Only played one game of HP on it but I liked it a lot more than most of the maps in the rotation, probably plays different in 4v4 though

Yeah for sure plays different in 4v4 but everthing makes sense, 3 lanes with good flank routes. And it feels better than some of the shit we are playing

Solid pub map. Would like to see it tried for comp at least

Actually had a lot of fun on it yesterday, not sure if it's a viable comp map but another fun one to add to the pub pool for sure.

Could play better than checkmate or garrison though

Honestly not a big fan of it (played only 1 TDM on it so my opinion might change)
Pros:
-
Good flow, much better than some of the maps we have in the rotations right now, and it may be fun in SnD (not sure about HP or Control cause I haven't seen where the sites are)
-
Small and with clear routes, pretty much like some OG Treyarch maps - we're lacking that, because apart from Raid none of the others are that clear (Checkmate maybe is the other one)
Cons:
- Visibility. Again, this issue is hard to overcome at this point but the dark spaces, the headglitches and the enormous amount of places to hide makes it hard to play (only played tdm, which promotes camping, but the place under the house and the little wall hole head glitch are hard to contest)
- May be more 1 sided. The people that spawned on the top side seemed to have an easier job engaging and winning gun fights
- Not that aesthetically pleasing. Honestly this is the one that counts less but it does not look like a competitive map, it seems like "a mess" visually speaking.
These are just my two cents but wanted to share what I feel about the map.
Overall I'd say it is a solid map but not my cup of tea

You need to defo try it for other modes haha, visibility wasn't a massive issue from what I played maybe in certain spots but that's just this game in general.

Yeah for sure! As I said it seemed like a solid map, and I only played 1 game between work meetings so I still have to learn and study the map

Does anyone know where the sites are for search? Played one game of Dom and thought it was decent definitely has potential

Haven't gotten to try it yet but based on the comments, I'm pretty excited.

I enjoyed it, three lanes felt kinda meshed together but surprisingly didn’t feel too fast or too slow, good spots , pretty well balanced and overall a fun map

I played a couple of pubs on it, I really liked the flow of it for pubs at least, I’m hoping the pros at least give it a try in some 8’s soon

It’s great.

I like it a lot and think it will be fun to play and watch in 4v4. I was surprised with how good the visibility turned out on this map. I was expecting foliage, sun and shadows to cause problems but the map is very bright so it seems to solve a lot of those problems.
The only spot I have had trouble spotting a player is when they go on that two story balcony in mid map that looks into one of the spawns.
The map is essentially Havana from Black Ops 1 and I love it! You really see how much smaller they made some of the maps back then compared to maps like Moscow and Checkmate with lots of dead space.
Also shows how a good 3 lane map creates consistent fun gameplay. I am in love with Havana since its one of the first maps I watched a competitive match of, so I am biased.
Hope to see it in some Scrims soon!
