In retrospect, i don't remember maps like strip-snip

I don't really mean to justify that map, just wanted to point that out.

To be more specific, I don't remember a single approved map as small as stride-sniper other than Eric gurt railwards perhaps. And we can already see the gameplay the small map casues. Since it's small and 8 players max, it's bound to be dense, there's almost always a player at your screen on max players.

In terms of gameplay pacing, this is as fast as an approved map can get.

the map was made for co-op, only reason I think people would find it small is because there is a lot of ways to bump into your enemies in a DM map as opposed to COOP where you spawn on opposite sides and tend to go the middle with less collisions.

map is just very crowded in map layout I think, it's not actually that small.
it's could be also another reason where many players tend to stay at the bottom of the map causing it to be more crowded than it actually is.
