I don't think teams are stacked as often as people like to say they are. I mean a lot of times a team gets steamrolled they'll have like 1 (or 0) medics and 4 snipers. A lot of people don't pay attention to class diversity and just play whichever class they feel like playing.Zerokku said:
Of course there are times when the teams are stacked, but it's not that common, especially compared to what I've seen on other servers.
Also, if you're playing a class that doesn't need setup (everything except medic and MAYBE demo man) you should really switch to engie for a few seconds during setup to help the engineers upgrade their stuff quickly right away.

So who here likes Turbine, and can you explain why? It's such a terrible map in my opinion, but it gets so much play. Snipers love it because of all the clean lines and being able to cover all three exits on the enemy side, and two out of three routes to the intel go right past the enemy spawn, with the third having a high ledge usually stacked with sentries that Spies generally can't reach. (Especially now that Engineers can drop a Dispenser, jump up there, then pick their Dispenser up without wasting it.) Even if you push through those with an uber, you've probably got to have a second uber for the sentries in the intel room, which is also one staircase away from the enemy spawn.
And please don't quote and bold "Snipers love it" and say that's my answer. You know that doesn't really explain it.

Oh...umm...nah I hate it.
I like doublecross (most of the time). For some reason it seems to have the effect o making people both ignore the sewer route and build little/nothing in the intel room. I don't know why but 9 times out of 10 when I play that map that's the case.Jangaroo said:
But, yes, Turbine is awful. They should just take 2fort, Turbine and Hydro out of the game.

I know there are plenty of people that have attempted to make CP versions of Hydro.

It's much more efficient to defend the main inner hall in doublecross as you have to pass through it no matter what route you take unless you're a soldier or demo, and since engies like to get kills just like anyone else they set up where the action is.
The same is true of 2fort, attackers have to pass through the square courtyard eventually, or else jump up and cut in front of spawn. Either way one sentry at the top of the stairs to the right of spawn can cover every single entry point.
The map I made is different in that it has two separate routes from the front of the base straight to the intel room, and you never have to pass directly by the enemy spawn unless you want to cut across the base.
I'll add it to th eGAF server to try out once you're comfortable with the release. Is it below 64megs? That'll make it much easier for other people to get it since the server won't upload anything larger.Confidence Man said:
Lem is also working on a map. His is a PLR based on 2fort.

Thanks, I'll let you know. It's around 22mb atm. Shouldn't be too much larger as there aren't any custom assets.

Maybe I can do a poster somewhere with the logo.

Wrong. From the intel room you can head straight into the sewers pretty quickly. Sure to get to the intel takes some work and you might have to pass the hall a bit, getting out with the intel is as simple as walking towards/into the side building, jumping over the rail into the sewers. The way the stairwell is set in the hall, when coming from the sewers its actually usually really easy to get into that area without getting hit by a sentry, particularly with where engies typically put their sentries.
I play too much doublecross. One of my favorite maps.

I don't know if that will help your audio settings and whatnot, though. Have you been watching demos or anything?
Edit: You also might want to check your steam cloud syncing. Could be an issue there.
Spy sappin' mah sentry! I was surprised that I managed to sap all that stuff on upward. A medic actually saw me at the spawn, started healing me then attacked when he bumped into me. I managed to evade him for like 20 seconds before he decided to just move on.
I'm still kinda mad that I had a refined metal disappear last night. I was all ready to craft a hat and everything. Hopefully it reappears automagically soon.

The problem was with the cfg folder, found a solution after a couple google searches. Which was to move the cfg folder so it could make a new one, tried it and it worked, deleted my old cfg. Thanks for helping me get pointed in the right direction, much appreciated.Boonoo said:

Do you guys play mostly Payload ? (For some reason I enjoy it a significant amount more than any other mode)
Java invited me tonight, and I think he proceeded to lose every game despite some being really close. Despite the crazy power of scores and drunken Java:
...we still did no better than tying.
He finally left before seeing us be victorious on dustbowl offense (I turned tail and ran before I had a chance to lose on defense).

I had to bail since I'm a lightweight. 4.32 oz of pure Ethanol puts me in a happy place.
He might have been complaining when I suggested our team might be stacked because of the scores, I dunno. I would hate to have seen what would have happened if we hadn't had so many points. :lol It was even, but too stressful.esc said:
It is Blizzard's fault, I hate that guy Blizzard. He kept getting dominated by Silencer.Jangaroo said:
AHA!!! You admit to the fact that you radiate bad luck 24/7. Begone you. And he kept dominating me too. He's godly with that Direct Hit I tell you. Java does better when he's drunk. Somebody send that man more caskets.Blizzard said:It is Blizzard's fault, I hate that guy Blizzard. He kept getting dominated by Silencer.
