So many shitty pub maps would be tolerable as 6v6 maps. Anything but all this fucking koth madness.

Also a bit sad about how poorly integrated that streaming list is. Should just replace Ms Pauling or be a wide banner at the bottom. The whole menu is a mess, and that RiFT code thing is still there, for god knows what reason.

What I've seen looks good, I'm just hoping they didn't cut down on the whole 'asian mythos' feel to it. Nothing explained, weird bosses, people still finding out the lore years later.

He's beyond a meme at this point. From a decent bloke to potentially a memer to 'hey let's just go with it for easy views'. The people who comment or care about youtube videos are a minority. He'll continue to get views from kids on tablets, sadly.

This system makes no fucking sense. First let's give everyone free access to the stress test, then pump out passes like the plague, so 90% of that steam group gets into the closed beta anyway.

Should be banned.

That twitter has more legitimate discussion than his casting.

How would this remotely affect the public's view on TF2 in regards to MM? People who aren't into TF2 aren't waiting for it to drop, so they can become the best around. At most it'll tease a few current players into it, when they suddenly see the button on their main menu. Casting will probably stay the same even after MM drops. There's no 'new standard' to keep because we're getting MM.

Doesn't mean casting shouldn't be a responsibility to delivering entertainment (which seems to be forgotten by a few casters cough) regardless of audience.

Holy shit. Wish more custom maps would use these mirror's edge/CS colors. Maybe not every second map but certainly more interesting than the usual gritty construction site stuff.

How did you reach div 2 with those opinions? "More exciting" yeah because a double airshot has the same hype potential as a flash that is always thrown over one of two walls every round. Wew lad.

inb4 someone posts a list of all the comp players that passed. I know at least one that is still getting commented on.

So not only is he not a 6v6 or lolhl player, he's a youtube pubstar, who thinks he knows shit about what's the most 'fun' to play in a semi-serious environment?

Didn't he die from cancer or something at one point, or was that a stunt? Regardless he sure talks a lot of shit for a nobody.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Make 2-3 drastically different maps and have some big boys try them out.

In reality having the container high ground doesn't matter -that- much beyond the initial bomb but it's like the only real area to hold on last. On the right you have some gimmicky shit going on at best, but at the same time it's a really rewarding hold if it works.

It's just a rare occurrence that open/low mid teams can pull that sorta stuff off, and in reality, that's probably your target group with MM and all.

M-muh once-a-year spot, it's not a bug! etc.

Yeah but when do you hold -that- far forward? Backpedaling to get highground on a team that is most likely already bombing you seems really odd. I was mostly thinking in terms of defending. Running out to a 2v3 in front of the point, where defending should have an edge.

I can understand how it motivates holding a bit more forward, but the dead-zone behind it still doesn't see much action. Obviously you shouldn't need to use every spot of an area but it's almost a disadvantage to fall back there.

If they get a soldier/demo in from drop-down you're at an insane disadvantage that shouldn't reward the attacker to this degree. You should have an easier time defending than attacking a last, which is what I assume is the reasoning behind having the map carve downwards in the middle like on badlands, so having one of 3 high grounds in the area be rewarded to the attacker because there are no stickies or whatever, seems a little odd.

Having had to defend last a million times (cusbad), that one left area just makes little sense, and it's like storming Omaha to respawn over there if you're fighting for last, and you might as well be dead if you run back for health due to how walled in the last point itself is.

Both Gully and Badlands puts you on high ground to give you an edge. Here, you go left and hope they just happen to not have anyone present on half the last area of the map, or go right and have a sneaky opportunity to do something, since you're somewhat hidden behind the truck.

I have no idea how you'd fix/change it, but considering you're mucking about before the next official version, I'd say try some things out.

Not really sure if I like this ramp:

I like how it's less compact than the current version, but the fact it's angled towards the attacker seems a little odd, as you're already incredibly fucked if you're stuck on the flat ground by that spawn area.

I still don't get the pootis thing. It's as old as TF2 itself. Is the ironic usage the meme?
