Control Points
Waste (PL) has been extensively reworked and customized for 5-CP push play. Waste places an emphasis on occupying the upper levels first in order to maintain control over the various control points.
Watch the intro movie!


Objective:
To win each team must own all five Control Points.

Other Notes:
Control Points cannot be captured while they are locked.


INSTALLATION:
Unpack the contents of the .rar into your tf directory. Keeping the folder system intact will allow you to see the intro movie and thumbnail in the Map List.

CHANGELOG:
cp_waste.bsp
- Improved symmetry between sides
- Modified final CPs to make it easier to defend
- Extended capture time on final CPs
- Increased spawn times for 2nd forward spawn
- Added a barrier at the main entrances to bases for a less perilous push towards the center CP

Nice job man, glad you added an intro

This could even become an official custom

EDIT: The FPSbanana link doesn't work for me

FPSB uploads are currently down while they preform maintenance. Been down for quite a few days already...

I'm more than willing to further update it in order to see the map reach league play, if needed.

If you have any issues with the map that would dampen your competitive experience with Waste whatsoever, or if you like it just as it is, I'd be happy to listen.

Your map is just fine imo. TWL is using it this season hopefully the other leagues smarten up too because its one of the best custom maps out there.

yeah, i don't gte why this map hasn't caught on yet, i personally like it better than yukon. :/

It's been made clear to me that the main grievance about Waste was how easy CP1 is to capture.

So far, I've had suggestions to put the CP on the second floor, directly above the defenders' spawn. Another is to add a roof over it...

If anyone has any ideas to improve the flow around this area, speak now!

This is my update to cp_waste_final.bsp. Changes have been made in an effort to curb steamrolls. If needed, I could always release further updates with numerical naming--ie cp_waste2.bsp.

cp_waste.bsp
- Improved symmetry between sides
- Modified final CPs to make it easier to defend
- Extended capture time on final CPs
- Increased spawn times for 2nd forward spawn
- Added a barrier at the main entrances to bases for a less perilous push towards the center CP
- Improved visuals
- Improved optimization in the indoor areas

Sweet, the new path to head out into the courtyard is nice, and mid is now perfectly symmetrical. I also like how you made the last point above ground rather than below

Are you still thinking about moving the last point upstairs and/or adding a staircase to the left side after second?
