We have arena_harvest_v2 in rotation on two public servers. It always provides an enjoyable, balanced battle & is a favorite amongst our regular players.

This map, as many have stated here already, is just amazing. You have created a unique, farm-like environment with an impressive attention to detail. The color scheme, which, from the screenshots seems very bland and uniform, works very well to create a feeling of fighting to save the fall harvest from the approaching enemies.

I do not miss the typical Red & Blue colorations that have become the norm, and really find no need for them to demarcate which side is which. The symetrical nature of the map, and the relatively small size, make it very easy to tell where one is on the map, so the usual color-coding of the scenic elements is not needed.

The inclusion of the small health packs in the garage was a smart decision. Although some feel that arena maps should not contain healthpacks, I believe that the way you have set them up, it creates the potential for both risk and reward. One seeking health must commit to cornering themself for a few moments, and, those hunting the injured, have a place to look for their prey.

Roof and window spots give snipers good angles, but yet, all those spots are accessible by other characters, so their threat can be neutralized. Some of the sniper's lines of sight, however, might need to be broken up just a little - just because there seem to be so many long direct lines that cover a significant portion of the map.

Other than that, I believe you have created a top-quality, extremely balanced map that will undoubtedly be included in a future Valve update. Nice job! :)

Pros: -Nice gameplay -Beautiful -No glitches -Original theme, textures, props... -Outdoors and indoors -some verticality -not fps heavy
Cons: -A bit small -somewhat fixed Snipers and sentries spots making gameplay a bit repetitive in regard to these elements
Improvements: It would be hard to make it any better for the size it has. :)
Notes: One of my favorite arena maps!

Insane textures, very nice. I would love to see this converted to a CTF or even a ZF map.

Pros: Everything is extremely detailed. It's very well balanced. And just the right size so that it isn't overpowering or too small.
Cons: From what I've seen in this map there is no f*cking cons!
Improvements: Like archangel505 said you should really try making other maps with this theme. Particularly a PL or CTF map since you haven't made one of those yet.
Notes: I found out about your maps when Valve officialized egypt and junction, now I almost only play egypt! Also, you are A huge inspiration to me. As a new mapper it means a lot to me. So keep up the good work!!!

Pros: Stunning doesn't give this map justice. Heyo approaches his maps like an artist, and it shows in every "brushstroke"
Cons: This theme could be an entire CP map on it's own. Give us more dude!
