Why isn't A/D played more often in Highlander?
-
Viewing the map pool history, I note that the only A/D map used is CP_Steel. I’m curious why A/D is a mode not seen with more maps. Is it an issue with the current choices of A/D maps or the map format itself?
Just a question I had on mind, thank you!

hawko5517 Its mostly due to a lack of good competitively viable A/D maps, I know a few have been in development but most of them haven’t come to fruition. A/D has a lot of potential as a gamemode and I personally enjoy it, but maps take time and until we get a new good one steel will remain the only in rotation.

rapids is currently in development and is frequenting high level tests its very possible that we play it in the next few seasons

rapids is probably the best candidate for an alternate steel-like map for the HL rotation out at the moment, however development for the map has been delayed unfortunately which has made it tough to push for its inclusion. Would love to eventually see it in a season though once it’s more polished! Most Invite players are familiar with it to a degree as well
