The added cover in gorge isn't much, just a bit of help for a blue push from the left door. Forward spawn is great though, saves the trouble of switching to engie.

Yeah, the cover is just a few added boxes in both the front yard and the main access room to last.. not hugely significant but not harmful in my opinion.

The forward spawn is nice and in a delightfully surprising place XD Could you get up on that roof before? If not that's actually a nice boost to defending the first point too as you can get some good height advantage for sollies/demos.

The added route into the main access room to last is worth having but it may not change much as every attack still does have to go through that one room before actually getting into last.. I guess that's just how valve wants it though. I think it still might be an idea to widen some of the doors in the upper routes to last as they're currently very constricting and easily spammed.. also last is a little sentry friendly which hasn't been amended.. of course these quibbles may already be moot depending on how big a difference having a forward spawn turns out to be for the attacking team Smile
