this was way more fun for me than highlander even if they forced the mappool to be very similar
a bit of a shame that the admins wanted it to be "highlander with less players" but it was a really fun mode regardless and probably even easier to get into than HL
i still think 6v6 classlimit 1 would've been better but i guess that won't happen and if it did the HL mains behind it would make it on payload maps anyway

im gonna agree with this because i autistically believe that all the rules should be written down instead of just be word of mouth and because i love his accent and he should voice heavy weapons guy

edit:
i mean if the purpose of sandbagging rules is to avoid situations like this, they are clearly overdoing it on HL, and underdoing it in 6v6 where each player counts a lot more. Besides regardless of that theres no clear rules and its up to admins to personally choose

seems like rolling out left side is way better for demo while everyone else should go right side
mid and lobby/last feel great to play on, but 2nd is a bit too big and i wouldnt know where to hold on it
it could be interesting to replace the pillar under the mid point with a small healthpack for some risk-reward
Full playtest

biggest problem of the map is how fast the attacker spawns are when you're defending last, making it extremelly hard to recapture 2nd when the guy you kill spawns in about 6 seconds right next to lobby
example: https://youtu.be/CEWvXXs1PrM?t=1150 (check scoreboard)
theres also a lack of healthkits and ammo in general and the mid feels pretty flat and lacking high ground

i guess you could tell people to run their in-house mixes on mixchamp since its nearly empty most of the time anyway, but they might aswell do it on pugchamp in slow hours
whats the difference with mixchamp anyway? does it autobalance teams or something like that?

did u remember to put the thermal paste?
maybe some of your case fans are aiming the opposite side and keeping hot air in
usually you need to have the fans aim towards the back of the case

ouch, not even promo items for tf2

It would be interesting to have an archive of mapper interviews where they talk about their development process or give advice. Post them here if you find any!

Over the past few years, Team Fortress 2 has been receiving far less attention from developers. Yet the game is still very much relevant. We can continue to wait in endless anticipation. But we also can take the initiative in our own hands! The goal of this project is to try and make unofficial updates to our beloved game with the help of community created content and, very importantly – with the authentic Team Fortress 2 spirit in mind.

people whose primarly language isnt english often dont realize the "weight" of certain words ^^"
i think speaking a foreign language also forces you to be less toxic because you dont have 100% fluency and cant express your anger that well, while being a native speaker you can curse, mock, and insult with fluency and then laugh when someone else tries to rage with their broken english

oh i was thinking of other player, i forgot theres a whole TWO comp players in there :P

Im using a dualcore PC currently because reasons
¿Should I disable any multithreaded/queued stuff or change mat_queue_mode to something specific to get better frames? I know most configs recommend either 2 or -1 (autodetect)
