Winter Tournament - Map Thread

[trog]

Um fourway is pretty bad. It feels cramped and filled with awkward jumps, and I feel like the team that jellos the most wins

>Aquaduct
what

what is this i don't even

oh right, this is one map that earned my ire because people said it was good art when everything was blatantly stolen. It says on my map thread that the art is from montane

you're not selling me though. you basically said 'yeh, here's my map, people have played it before.' that's not a reason, tell me its competitive value.I was asking for peoples opinion

I guess this means I need to get in touch with NAGN and force him to host a private server with some people to help playtest these.

I know, and people still called it good, no fault of yours. Being an artist, that pissed me off.

>People's opinions

I thought you were suggesting it be put up.

[[BH] sHN3T]

No
I was wondering if people wanted it up

[RebelINS]

This thread is not for asking for criticisms on your own maps. It's for suggesting maps to be used in the tournament with good justification.

You can't approach this thread with the mentality of 'here's a map; do you guys want it?' It has to be more like 'here is a map and here is why it should be used'.

No Alex, that's the exact size of fourway. I always haaated playing on it but I suppose playing it competitively is always a little different story. We'd definitely see some unique defenses I guess??? Definitely a map that would need to be tested..

I'll add Offblast's art to my list of things that I say I'll do but will probably end up totally forgetting about. I think it will do pretty well in low player count matches, but I haven't tried it with 1 class limits.

Haven't played Aquaduct.

Have lots of maps I'd like to try, not going to nominate them until I've played them though.

Get a host and I'll play them with you.

unique defenses

hmm i guess we could see some interesting offclasses like scout to engie

wait, maybe even medic to engie and scout to spy

[Baffle-Boy]

i vouch for offblast, very fun, very balanced, and the size is perfect for 4v4.
and the new aquaduct isn't bad, but is still missing a few things before it's completely ready (mostly a hole in the middle of that platform above the point to avoid people camping down there)

also i can host a server with all the maps you want tested once you have them sorted out.

[trog]

um you don't need a hole to stop that. The cp place is just asking to be spammed from the sides, and it's not rocket science to do that.

hm someone noticed the hint


but yeah just rocketspoom them

[Baffle-Boy]

that becomes annoying as the person in there can do the same. but even worse, on the flipside a deto can spam onto people on the point as well. maybe i dont know how to fix it, but it needs fixing.

enough about that one map. should i set up a server that hosts all of the maps in the pool once we have decided them?

[trog]

Anyone at the top can step back 2 pixels and be untouchable by rockets. People on the bottom can't do that.

So wait trog are you saying it's good or not good?
