woops i forgot to read the entire post. sorry hell-met, in which case on further review i do have the original ctf_well anyway.
agreed with jamaican, its not that i can't adapt to new map changes (changes to badwater were better and i like the changes to ctf_well also) its that the new changes make the game more imbalanced on those maps. Instant teleporters and dispensers healing as fast as medics is just simply silly. Spies cloaking forever isn't overpowered, because before for a spy to be effective the person that played spies had to have put many hours of practice into spy before they got any good at all. while any other class in the game a newbie could pick up and play (not necessarily well) but not feel like they were doing nothing. I remember i got my record for kills (21) as scout with about 15 hours in scout. I would have to check again but i have around 25 hours in spy and was rarely (although occasionally) effective for anything but removing newbie engineer camps). It makes really good spies as good as any other class. and it makes bad spies as balanced as any other class. Cloaking indefinatly next to an enemy dispenser is dumb, but ammo should have refilled spies cloaking from the beginning anyway.
