Uncharitable Spy
Someone just mentioned 2fort_egypt on the EU server so I had a look at it, and it really is a map that would be very hard to effectively turtle on due to an additional sewer path to intel, as well as roof access which completely bypasses choke points. Snipers also have higher areas to shoot from and far more effective cover.
On the 32 player servers turtling basically sucks the life out of the game, it's reduced to mindless battlements spamming by people who aren't even trying to get the intel. They may be populated but the quality of gameplay is very poor imho and it becomes apathetic rapidly. I know you have kind of written 32 player 2fort off as a DM server but the problem is you have two conflicting groups of players on the same map, ie those genuinely trying and people just griefing because it's totally aimless.
If you replace it with a map that can be realistically won I think the server would be a lot better in terms of gameplay quality. I also wanted to ask if Doublecross can be brought back as it's probably the best designed ctf map there is.
Here is a download if anyone wants to see the map:
