@wish i def think the area between point and house could be elongated and the slope less steep, but not as long as original cascade, that was too much. would also help with the high ground in caves
@Mothership presumably such that a player’s collision isn’t inside the spawn area partially when up against the door?
on version r2, it’s possible to loadout-swap through the enemy spawn door

@firepow long essay
Never mind, going to deescalate instead.
Our Highlander community needs to formulate a clear and consistent set of design principles by which maps can be judged. These principles can then be used to provide accurate and actionable feedback to prospective map makers, so that we may finally be able to include new maps into our competitive map pool.
