Haven't played it for ages and it seems to of left the map rotation, memories of the epic defeat to NuB have faded and I have a hankering to play it.
Anyone else want it put back on rotation

I find myself stark naked except for a pair of latex gloves attempting to pull on a pair of red tights on in my parent's spare bedroom.

I think it's still on the Servers 2 & 3 which means that any admin can put it on through beetlesmod  |

all of these 5point maps have the same result...
either your team steamrolls the other
your team gets steamrolled
the teams are balanced and its just a grind for half an hour...
Why I dont like them tbh

s'ok.. again its just a grind..
all CTF maps are made for scouts to show off thier evasion skills
which is great if you like that, but not everyone does

5 point maps are my favourite, cus I think they rely more on skill than just who can spam the most/have the most heavy medic combos liike DB and GR do.

To address Hzza's question from the Shoutbox (probably more detailed than he would like) ...
In a nutshell: Chasing is a stalemate tactic!
IMHO 5-point-CP-maps like CP_Well should be played very fluidly with a constant preference towards offense. I think it's a mistake to play it with a major defensive tactic, because that might help you not to lose, but it doesn't help much to win.
So when capping a point you should push forward. When you encounter an enemy going for the point you just capped it's not necessarily a smart idea to engage that enemy. Simple reason for that is that these enemies are screwed when you manage to get the next point before them, because they can't take that point. You have enemies at a point where they can't do anything and you have less enemies in front of you to keep you from the next point.
But if you engage them they will either kill you (=bad) or you kill them (=respawn and have to fight them again) ... or you're both hurt and therefor almost useless.
IMO this is especially stupid in case of scout since they can create the greatest momentum. Chasing another scout does only cause you not to do your job: Capping the next point.
To take care of that scout is the job of the heavy/medium classes *behind* you.
To some degree the same goes for CTF maps.
