yeah toyfort is no good.
snofort is too dark and has a problem with the spawn door (sometimes it gets stuck shut)

slide sucks
same author as skyscraper but both teams start in the same area, which means people just kill each other rather than jump

This was posted on FPSBANANA.com by the map author:
***Ctf_snofort updated! -- SERVER ADMINS, IF YOU DOWNLOADED PRIOR TO NOV 29 YOU MUST REDOWNLOAD OR RISK HAVING PROBLEMS SHARING THE MAP WITH YOUR PLAYERS***
UPDATE NOTES: Fixed the major problems that were identified in the first few days, including:
- Higher ambient light levels; players are now easily visible outdoors.
- Second exit from the flag room; you don't have to go back through the cabin to leave the base.
- Imported pine tree models from EP2; outdoor trees are no longer ridiculous looking and should provide some sniper cover for the outdoor route.
- Truss models in tunnels are now 'Not Solid'; you won't get stuck on them.

Was the light the only problem? Because it looks like an interesting map and I've never played it
I'm not sure if he fixed the spawn door problem yet.

That j2 jump map is terrible. It shouldn't be on the map rotation.

a lot of people like it. you are an admin, why not set server 1 up with your favorite maps?

cp_floodzone2 seems to approach being impossible to win with a full server. The single, middle choke point is too small for large teams.

i dunno dugan, all you need is uber to push right through and past it. most of the stalemates i see are because both teams are not actually trying to push forward, they are just sitting at 2nd point fighting over middle

The question isn't whether or not it's possible, this map tends to stalemate. Doesn't matter why.

well if it's player inaction that causes stalemate then i'm more inclined to like the map. i don't think there's anything wrong with floodzone, the problem is that a significant portion of the playerbase doesn't understand the concept of the team goal. i wish there was a way to punish/encourage people to try to WIN as opposed to sit back and rack up meaningless kills.

floodzone has been beaten with full house, it all depends on whos playing, and on what teams they are on. and i don't really understand why people even care about kill stats and stuff when the server doesen't even have stats, so whats the point. i could understand if you know, every point was being recorded. regardless, floodzone has been beaten, but its just like hall of death, its been stalemated so many times before too, but it is beatable.

This breaks the whole community aspect of the servers, but this is where team only voice chat would go along way to organizing people on cp_floodzone2.
Another idea is to maybe turn off the time adjustment when the center control point is captured to add some time pressure to push through, or at least force it into sudden death.
