Haha, Valve is never on time.

But that is 100% a joke. They're just putting this in to make us laugh or make us worry.


Gonna have to take a look at egypt soon.

Lies! That map is beyond repair...

 

[Icarus]

It is. and what is this? Oh my god... it's the mystical THIRD STAGE ZOMG NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A MYTH

Cmon Ic, that's a little unfair don't you think? Especially since I've yet to see the 4th stage of the map...

 

[Ida]

Those Egypt changes are interesting. I've always wanted to like that map, but it's just no fun. Maybe this will help.

Did Valve take control of Egypt then? I.E. presumably they made these changes rather than the original map author.

I'm not overly sold on Egypt as a working map, hopefully these changes do improve it but it seemed rather large and open which always had me.. incapable of immersing myself in the gameplay.

The original author made the changes. I playtested a beta of the new version on a server a while ago, he was in there collecting feedback before sending it to VALVe.

My bet is Valve looked at their first round of stats on Egypt, saw 90% wins on defense, and decided something needed to change pronto

 

[Icarus]

Once again, Valve had little part in the Egypt update. It was done entirely by Heyo himself.
