CP Furnace Creek rc

Would put this in our PUG rotation when spawn times are fixed

What's wrong with them?

this map is well put together but caping points is almost imposible unless you have a lot of pyros, heavys, or a scout

I definitely disagree it takes more organization to defend.

 

[kankle_king]

The defense spawns are too short, its too easy to defend.

*cough*you're wrong*cough*

Too hard to defend more like. not that that's going to change dramatically.

EDIT: that said if you're not playing with a standard 12v12 pub style it could well be much harder to attack.. make sure your players know the map.

played a pug on thisjust now with some of the 2f2f, mangy, FM, connect four amongs others.. we didn't have too much problem getting to the end at all.

 

[Cerious]

I'll be using this map for that TF2M69 thing - is there any possibility of an rc coming out before 8/7 (friday) so I can use it immediately for the match, or should I just stick with b3?

 

[Nineaxis]

Stick with B3.

Floating spawn room door slider wheel (SRDSW). What is it with these things? Am I the only one seeing them?

You can build a dispenser here, then build a teleporter on top of there, then build an SG in front of their spawn (before the visualizer, of course). I'm not sure you know, but it might be considered a bad thing by most when the map hits pubs.

Ever played Gravel Pit? I heard its a kinda old map and it has a similar bug [/sarcastic]

Yeah, but I agree, gravelpit has that but why should furnace?
It might be a bit late to change that though, and it's not really that big of a problem

 

[Radaka]

It really isn't a problem. Even if red does build a sentry there it'll just get destroyed within half of a minute. Sentries around the points where you have teammates hanging around are more effective anyways

I think its funny when you ask for comp feedback, and then don't listen or try to fix the problem. Since beta1 comp players have been telling you to change the spawn times, and they never got changed. Sure it might be fine for 12v12, and nothing is wrong with that. BUT when you ask for feedback b/c you wanted to make a comp Gpit style map, then simply tell us we're wrong, you are hurting yourself. Good luck getting your map played in comp.

Maybe you should just release a final right from the get go if you don't like feedback.

He is still asking for feedback hes not sure what to do about comp play he wants to test it first, Dont be such a dick you dont have to play this map.

i hate those too:cursing:

 

[Terr]

AFAIK those are just part of the model... it seems the modeler assumed the doors would always occur in areas of low ceilings so that the little garage-door motor is bolted to the ceiling brush.

It could be fixed by having a wooden beam project out to anchor it, and then use an 45-degree angled beam to help "secure" the thing. There's a certain prop (light on REDs outside base on 2fort) that has a similar architecture.

Thanks Icarus!

 

[Waif]

Cool, but not really needed. Its not really a new gametype or anything, same concept as good old G-Pit.

 

[Icarus]

I don't follow your logic. Maps can't have more than the bare minimum?

Why include menu photos? Why have mission directives? why have a .txt? Why name the CPs, heck, or even bother to detail the map?

If you can, why not? It makes the map that much more complete.
