[TF2] Thread 10! Server back up

[_Quietus_]

It would sure be sweet if you could switch your minigun with sandvich

I've also been doing illogically well as fat scout.
Doing things like getting direct hits with the shotgun three times in a row on soldiers.

[MESIAS_ROCKET]

I fucking love Cashworks.
It's one of my favorite maps. Also, Garbage Day is a good koth map.

Landing 3 shots in a row on a slow target while moving at the speed of fat yourself isn't doing "illogically well"

On the subject of custom maps, weren't we planning to test out koth_megaman? I seem to remember it being suggested at some point, and i'd love to see it on the rotation. Fun map, and I think there's even a vsh version floating around somewhere.

[forkinyoureye]

Ah yes, koth_megaman. I remember that map. It was quite fun.

[Lazyboy21350]

Already suggested it to Bec himself. Claims its too silly for the server.

Also theres an arena version of the map we can use for VSH

[Red709]

The only thing worse than KOTH_Megaman is Arena_Cow

Any game where you dominate as medieval medic is fun.

Not to mention there's a thing called subjectivity.

Exactly, and that's his subjective opinion :1
Everyone who has played TF2 knows the word subjective by now.

There's also this thing called "Bec runs the fucking server, if you do not like his map selections then sucks to your asmar buddy"

Shenanigans-only maps are generally pretty bad. They have a habit of clearing out servers.

I don't see what this has to do with that post...

[Jacquerel]

The lack of quote nesting makes it pretty easy to misinterpret the context and read that as a jab at Bec's subjective opinion and how for some reason it should not be applied to the running of the server, rather than of Red's

[Chirality]

So, who else is really curious about the upcoming "man versus machine" game mode?

[Jacquerel]

I am, although I haven't played much TF2 in a while
Diablo and Dota and other games beginning with D are eating my time

[Bandages]

Diablo, Dota, and D&D

Yep

It's a deathmatch against a team composed of bots
I'm not joking

[Jacquerel]

You don't need to be joking when you're far from an official source

Hey everyone get on scratch right now, you're missing the party

I'm sorry but no amount of worth can redeem arena_megaman (imo) because TomahawkMan stage exists

also while I'll respect Bec's decision if he DOES add that map, the same way I'd respect it if he added Cow, expect me to disconnect every time either shows up.

Because anyone who can suffer through an entire game on a map full of nothing but cardboard cows is stronger than I

I mean really how do you even PLAY on cow
at all

would it make you feel better if i told you nobody plays arena_cow?

they all play koth_saw, the same map with saws instead of cows

[williamcll]

It's not.

I would actually want a bot match, seeing that there still isn't much training mode levels.

[_Quietus_]

Hey, is it just me, or would turbine make a great koth?

[ArmsAreLoud]

The problem with Turbine is already how easy it is to lock down mid, making it a koth map would be worse

[_Quietus_]

I was just thinking about that.
The reason why it's so easy to lock down turbine mid is because the only way to get into it is because you can't get a line of sight into most of mid without stepping out into it.
This is the map is composed of various choke points, the only point on the map that isn't a choke being mid, of course.
As you can see by this diagram

Legend:
/ = Border between area in line of sight of mid, and area not in line of sight of mid
o = Possible places where a sentry gun would occupy a choke

There are doors, stairs, walls, and blind corners that all contribute to making mid an easy point to defend.
The overious solution to this is making minor adjustments in the composition of the map, in such a way that would allow a wider line of sight, and more area connecting to mid.
I'll think of something later
