No strike (first one)

Overall:
The whole mission can be summarized in one sentance.
A large amount of weak bots that will almost never kill you.
This issue is prevalent in every wave, and makes the mission incredibly forgettable and boring.
I forgot which wave had it, but sydneys don't belong in int.
Multi bomb does not belong in int.
A majority of this mission needs to be reworked.

w3: this wave is mostly just a noobkiller, giant scouts and early gheavy will roll bad players.
w4: blast soldiers are annoying, please don't use them
w6: remove boss
w7: HoK does not belong in int. Please remove engis.

No Strike

Overall: huge improvement from previous version.

w1: fine

w2: finale is a pretty large difficulty spike, make demos not rapid fire, and make meds regular quick fix.

w3: burst demos + bigheal meds are too strong this early into an int, make demos normal and make bigheals qf (bigheals in final subwave are fine)

w4: fine

w5: remove the meds on the heavies, the gpyro felt kinda wierd as a finale to the wave

w6: make the last batts soldiers squadded with the buffs, Yoovy: make pyros normal ai, since hard ai is fairly punishing for int.

w7: make gburst not crit, reduce final tank hp to 25k

Mansion - Test Fire
by owo Inky

Judging presents: CreatorForce, Package O' Lies, and Poet
Strike: 1

Demo: https://us-testing.moonlight.tf:27107/de...82.dem.zip

Feedback:
Overall: This mission was ok, but difficulty absolutely mixing between intermediate and advanced, the sentry buster spawn too fast and makes engineer keep going away like 5 seconds. Please tone down the sentry buster.

Wave 1: The first wave seems pretty rough, very strong common at the beginning, especially the heavy part. I suggest change heavy to something weak common, like shotgun heavies with normal AI. I'm not sure about the giant charged soldier, I suggest change to a normal giant soldier. Since this is intermediate with low cash.

Wave 2: Felt fine, nothing to say about it.

Wave 3: Somehow it's very easy than wave 1, the difficulty drops almost to normal, and there's no strong common. I suggest ramping up the difficulty a little bit.

Wave 4: Wow ok so, this wave absolutely rough, like mixing between intermediate and advanced, the worst part is a blue engineer. About 2 giant soldiers at once (end subwave) might be too much. Oh speaking about giant soldier. Please remove the uber medic and engineer part.

Wave 5: Overall fine, but the last pair of giant charged soldiers just need to remove because straggled

Wave 6: The battalion at the beginning is too much, tone down those battalions at the first subwave, the other part is fine.

Wave 7: Finale is a bit tough, also I don't like smissmas gauntlet, it's just stunning with more health, replace smissmas gauntlet with crit shotgun heavy.

Demo: https://us-testing.moonlight.tf:27107/de...35.dem.zip

Wave 1:
- shotgun heavies didn't really have much killing power, could buff their ai to hard difficulty
- Bat scouts could come in groups instead of stream spawn to make them more threatening
Wave 2:
- Bat scouts similar issue to wave 1
- The 5 soldiers and pyros felt like they straggled at the end. They could be put in their own subwave (2 groups of 4 soldiers and pyros) after the g demos have finished spawning as they already wait for the tank to be destroyed.
Wave 3:
- good wave
Wave 4:
- felt fine
Wave 5:
- felt fine
Wave 6:
- Increase the battalion soldiers to 18 (6 groups of 3) at the first sub wave. The g soldiers feel useless with how few there are.
Wave 7:
- felt fine
