I think arse had made a good point about the player limit. 4v4 spammier maps like athen are much better, 2v2 even better
Athen is a great map, good design and layout, its just, like guardia etc its too small (at least width wise) for 10 players
You don't have to worry about Overlord, that's going to be gone from the looks of the other poll. Seige is only rarely defended both ways when both teams are really good, and likewise with bridge. If the teams are too uneven then yes they will be defended full time, just like any other map, but thats an issue with the teams not the maps. Any map can be defended full time with bad teams, I think the problem is these maps have longer time limits therefore last longer in these scenarios
Ajax, there will plenty of opportunity to put some good customs in once we have sorted out the basic rota. Don't dispair yet
