KotH Bagel (2020) rc10

[Yrr]

One week before the events of Doomsday, an Australium Reserve storage site prepares to send its shipment to Mann Co.

Vote on the workshop!​

Bagel is a unique King of the Hill map that started development in 2016. You may recognise it as the base for "Cauldron" from Scream Fortress X.

Designed around a raised central capture area, flanked by side buildings, the goal was to provide many different strategic options to both take and hold the point. Development was driven by both competitive feedback and frequent casual playtests, to make sure the map was enjoyable in both contexts.

This version incorporates a lot of the gameplay and visual updates made for Cauldron, as well as some new visual elements and further improvement and polish.

What's fall though

Fall is when gravity overcomes an object's inertia and the object proceeds to accelerate towards the larger body's center of mass, usually occurring undesirably resulting in unwanted motion. For instance, during the season of Autumn, the leaves of trees break off with the help of some wind and fall towards the ground.

What's fall though

shorter than "autumn" in a filename

I'm glad to see you fixed the biggest problem with Bagel

 

[Yrr]

I'm glad to see you fixed the biggest problem with Bagel

it not being autumnal?

It looks quite appealing, though it's not quite as tasty as "plain" Bagel. Funnily enough, I had the exact same reaction when the local bagel store started selling pumpkin bagels.

You know, for most of my life I've never really stopped to watch the trees transform in autumn, but this year I took the time to observe their transition. It's probably because of that that I look at this map and I wonder to myself, "Where are all those dead leaves coming from?" There are a handful of trees that have recently shed their leaves outside of the map, but those are distant from many of the surfaces covered in leaves. As nice as the map looks covered in orange, I don't think I've ever seen something like that in real life without trees nearby which produced the leaves in the first place. It's a weird criticism, and maybe other fall-themed maps are guilty of the same problem (though not Harvest), but it's something that really sticks out to me for some reason.

a lot of the orange is grass, with leaves clustered around some of the pumpkins but yea its not Hugely realistic about it

 

[TyeZenneth]

fall is my favorite tf2 event

 

[EArkham]

Was literally expecting to see falling bagels.

 

[Beef Bucket]

I just realized Zed already made this joke. At the time I didn't realize he was referencing Titanfall and thought he just wanted to see some giant robot confectionery and dammit, so do I

[BigfootBeto]

All those people disagreeing with physics smh

 

[Another Bad Pun]

I've done some soul searching and determined that this unintended jump is far too difficult

p.s. make it frontline

this is intentional, i made sure you couldnt do it when i was making the event version

theres uh, certain classes id rather not get up there that easily


(also what does "make it frontline" mean beyond "add 200gb and 20 contributors")

 

[FloofCollie]

This looks gorgeous.
