Putting more thought in this... maybe Badwater would be better. Is it possible to re-vote?

One could argue the same about 2Fort, and according to the results of this poll thus far, any Payload map in general.
I'm biased on the subject as I love Hightower (and Upward for that matter); but you're not going to please everybody no matter what map gets chosen. Just remember; we'll always have Dustbowl and Turbine. They're successful servers and likely not going anywhere anytime soon.
I see this as an experiment, because people's tastes and needs for maps change over time. With the Valve servers going to the new system, and various community servers/communities shutting down due to the Quickplay changes, perhaps there's a larger market for these maps than there was in the past. Do I know this for sure? Absolutely not. But I dare say it's worth a shot.
Then what's the point of having Hightower when we could always go to Turbine?
From my point of view I see Dustbowl as a map I can hop in, have some fun and go all tryhard worrying about my kd and stuff and take the game a bit more serious, and Turbine as the place I can go and casually play without worrying much, because it's more of a death match kinda playstyle, but sometimes I find myself bored of Dustbowl's Control Points, and Turbine's playstyle, and all that's left it's payload for me, and now that we are given a chance to have a Payload server why waste it on a map that it's pretty much exactly like Turbine? Isn't that why 2fort failed to begin with?

2Fort has the ability to fill with an actual effort to do so. Obviously, time of day is a factor, as is the map itself, but I think the real problem is getting a map that people want to fill.
Personally, I despise Turbine if I'm going to be frank about it. It's not that it's a bad map, I personally simply feel that it doesn't match my personal playstyle as a soldier and sniper as well as Hightower. From my own point of view, I'd be more likely to join a Hightower server than a Turbine server, as I know various other soldier mains and perhaps even sniper mains would agree.
Now, let's look at it from another point of view - 2Fort is the default TF2 map that many players were first introduced to. Its simplistic design and straightforward playstyle make it easier to get the hang of, and it was a stepping stone for Team Fortress Classic players, and indirectly, original Team Fortress mod players. As such... it's been around forever and a half, and is frankly overplayed. The amount of 2Fort servers out there is insane. The amount of servers for any of these choices is less so, and therefore we - at least theoretically - have a larger chance to properly gain players.
That is all.
