had a few fun rounds on sawmill, and a few not fun rounds. Right now it seems like a race to get the first sentry up
Well, until people stop going "OH SHIT OH SHIT SENTRY" and learn to coordinate a push quickly.
But yeah, there's something right there that separates koth from arena: there is an actual reason to have more than one engineer, because a pair of them working together get a sentry up and secure an area frighteningly quickly.
I know this word gets thrown around carelessly and entirely too often but that match on koth_sawmill yesterday was truly epic.
We, the reds, held the point and kept the blues from capturing it for the entire three minutes... until they took it in overtime.
And then they held it for the whole three minutes... until we took it back in overtime and won.
Bewteen the initial struggle for ANYONE to take the map, and the overtime shenanigans, it was like an eight minute frantic struggle for this nondescript building with giant, exposed, spinning buzzsaws in it.
And it was probably the most fun I've ever had in this game.
Oh yeah, that was great, and Sawmill is an awesome map for the new mode. Has anyone played Intelligence on it yet? How's it stack up there?
Seems like all the arena maps could work for King of the Hill and I think I'd quite enjoy that over Arena.
Also...Camera Beard for the spy is quite the "hat."

I played CTF on Sawmill a few times a couple weeks ago and it's quite fun. It can get very hectic down in the place where the intelligence is. Very bottlenecky, but in a good way.
I hope there a way for people who missed it to get one comes along soon though
the only reason I was able to get one is because I got that stupid water effect bug after the update and had to reinstall and that took hours so I wasn't actually playing the game at the time
it really sucked that this happened during the forum's down time
the whole time I was like "shiiiiiit I wanna talk to the SE++ dudes about this god damn"
I forget, after that great sawmill round, did you play on the newer koth map with us? There was some major back and forth there, a lot of emphasis on classes that have longer ranges to their advantage and clever sentry placement.
I actually stayed up too late playing and now I have a mild headache.

I got to play that map some yeah, but it was the first thing I did, so probably not in the match you're talking about
too late now, but finding easter eggs in the update pages (or getting the link from someone else who did) gave you an opportunity to sign up to get a medal the soldier could equip to his "misc." slot
although I do think that the way KotH overtime works is dumb
the first person to zero should win! end of story
instead it's like if one team reaches zero while the other team is capping the point then it goes into overtime until the first team can take the point back or something? I don't understand
like, even if the second team got their clock down to zero in overtime, the first team should win because they got to zero first
it's like if a CTF game went into overtime because one team caps for the third time but the other team still has their flag
this is how a good CTF game should work though. I mean what I'm going to say is completely irrelevant to what you're saying there, but I far preferred how CTF worked in battlefield 1942 where you had to have your flag at the base to be able to get a cap, but you could just touch your flag when it got dropped to send it back to base.
I wouldn't be opposed to that. Would make it way easier to swap possession of it, the way it is at the moment it seems that the team that gets there first usually keeps it.

That's a good question. I don't know.

Fixed Announcer overtime bug on KOTH servers using mp_timelimit
Due to many requests, added server ConVar "tf_overtime_nag". When set to 1, it keeps the broken announcer behavior

Well... it's still CTF. It's better than 2fort and Turbine, though.
Take that as you will.

As long as there's a reasonable time limit, anyhow.

honestly the major problem with 2fort is the sort of behavior that it tends to encourage in pub servers
when it pops up in a PA server it can be fun times
It was quite odd.

We were playing gravel pit as red, and blue capped two points in about a minute because our entire team was tabbed out getting that damned medal.

it counts down when someone's on it, when no one is it stands still. first person to zero wins.
