Embargo is an amazing map and should be added to the game pretty please with a cherry on top
I do not do this often, since the mere mention of workshop content here is a bit controversial nonetheless, but after enough researching and trials i do believe that this is one of the freaking coolest maps ive ever played.

Theming is bloody amazing, from the start of the map to the casino at the end, aesthetically i think it fits with the artstyle of the game although colors might be a bit too bright but it is still really cool.

Layout is nice, theres lots of ways to go around for both teams, so it doesnt feel chokey, although the last point might just be a little, but like, thats a common thing on lots of payload maps so i can kinda dig it. (And it kinda depends on how players are scrambled between teams tho) Im not really a genius in balanced gameplay but the thing is i had a lot of fun in this map and it didnt feel bad at any given moment.

And the bloody cherry on top for me are the unique transitions between points, like, at one point the payload goes inside a truck and it kinda becomes like the train at Frontier, and then goes back to normal at the last point. Not to mention the payload at the start COMES IN A FRICKING HELICOPTER, THATS BLOODY AMAZING.

Also, the little robots of robot destruction go around the casino in little suits carring medkits and stuff at one point, thats just freaking adorable.

Like, the whole tropic crisis project seems really nice to me, but, being realistic, its very, VERY UNLIKELY that the whole thing gets added to the game, so if i have to choose ONE thing to be added from the project, please let it be Embargo, im not kidding, it is becoming one of my favorite maps ever.

And please do go try the map for yourself, they got like 5 servers hosting the maps from the project and they all are really neat and workshoppers should take example from them.

(Seriously, the fricking helicopter at the start its so cool aaaah)

I played on it, It’s ok. Some parts feel a bit too open. It fits the art style more than other maps I’ve seen do so I appreciate it for that more than anything.
No add waffle house instead (i did not read the post)

Yuck the only map here’s that’s even half decent is los muertos, which is carried by the fact it’s a Halloween exclusive.
Gives you a sense of what to expect from mappers who emphasize looks over gameplay.

sharkbay is good
Shark bay is good except for the unobscured sight line across the map and the kill water that just has to exist near a map where fighting is centralized around a fixed location
