You could of just told me I was wrong, listed why I was wrong, and I would of agreed with you. You didn't have to bitch about minus frags and call me stupid to prove that I was wrong.

mustardoverlordhowever, the level of negative feedback for ALL the maps listed thus far pales in comparison to the feedback that logjam has received. I can barely think of a single prem eu player/team that liked it in the slightest. I don't care if hyce is a nice guy who is still updating it, some maps are fundamentally broken to begin with. if a drug unequivocally fails its first clinical trial, they aren't going to push it on more people before changing it or scrapping it for a new product. I don't see why we need to be lab rats for a map that the last set of lab rats already rejected.

I may be a bit biased but I don't think that the drug trial/lab rats analogy fits in this case. Logjam got thrown into ETF2L during mid beta and it was honestly a really bad move to do that. That's partially on me and partially on the ETF2L admins who chose/allowed to put it in. It was overyhyped by people playing mixes. Most didn't like it in the first season it got played. Most said it was better in the second season, with the glaring issue being the mid.

I completely rebuilt the mid after that season. I think it's a lot better. I know it needs a little tweaking but I'm not sure what it needs. I wouldn't say that it's just throwing the same map at a different group of people at all.

That being said it looks like granary is getting voted back in and I only hope that they will choose to make it the pro version instead. Maybe there will be a chance for Logjam next season. If not I've wasted a large amount of time for next to nothing.

Hyce without taking an unnecessary amount of energy into breaking down what's wrong with logjam, I'd say easily the biggest flaw is the way mid -> 2nd plays out. First of all there's no real place to hold mid. In the last version I played (this may have changed) there were 5 entrances to mid and 2 of which were like in a separate room that made no sense. Then, in order to push into 2nd you have to walk into 6 people standing on top of a spire that can see everything and just have to jump over a wall to escape because chasing around that wall takes ~5 seconds.

mustardoverlordDeerWhatever happened to coalplant?
mixup hated it so it got voted out

for the koth map: uhhhh point was on lowground. cap, move to high ground, ???, profit.

for the 5 cp: shit was like 11.3 miles long.

aside from getting gran_pro in we really should spend more time w the map makers fixing sunshine/metalworks so they can get to process/snake/gully level of enjoyment/non shittiness

As the map stands what is the major complaints about Sunshine if so many people dislike it apparently. Bc after the sniper sightline on right spawn was fixed in this last update I don't really know what is so bad about the map and personally enjoy it.

I agree. From my standpoint it plays very similarly to process. The mid is wide open with some key high points on either side, the second point has a fairly easy to defend spire-like structure and the last has a lot of entrances that all funnel toward the point

CS is A/D maps so why can't TF2, the superior game, have them?

The dynamic strategies people come up with for CS is crazy, I would love to be able to watch different 'executes' and different adaptations from either teams on an easy to understand/fun/good map.

make it work

the beauty of cs is that everyone makes new things work for them, if you do the same thing in tf2 and do it right the meta can be changed.

the word 'meta' really sucks

i feel like if we voted logjam in it would be so much better than hearing people complain about normal gran for another season.

It just means 'what works'

Also you can't equate de_ maps in cs to a/d here they're totally different.

Looks like we're stuck with Granary for at least another season. Hopefully it will be Granary Pro. If anyone who voted against logjam wants to say something I'd appreciate any feedback here: http://www.teamfortress.tv/14370/cp-logjam-5cp

Ma3laaThe map pool is fine as it is but changing granary to the pro version should definitely happen.

Also I have to say I think it would be really great to try to incorporate some good attack defend maps if any mapper would ever be willing to give it a shot.

- A/D provides comp tf2 something that it really doesn't have at all, that being prepared strats. There really is no opportunity right now for a lesser team in individual DM/skill to ever upset a better team through preparing with some new strategies or new ways to play a map to outplay an "on paper" better team.
- A/D provides without question some really exciting matches just from the nature of the gamemode, forcing people to push etc. Not to mention new strategies are cool to see in action.
- Valve will surely include A/D maybe even payload in MM, payload really wouldn't work but A/d could if good maps were made. With the steam workshop any good maps we like to play could become popular enough that valve would definitely put them into a contract mission or something like that officially adding them to the game.
- It's way easier of a game mode to understand to people that aren't extremely familiar with how 5cp/comp tf2 works as an outside viewer on twitch.

It doesn't necessarily have to be in the gpit style of A/D with multiple points it could be the dustbowl style of it as well, would just be fun to try and it has always been really fun to watch. It would add the ability for teams to use different strategies with other classes and potential for worse on paper teams to beat "better" teams with research and preparation.

Probably a good idea for A/D, I know this is repeated a lot, but now is the time to try and help Valve help us, in this case, by trying to add another game mode that lots of players enjoy.
