I was just thinking I should cut down on throwing my opinion out everywhere around here but this one directly involves me as I brought it up so eh whatever.
So you're adding Ka's 'fixed' version of the map? I told Ka in private chat that this is the first time I have ever seen somebody do this. Hardly anyone knows the trick, and an admin enforcing it is enough. If you want to be safe, add no-building zones in the spot where Hale teleports into. Removing the entire chamber is extreme. The chamber is a pretty good engie spot when used legitimately, and Snipers get a good view when they get up there. Yes, some Hales are not aware of it which might sometimes lead to time being wasted as they have no clue how to get up there, but I have never seen this be an issue at all.
In short: I personally see no need to remove the entire chamber because of this. From the way it looks, I reported an engineer who was using an unfair exploit, someone wanted to fix it by removing the chamber, and now it is immediately being pushed through without broader consideration of the playerbase. Has anyone, at all, given their opinion on this? Has anyone said that they wanted the chamber removed?
Don't get me wrong, I kind of don't really care that much, I don't really like that map anyways. I just think that you should give an adequate hearing to the playerbase, the majority of which happens to like that map, before you make such a change as to remove a section of the map that many have gotten used to.
TL;DR: ask people whether they want it removed before taking rash action.
