If it took that long, doesn't that mean the game was balanced?
Not really, Blue rolled us pretty quickly for the first half, but then after that it was just ten minute rounds of trying to break through the wall of spam.
You could argue Hightower only takes so long when teams are balanced as well, along with having the added benefit of options beside "walk down corridor" and "spam gun".
There are other better Payload maps: Upward, Badwater, Swiftwater, Cashworks, Borneo, Deadwood, even an hour of Thunder Mountain would be preferable to Goldrush/Hoodoo.
Yeef can you please just make a specific OT so people can complain about Hightower. Ugggghhhhhh.
I enjoy Hightower, but if there's a better map we don't play often, I'll vote for that map.
I am part of the solution!

srsly just play goddamn arena or deathmatch then.
Stalemate hightower > Arena.
Why do you gotta hate. We must defeat hightower with LOVE.
With hightower everyone gets to play, but Arena rounds are over in like 2 minutes, and 2 minutes is much MUCH better than 30-40 minutes. Same thing with KOTH maps, which I like.

I just think it's fair to have criticisms about the map! There's no need to start an anti-criticism campaign when we can be nice and play better maps at the same time.
We should play Panic more often.
Also, I will make hightower the testing ground! Depending on the day of the week, it'll have different mods.
Mondays will be normal.
Tuesdays will be forced classes.
Wednesdays will melee-only.
Thursdays will be Friendly Fire enabled.
Friday will be class limit of 2.
Saturdays will engineers only.
Sunday will be instant repawn.
That way, if we're going to play hightower so much, at least it'll be different each time!

I may or may not actually do this, depending on my level of laziness when I get home from work on Monday.
Most of those sound like the woooooooorst.
That's not possible.

...you made me agree with losewood. I'm gunning for you if you're on.
NOBODY makes me agree with losewood.
I don't even know what your name is now.

I think if I ever play with Steve again, it'll be with mini-sentries.
I can't help but notice a distinct lack of Barnblitz
Barn blitz is a 'meh' map. It's not bad, but it's not really all that good either.
For straight up payload, Thunder Mountain and Upward are my favorites, but Thunder Mountain takes too long to play it every night.

I don't even bother to come on because we never play different maps.
I wasn't planning on playing at all tonight. Then I was you were playing watermill. I joined to play Watermill and then quit.
It's amazing how things work!
I'm surprised CS:GO didn't have the same impact as Diablo did.

Just wait until Dota 2 finally releases.
It seems like most Jank players don't want to vote for community maps for some reason. The obvious solution is for Valve to make more community maps official so they are forced to download them and then will vote for them.
Actually a second community map pack would of been a nice way to tide us over for the second half of 2012 during the content drought of the first half of the year.

No, but I await seeing what other Gaffers submit.
Amusingly people are starting to judge my old comically over-edited "entry" from back when the Saxxies were just a Forkballian myth. :U

Everyone add me in their credits. I want a Saxxy without doing any work, just like Hale intended.

When did I learn how to play pyro? It's all Baroni's fault. Poor DJ Crimson just happens to be collateral damage.
