Complexity Within Simplicity:
Welcome to Observatory! I was inspired by Steel, but noticed some negativity towards it over it's complexity. I also love Gravel Pit, but wanted to make a map where there was more incentive to defend both A and B.
In observatory, BLU gets to choose what kind of advantage they want when assaulting C. RED could also influence this by defending which point they deem more valuable. Just remember, a team that only defends C is bound for failure!
I couldn't get your uploader to work so please use the above links.
I hope you enjoy this map!

Objective:
- RED team wins by defending C.
- BLU team wins by capturing C before the time runs out.
- C cannot be captured until either A or B is captured

Other Notes:
- Capturing A opens additional paths, allowing BLU team to directly access to C.
- Capturing B destroys a bridge, denying RED team's direct access to C.
- Capturing points will increase RED team's respawn wave, as well as adding additional time.
- RED team cannot regain control of a point once BLU has captured it.

Wow, brilliant idea.  I'll test this out later when I get a chance!

We have to put this up on a full server to see how it plays
