Smelting is where I consider marines make their game. If they can secure Smelting then pressure Turbine and Lava heavily without much disruption on RTs then they are in a good spot. However, the vents that link to Transit and Smelting are TOO convenient. It's so difficult to defend Flow, Smelting or Pipe, maybe Lava Falls and Conduit all while keeping Transit alive. Against a decent team, Transit is going to go down A LOT and since it's a long walk from either control point. Phase Gate there? Ok, fair enough but that point is always constantly going to be at considerate risk yet how much risk is Chasm? Very rarely thanks to alien mobility and lack of convenient routes.

Joking's aside, refinery is an open map, a lot of the coridors are open and ontop of that.. it's a very bright map, The coridors are bright, even when the power is out.
You can see aliens comming from quite the distance. Use coordinated attacks with shotguns, build forward bases like armories etc..
Get a competent team and you're more than able to win, any map really. The problem is with getting a competent team, and that's also a problem a lot of people need to take into consideration, a map isn't just 'favored' to one team or the other, none of the maps are, Aliens aren't overpowered, Marines aren't overpowered, you just need better players.

Keep in mind these are out of date. Some RTs on those have been moved or removed entirely.
They look great though. I appreciate the effort!
1. Build phase gate in turbine
AND YOU'RE DONE.
