Thread: Map Enjoyment

For the most part, I like the game and don't like the maps.

ctf_mach2 - Hate it. The mapper fell asleep and forgot to provide ways to move around inside a base. Fall into the intel chambre? Either you go outside and get sniped or you wait around for action to come to you.
cp_gravelpit - It's an excellent map but I don't have much fun there for some reason.
cp_castle - It's pretty good and I shoudl've voted it up and forgot, but the last point always seems to drag on forever.
cp_dustbowl - Very repetitive feeling.
cp_granary - Precisely okay. Feels like a mapping standard more than anything, though.
ctf_stronghold_b5 - Is this the one with the vents that run between the center, a spawn, and the intel ceiling? If so, it's cute, and one of the better CTFs around, but I don't enjoy it much.
cp_well - I love it. Well, that's a bit strong, but it moves, it requires organisation to attack and defend, sentries won't hold the bases, and you can manage a comeback. Plus, the choo choo hates everyone equally.
cp_lazytown - Yawn. Whoever decided the snipers should get a magic clubhouse where no one can attack them and then give them access to defend two points at once needs a slap. Also, without moving spawns, the TF2 Momentum Effect never happens. You can't get to the final point once you take the penulitmate because you spend more time running to the battle than actually fighting.
ctf_2fort - 2Boring. Even if you manage to get the intel despite the three engineers' guns in the way, you can't get out because both "exits" take you to the same path. Heck, one gun can guard BOTH ways out of the intel since it can see both straight stairs and spiral. As soon as you touch it, the defending team knows exactly where you are going to be. There's no chance to be sneaky or split their defence. And then it's American Football, sending in three guys to move the intel two yards to keep it alive until you slip a scout through and then it's nothing but daylight. Which happens once in a 60 minute game.
tc_hydro - Most of the sections are good; a couple are lame. I like it on all sections though; it keeps people thinking.


I should make a map. I promised CSS one, but TF2 is superior.
