dom_canalzone strategies

[wokmage]

So, looking ahead in the UGC summer season and I was just wondering if any of you have insights for strategies (both general and class-specific) on canalzone. I have a few general ideas of what I'll do as an engineer, but . . . honestly it looks like it's going to be a clusterfuck.

[edit] Also, if you haven't seen it yet, here's the thread about the map on the UGC forums: http://www.ugcleague.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11062. Now I really want to camp red's forward spawn with a lvl 3 sentry. :P

Also, dear anyone else, how bad of an idea is it to run pain train on soldier and demo on this map?

how is it ever a bad idea for the demo to run paintrain on a map with control points?

Did it? I don't stalk their forums, is there a link to a thread where people complain about it?

UGC is full of shit maps.

Summer Season is full of shit maps that they're clearly testing on our poor little beings.

Does red still get the forward spawn to an unprotected area if they cap balcony or is it fixed now?

The last I read on the UGC forums said that they still did.

Demo can just trap up the entrances to the points anyway. so many chokes on that map, all he has to do is lob pipes and m1m2.
Solly needs to use market gardener. Nuff said.

PM me about this. I have so many strats for this map already, u wouldn't even know :P I played that map so much now I even know how to get anywhere from anywhere.

Also, anybody up for a canalzone party at some point so that every1 can learn the map and such?
