My favorite maps take care to get the small things right. Proper spawn time ratios between the teams, having forward spawns or shortcuts open up, clearly having the proper path labeled, etc. As far as good map sections go, off the top of my head, cashworks point 2. Particularly the fact that it rewa...

I believe pork bun was the admin? I do clearly remember him giving a textual warning to someone about a bad spray.

No death triggers, just a shit ton of water to fall into.

Honestly, I think we could use more rooftime variations. The idea (fighting on rooftops) is different, visually interesting, and lends itself to enabling some unusual and underused tactics.

Just, you know, let's maybe try out some different geometry? Maybe?

Agreed, and roof runner is a fun and balanced map that doesn't perma-stalemate every time. However, it's not named rooftime, and so the unwashed masses don't flock to it

Stabby's was what we played before nipper did his version, right? I guess I can go bug him. It's not too big a deal, all the stuff nipper added was pretty great but I'd rather change the formula significantly, which hasn't really been done yet.

wouldn't it taking a while to end mean it's pretty balanced? that's how maps were judged with natural selection at least There's a bunch of stuff I can go into if anyone is actually curious about the game design, but in short, just know that Valve is pretty heavily anti-stalemate with TF2. Natural ...

I didn't say anything about spawn doors, why do you people keep talking about spawn doors? There's more than one map that has doors scattered around it that have breakable triggers. Next time you play a map, just imagine a door in the middle of any hallway, and imagine what would happen if one perso...

On some maps, it's possible to break door triggers by standing near them in certain spots, preventing anyone from going through. This is universally accepted to be a bannable offense. Blocking the elevators is analogous: by simply standing there you prevent either team from using some part of the ma...

None of these are better than the gay Nazi cyborg furry porn some guy on Reddit found in his sprays folder. I'm actually kinda disappointed in my folder. Its about 40% bad memes, 30% non-porn pony fanart, 10% non-pony non-porn fanart, 10% anime softcore porn (or fanart, can't really tell), and abou...

This was a good night.

Think of it this way: if you're playing rooftime, maybe you deserve a sentry in your spawn.

The worst part of tf4, and the cause of most game imbalances, is the sizable population of people who actively do not want to participate in the actual playing of the game. See: anytime we play rooftime. The second most prominent cause of game imbalance is the double overheal. Its effect is less fel...

I can appreciate a good ol' bit of mic rage, and I probably indulge in it a bit too much myself. Tips: 1. Get a wife. Shouting angry things randomly seems a lot sillier when there's someone else in the room. 2. Turn down your mic transmit volume. No one cares if you're raging if it's at a whisper. 3...
