What does everyone think about the change to the building on Goldrush Stage 1, 2nd point?

Personally I'm not so keen, it makes it more difficult for both attack and defence to get in the building, there's a choke point now by the tunnel which is just a haven for pyro's. It's totally changed the way the 2nd point plays IMHO.

What does everyone think?

Im all for it anyway. I think it cuts a bit of the mayhem out on that stage.

I dont think think it has changed the balance too much, it's a case of one step forward and one step back for the attacking team. It makes it easier for the attackers to take the building cos they cant get flanked so much. At the same time its harder for them to move the cart because they dont have a close exit or place to retreat.

I do think it gives you less freedom as a defending pyro tho

personally I like the change...I think it balances the 2nd cap out a bit...makes it a bit easier to attack as you aren't constantly being flanked through that door. Attackers can take hold of that building and use it as a base for launching attacks on the 2nd point...

Attackers can still gain access to the building via the tunnel entrance or by rocket/pipe jumping up to the outcrop of the building.

Basically it just seems to help balance it out in favour of the attackers

I like it.

I like it too. Honestly a few times as an attacker I've thought 'wouldn't this be easier with no rockets from the right' while trying to help a demo take down an SG up there...

My problem with it now is all aesthetics; It looks too bare down there now, and much less refined. Maybe some barrels or a painting will help?

Yeah, it's kinda empty.

Spray wall?

Brighten up the place lads, spray your spray on there as your running past...probably on fire...

lol

First time i noticed i had one of those WTF moments, convinced that i was going mad until some said that they had changed the map.

Now i've got used to it, you just have to adapt and then you never relise that you missed it.

Do think it makes it easier now for the attacking team.

Think that makes the map better though, makes the first stage attacking friendly, second neutral, final defending friendly.

Well, thats how I see it anyway....
