tell me, whats a good ctf map in ur opinion? isnt there always a base, isnt there always a middle part with some other pathways? ... hmm, i would really suggest to hear ur definiton!
ah and yeah, pls tell me, when was the last time u played sauerbraten? do you ever realized that the game, the gameplay, tactics and players are about to change... maps like eurpoium, berlin_wall, xenon or other maps of their size are not longer the most played maps!

ah one more thing: on reissen ur able to score in something like 3.2 seconds, pretty fast, pretty small map, hu? it should be thrown out of the release before years... lol.

You've misinterpreted my comment. The atmosphere just is incredibly boring and is screaming for some more colour while it's being tortured by evil grey spirits (symbolically).
Next to that, the map could be longer, even you stated maps are becoming smaller in size, you've forgotten we are the persons which are responsible for that. It doesn't have to be like that at all.
You also forgot reissen originally wasn't meant for setting times of flag captures which take about 3.2 seconds (which actually has nothing to do with this map).
I actually can't get up in my mind maps like europium, berlin_wall and xenon would ever be popular, neither in the were in the past (personally, I really dislike them for ctf just because of their flow).
