If there's anyone from ut99.org, there was this 2012 XMAS contest there, where one clan member made a JB map. I just want to know what do you think of {dfb}MattMan's work?

For a weekend event it's fun, not for regular fights.
JB-XC-{dFb}-X-Mas-2012 is very simple therefore we cannot debate long time on it.

Oh, I bet there were extended debates on CTF-AndAction - and that basically is just a subtracted cube with two flags and a few player starts.
Is the only thing you have found to launch debate on JB-XC-{dFb}-X-Mas-2012 ? :p

Just tried it out. It's not like it has very good gameplay, but I don't think that is what it was going for. It's a themed gimmick map and as far as providing opportunities for sniping as the readme mentions, yes it achieves that as most Face style maps do :). Unfortunately I couldn't ever get the arena fight to trigger to try out the snowball gun.

As far as constructive criticisms go, I would be very light on it for the same reason as mentioned by BloodyBoy, but:
1. I would make it more possible to see in some of the dark areas, particularly in the blue base/tunnels.
2. There's something that slows framerate down unacceptably in the middle of the map.
