So, for the past while, I've been working on another trade map. Now, this isn't a suggestion, just something for people to look at and judge. Its called trade_aperture_v2. I've put all of my effort into decorating the map to make it look nice while also having it run well. The spawns do not face eachother because snipers are annoying and it looks kind of neat. Here's the video, and if you guys want it, I'll post a download link in the replies.

I believe Portal 2 got more textures than just thoose white and black ones and that glass.

Way better than the current map, this one has character and isn't just a giant cube.

Also it isn't so closed up that jetpack doesn't work.

Would like to see it a tiny bit bigger and I am assuming that the spawn has an alternate exit?

Correct, there are teleporters in the spawns that lead to rooms across the main exit.

Good, so at least a small army of snipers can't fully spawncamp. Also the doors are a nice way to stop demomen and soldiers from killing people inside the doors, but could be abused as a sniper as a pre-aim wall.

To be fair, sniper isn't going to be as effective/annoying on this map since the spawns aren't facing each other. Snipers are gonna need to move around and be vulnerable to snipe the spawn door.

More direct hit airstrikes for me...

I noticed.

Here's my two cents,

The boxing ring is in an odd place
The spawns are okay, but possible for abuse meaning you can easily spawncamp.
I couldn't find anywhere for the boxing ring to go at the time I added it to the map. I'm moving it in the next iteration. Will also add more exits because spawncamping.
