Absolutely. Seems great so far, I'm loving it.

I posted that before I even played the map.
It's not very hard for a map to become the server start map. Here are the list of requirements:

If my map was a koth it would have been done months ago.
The new map is fun, but very different from other TF2 maps. It has a lot of tight corners and corridors, but the layout is good for the mode. It also looks fantastic as well, but it is a bit strange playing in a more modern map.
[edit] Also, more rover stuff.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen so many positive impressions about a map on here before.

The fork has been dethroned.

I think it's just alright. It takes way too long to get from spawn to the point. And there are a lot of staircase areas where more maneuverable classes like Scouts can really play it out (Snacks in particular was kicking my ass)
You should see some of the chats Forkball and I have had about the future of TF2.
Your heads would spin.
Forkball secretly works at Valve. He wrote Source Engine's netcode and came up with the stats for the Pomson.
I like how the robot heads don't look too advanced, still fitting in with the general TF2 style with the nuts and bolts and peeling paint. They also seem to retain the classes personality and unique silloette.
jk fork you da bes

Yeah the robot heads were found in Source Filmmaker.

That was there since the halloween update but now we can see the whole thing.

Gray's Life Extender Machine must have gone haywire and either killed him, or forced him to ascend to a higher plan of existence. (Causing Gray Mann to become G-man, obviously.) This is going to cause a dead man's switch to activate his army of robotic mercenaries.
TF2 was just updated and the barely melted capacitor is now a misc apparently

Reading this is more painful than playing a payload map!!

Oh gosh another update.
Your face is a payload map!
It actually doesn't if you take the lower path. The route that going out the front spawn door leads you on is probably the longest path to the point. If you head right, you get to the area under the point in just a few seconds.
Map is alright. Multiple paths are neat.
Mini-sentries can dominate on the point with those low walls making them harder to hit, but letting them fire away freely.
The aesthetics don't really work for me in the context of TF2 but I've given up on that a while ago anyway.
I'm sure I'll appreciate it more when I have more than one enjoyable round.

Yea
Everything ruins everything.
Honestly, having more than 2 of any class on a team (on any map) makes the game significantly less interesting. I'm not a fan of mini-sentries, but if the other team decides to run 80 scouts, then my only choices are to go scout myself, go natascha heavy or go combat engineer. Either way, it's terrible (assuming I'm not in the mood to play scout).

Outside of cp I feel every mode has a class that kills any fun to be had.
But yeah, koth usually devolves into gunslinger dickery.
Nice! I haven't had any good drops lately. :T
I have long held this position. More than 1-2 scouts means countermeasures as you mention (and I don't feel like natascha is even effecitve on scouts anymore since you have to be so close to get the slowdown).
Teams with too many engineers have obvious annoying factors. Teams with too many snipers typically hurt themselves.
This sort of thing is why I suggest 2fort can actually be enjoyable, possibly as more than mere deathmatch, if there is a 1-engineer limit per side.
OH BOY A NEW ARG ABOUT HI FIVING WITH DAMAGED CAPICITORS TO FIND SECRET QR CODES
Valve needs to make a code breaker puzzle mmo thing.

3DNJ was on the TF2Maps.net server last night, and said he had a lot of things to fix in the map.
Mini sentries can be enormously powerful on this map - if you get a teleporter on top of the little shack, and then move it onto the roof of the point. Mini sentries up there are hard to spot and cover nearly all the exits. Combined with multiple engineers, it's almost unstoppable.
