Yea I had a lot of missions to judge that particular day, so details like that went past.
They're pretty minor details like the name change for the giant deflector, so the modified barrage might as well just be Colonel Barrage and that's about it. Doesn't really need a special name if it is just Colonel Barrage with slight stat variation.

As for the w2 GRUs I don't really care too much about it since they are GRU giants who mark themselves for death and all. It's entirely up to you on what to do regarding them.

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass with changes

Team Lineup:

• Perper (Heavy)
  
• royal (Scout)
  
• Sntr (Demoman)
  
• Cargo O' Truth (Engineer)
  
• The Shark Dude (Soldier)
  
• Crilly (Pyro)

• Dunno why but the Giant Deflector is just called Deflector Heavy. Easy enough to fix.

There's also the bot called "A modified Colonel Barrage" or something like that. It's good that you decided to change him up and all but it's a bit on the nose and I assume that was left in for a laff.

• Not a lot to say about it, mission's fine aside from the mention below.

• The 3rd phase of the boss feels kinda underwhelming when it's a giant stack of himself that gets pretty easily bodyblocked when a part of the stack 'falls down' as the guy on the bottom dies. You seem to have addressed this already but forgot to update the mission.
  But with our decision being a Pass, I can let this slide. This being the first Pass and all.

• Generally, it's not a particularly tough Advanced mission but I figure it gets a bit of benefit-of-the-doubt thanks to being Scout-only.

• The skeletons or something crash the game for almost everybody for whatever reason. This makes the mission completely unplayable.

• Melee weapons with their respective damage bonus upgrade basically obliterate this boss, to a point that we were able to melt away 30k in 24 seconds when we did it again for good measure.
  
• Boss himself is nothing to write home about, he's your usual Soldier boss with crit rockets and big damage.

This is also a good time to remind you to check out the demos linking to the judging run itself: It can put some context into the feedback and perhaps show things that was left unnoticed by the attending judges.

• Why does the Fast Flare Gun have +0% damage bonus??

• Infinite Support makes up most of this wave like closing subwaves on Mannhattan missions. It still kinda works here, since the mission doesn't use it too excessively. However...

• This is where the Support starts to clutter up to a point that it's actually hard to tell what is going on or what is coming at you other than a huge group of bots.

• Having similarly named bowmen that also function similarly (Bowman Rapid Fire vs Giant Rapid Fire Bowman) gets a bit confusing. The Giant's only difference is that he has more health. That's it.

• Sometimes the Boss picks the most remote person possible as their Mobber target so the wave turns into "Everyone fights the infinite Support while one guy fights the boss" and you can't really leave a Sentry to hold the bomb because one of the Support bots is a Giant Demoknight!
  
• Consider giving the boss an Interruptaction that moves them to where the bomb is to keep a better 'focus' on where the boss is and will be. This way the boss can still run about with Action Mobber but gets occasionally reminded to go back to the bomb, so you don't run into a case of "boss decides to squat in a remote corner of the map"

• Damno (Engineer)
  
• Sntr (Demoman)
  
• ocet247 (Scout)
  
• Profit (Heavy)
  
• Hell-met (Medic)

• Dunno how doable it is but consider applying a base movement speed penalty for Giants, they look funky with regular speed.
  
• Why do you become nonsolid when you're a Giant? The final boss just noclipped through our Heavy and almost deployed the bomb.
  
• Because of the Wave 0 tutorial, the max waves are marked wrong! The final wave of this mission is 5/6

• That Sword Tank is pretty mean: A lot of health, gains health and speed on kill! It can also hit people standing on top of it and crouching in front of it. If this Tank gets two kills, you basically lose instantly because it goes way too fast for how much health it has. And that heal is pretty beefy for a Tank.

• Boss deals 900 damage on hit with his sword and this is where it becomes especially noticeable that you are not solid as a Giant. Light classes also suffer with this boss thanks to the high damage swings, and then the boss also has heal on kill on top of the nonsolid Giants penalty.

• Mission in general really favors putting out as many robots as it can under the 22 bot limit. It's a recurring trend from start to finish.
  
• The Conch Engineer is pretty funny, I'm surprised nobody has tried something like this before. A pretty harmless way to get bots moving.
  
• Some of the custom bots are not clear on what exactly they do: Napalm Pyro is apparently just a damage boosted Pyro with slow flames? Frag Demo is just a regular demo with higher splash radius?
  
• There's a lot of custom bots in general. Usually less is more when you use custom bots since it makes them stand out better. If there's a lot of custom bots then they all blend together unless they're something like the finale Boss that has a lot of things going on.
  
• Bots carrying the Thruster make you expect that they will actually use the Thruster but this mission treats it like a regular cosmetic. It's like a Banner Soldier that never uses the Banner: feels weird.
  
• Gatebot support on maps with Mannhattan's capstun is usually not a good idea since gatebots can really screw over their own team with a poorly timed capture. Not to mention how frustrating it is to always have to watch for the gates as well.

• I don't get why the Axtinguishers have just 125 health.

• The RED bots don't feel like they add anything to this wave: They tend to get stuck or idle at areas of the map where there's nothing going on. Same goes for our Chief: he just afk'd the entire wave at hatch.
  
• The boss apparently has 'stomp' power that is either always active or really hard to tell when it is active since touching him while he was just shooting a Sentry made me fly into the sky.

There were also DF pyros on Wave 3 which don't have AlwaysFireWeapon, they were what I was referring to but you have the same Templates on other waves so I should've been more clear about things.
