Pfft...Egypt...
3 engies = ultimate defense if they know what they're doing.

Pretty much. It takes two stickies to destroy everything you built. When I play it, normally there are at least 2 or 3 Demos each with their exclusive medic. Terrible fucking map that gives far too much to demo spam. Which is already the most unbalanced part of the game. It's like the last point in Hydro.derFeef said:

Also, does anyone else have recent ping issues on F7? I cannot play there anymore because my ping has increased by at least 50, starting last week. Lots of warping going on.
Yeah, Uber Demos on Egypt are fine until you run into Pyros. You need Heavies out in front first killing the Pyros to even have a chance, and because (say the third map in Egypt) is so wide open, the Demoman will never destroy every sentry.
I know it sounds pro to say 'lol Demo-Medic destroys everything lol sentries' though.

Pfft. Put me on def as med with uber and a decent pyro and it's game over. My issue is that it's just TOO easy to defend. There are only two areas to attack from: Front and Side.
Front, can be covered by mere spam and bodies alone. Sentry guns will hit you practically anywhere. To get TO the sentry guns is a pain in the neck since it's near their spawn and behind those stupid boxes.
Side, sentry guns that already cover the front also cover the side. Everyone knows about and uses the side entrances to sneak attack. Engies can't build up on the other side since it's not protected.
Although I don't like the new maps, one thing I DO like is how there are 3 ways to attack a position for every point. There's just enough there for an attacking team to take down a decent defense.
Jason, ping issues were because of their update to their own servers. People were getting disconnected and not able to get reconnected in the past few days. SHOULD be clear now, but you never know.
I have no opinion on cold front since I only played it twice. There's a lot of ambush areas for pyros so I really liked that but it's kind of hard to find a good point to be a sniper since it's easy for enemies to sneak around back and backstab you.

I've never played Cold Front, not even once. I blame everyone except the one other person who voted for it as well.
I guess not. It seems that I only like King of the Hill, Payload, and Attack/Defend.rar said:
I may warm up to Capture the Flag, but I can at least say I hate 2Fort.
Didn't help that for the first few days the map wasn't on the cycle.
I am a bit surprised more people didn't do what I did and just find servers hosting them, and play all 4 maps when they first came out.
I like Upward a lot, and Thunder Mountain is pretty fun to. I also really like Hightower, but it seems a lot of people hate that map.

I like hightower too, but it could use some a little bit more work to make it great (or in other people's mind, playable). I'm ambivalent towards Upward. Thundermountain I like, but haven't played the third stage all that much.
Next update I hope they include panic.

I love upward, definitely my favorite map at the moment. Not a big fan of Hightower, and thunder mountain is alright. Cold front is a pretty straightforward 5cp map, and it's fun, but many of the times I've played on it have resulted in stalemates where it takes forever for a team to win.

Despite my dislike for the map, I would probably enjoy it a lot if they simply rebalanced it a bit. Maybe a longer spawn at CP2 for red and a little more protection for building on Blue offensive. Then again, with the movable engineer stuff maybe blue stands a better chance now.

I was going to play Alien Swarm tonight anyway... now I just need to make sure I finish 2 coop maps. :lol
I am such a hat whore.
Where's Episode 3, so we can get a headcrab hat... Alien Swarm hat looks similar in the icon, but I want Lamarr!

I would say if pyros are constantly getting close to the demo man, something is wrong with the demo man(Or team) on Egypt. They should be able to wreck some shit pretty easily till the 3 stage, 2nd point.EvilMario said:
Not to say the map is any good, it's a terrible map. But it's well suited for demos/medic combo.

That parasite thingamajigger isn't a limited thing, is it? I can get it any time? (On vacation now. Rather not play Alien Swarm on my shitty laptop and waste vacation time. (Wouldn't bother if I had to, anyway.))

I've just started playing this game again. Up to a whopping 10 hours played! I tried to get my spy on, but I think you need to be a bit more familiar with the game than I am to get the best out of that class. Sneaking up behind a bunch of folk facing the other way and taking down 3-4 at once is a lot of fun, though!
My goal in the game so far is to obtain the "modest pile of hat" since that's the coolest name I've ever heard
Is pyro still a good class for a newbie to go with? I tried medic, but unless there's a heavy on the team, everyone seems to go from full -> dead instantly regardless of whether I'm healing them or not.

I used to hate harvest too. Felt it was too open for scouts, sniper haven, not bad for spies, and a number of other things. Honestly, Scouts can rip that place up, and it gets on my nerves at times.rhfb said:
However, because of the control point providing a modest amount of cover, a Heavy/Medic combo can thrive there. There aren't many places for Soldiers and Demos to get height advantage, but the places that are there are very good but also not too difficult to shoot them off of, even on the ground. Because of the rocket jumps to take roofs and the Scouts and Spies roaming about, it's a very good map for offensive engineering, and whenever I didn't have enough support to play Medic or Heavy, that's what I'd proceed to do to great effect. Now I need to try it again now that the Engie update has hit.
