I don't normally ask for this drastic of a change, but The Dead Cliffs just needs to be removed from the map rotation entirely. It amazes me that one of the biggest problems with D1's crucible was that most of the maps were way too small for 12 people, but when you finally cut the game down to 8 players, you somehow end up still making a map that's too freaking small. I would simply ask that you improve the spawning on this map, but I honestly don't think that's possible.
Whenever I play this map, one of two things happens: either you spawn directly in front of enemy players (or they spawn in front of you), or if it's control, you end up getting spawn trapped on B point because your teammates just will not stop taking it. This map just sucks and there's no way to have a fair game on it.
