I'll be honest: that's the most annoying to navigate map I've ever tried.  I imagine probably 90% of players wouldn't even be able to make it to the other base and back.  I like tight hallways, but even to me the map seems claustrophobic, especially with those colored blocks in the middle of the side paths.

I suggest keeping the side paths simple, since they're longer -- something the average player can just walk through, and elevate the center path a little to balance it out, but don't make it so difficult that players can't navigate it.  Just require basic jumps (no trick jumps).

I've put it up on the beta server for testing (I also renamed the file to be all lowercase).  I'll send you a PM with the details.

Mmm, it seems to me like this is a jump map, that could really create some frustration. If your trying to get through those big obstacles, and you cant figure it out... your going to get shot. I think you should kill the giant blocks and create some sort of original idea.

Your map, do what you want but take some of these ideas into consideration

I think the idea is good but you are just going way overboard with the idea of obstacles as I said earlier.

I would rotate some of this textures. Hope you can see where it is :)

I finally downloaded it to take a look and here's what i came up with.

If it's a pub map, it will suck because none of the noobs will know how to jump the walls.

If it's a match map, it will suck because it will be too slow paced and easily reconned.

If it's a jump map, it will suck because all of the jumps are mediocre at best.

Isn't it MsH's map? Oh never mind thought you meant you changed it.

The jumps are easy, it's nothing to be proud of really.

The maps jumps are very difficult.  Someone changed the map on the Beta server five minutes into the match.  No one was able to make the jumps and people just started to leave.

Like everyone has said the idea of the obstacles has been taken a little overboard and most of the jumps are a nuisance.

On either side i encountered a giant odd looking block maze which cut down play speed a good bit. And maybe it was my side but the yellow texture was really bright.

I like the idea but it just seems like everything is squeezed into the narrow hallways. If you could clean up the clutter/jumps  and fix a few textures it would be a decently fast pub map.

edit: the whole bottom sides are to bright actually.
