Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Every time somebody respawned on this, I put my hands on my mouse and keyboard, ready to run out.
I think I play TF2 too much.
I am here to tell you that I had fun with you last night.
SNUGGLES.

Well on the 5 point CP maps this all makes sense, I want to see if they play any of the other maps to see how it goes.
I wasn't saying they should play those classes, especially on the 5 CP maps. I'm just curious to see what would happen if you added 5 more players to each team, that's all. I suppose you'd just increase the amount of soldiers and medics.
The Medics and Demomen....not so much.
I'm not seeing any in these videos.
Oh wait I see Mumbly's explanation, but I have to argue that Pyros are much more useful than just for killing spies. The usefulness of their flanking is unmatched. Also when ubered they have a particularly nasty killing streak.
Absolutely
I probably argue that because I play Pyro more than any class, and though my stats are lacking, I'm consistently in the top 3 or so of the team on our PA servers.

Also, can we change how much time we spend on each map by changing how often they pop up? I mean, equality is nice and all that. But last night we had 23 people on Job's, then we went to Hydro and it dropped, then it went to Granary and dropped more, and by the time we made it to dustbowl the first round of offense was a waste becuase we had like 10 people left. Naturally afterwards it filled back up. This is the players' way of telling you, server-admins, that all maps are equal, but some are more equal than others.
I'd love for Turbine to take Hydro's spot for good for example, and I haven't played the other customs, but I figure they all have to be better than Hydro/Granary anyway.
More dustbowl! Less hydro!
For every 1 person that hates hydro... there is someone that hates 2fort... and someone who hates dustbowl... and someone who hates grainery.
Get over it. If people would actually coordinate as a team, then you will either :
a) have fun
b) win quick to switch maps.
Why was the custom map server empty last night if these maps suck so much? Why is anyone playing on a PA server if they actually don't want to play with anyone? Posting here does not obligate you to play on a PA server.

Sure, there's 1 person who hates dustbowl. I understand it's subjective, which is why I tried to add some degree of objectivity to it by showing that the overall population on the servers changes depending on the maps. It's not a coincidence that the server population spikes everytime dustbowl comes up. And custom maps, whether they're good or not, have always had a tendency to kill server populations because 1. it involves downloading so a bunch of people just don't, and 2. while everyone is downloading only a few people are playing so they leave.
I didn't even know we had a custom map server, haha. I've got to go add more servers to my favorites...
And that comment 'why is anyone playing on a PA server if they actually dont want to play with anyone'... I'm not sure exactly what you said, but I'm assuming it follows the rationality "if you have anything less than sparkling positive to say, you shouldn't play", which I find particularly dumb because constructive criticism shouldn't be something to fear or loathe. We all have fun on the servers, that's why the servers still have players despite being PW protected, I'm just suggesting a way more people would have fun.
...no need to get so hostile about it.
Watching the TFTV really puts the game in a whole different light. With no sentry's in a small team game the pace of the game just ratchets up incredibly. Granted all but one of those videos was a clips show. But it still was easy to gauge the pace.

Haha, thanks man. I'm pretty below average with actual killing people skill, so I figure I should help out somewhere. There's someone else who does a lot of talking while they're playing and I love it, it really helps out (I wish I could remember who it was).

Then they run to one of the three health packs or water.

Bah, they're usually dead before they get there. Besides, it keeps them off the point, and lets the Soldier or Heavy kill them and I get an assist kill.
Yeah, it all depends on who you're playing against. Pyro on Well in a Pub is fun, not so much in mid area on private.

I burned a few PAers last night on Well, using that technique.
Uber + Medic was a fun distraction too... bonesaws are scary enough... but when they are immortal,they are downright frightening.
Too bad nobody was actually killed when I did this with goosemon last night though

Last night after my server evacuated we were messing around and discovered that you can get ammo from enemy dispensers, but not health (unless you're a disguised spy).
So that means don't destroy those enemy dispensers if they can be of use to you, and engies should definitely take theirs down if they're behind enemy lines.

Do you really need everyone to stay on? Most nights both servers are full and the only hope someone has of getting on to play is for the map to change to hydro or 2fort.

Even if it is destroyed, the pieces can be picked up for ammo as well.
I rarely have a shortage of ammo, so I'll just destroy them anyway probably.
Hm, that looks weird to me. When was this updated? Because I swear I didn’t play Turbine yesterday, and Hydro went on forever… I don’t think it was 1 win. I thought I played like 3 rounds on Hydro & Granary… maybe I was on Jon’s, but I swear I was on your server. Maybe I’m just crazy.
I didn’t know everyone hated 2fort so much… I’d suggest bringing it back, with 3-cap, but some decent time limit so people know it won’t “go on forever†(which I don’t think it does anyway, and I love CTF maps). No offense to Jon, but 1-cap 2fort is good-intentioned but the most miserable round to play… defense has no time to set up, and it just feels as if someone thought dustbowl went on for too long so they removed set up time.
Also, I wouldn’t go hydro -> granary -> dustbowl. Both of the preceding maps lose players, and dustbowl is fun with lots of players. Maybe put gravelpit after hydro or granary to get players in the game?
I hate you so much, Comcast. And if it's not comcast, i hate my roommates for being inconsiderate about uncapping their downloads. Oh well, great morning game of melee only.
