Is it just me, or does Manngrove look a lot like Cashworks in structure and layout?  That's the problem with Payload maps:  Unless you get really creative (like with Angkor or Donkey Kong) there's only so much you can do with a Payload-type map structurally.  Gothic actually looks really nice from the screenshots, but I bet we'll be done with Cruff quickly (due to texturing, or lack thereof).

There's a lot to be said of payload maps structural layout, I really wish norad would work properly because it had a fairly unique layout :\

I suggested Cruff to him, we played it before and the layout was really impressive. Don't let the lack of textures throw you off, it's a quality map. The only issue we had is that the last point at the time was VERY sentry friendly. I suggested it to the map maker, he's updated it since. I'd like to see how it is now.

Re: TF Tuesdays 9-27 - Reevesith - 09-27-2011

Fuck they updated the first map, I dl cp_zinkenite_b3


Re: TF Tuesdays 9-27 - k0ala - 09-27-2011

Cruff+++ (Caff said he wanted to put this one on rtv rotation as is and I agree; It's not pretty but it is a well put together map)
Gothic++
Zinkenite_b2+ (needs optimization, everyone reported low FPS and stuttering , especially when there was rocketspam or pipespam)

Manngrove-- (I'd rather do cashworks again than play manngrove, it scratches all the same itches. maybe I'll grow to like it)

Man that's kinda weird to say.

Agree with all you said.

Hey guys. Just signed up. Would love to play with you guys and get some further feedback on pl_manngrove. I know that many times what is required is a more familiar feel with the map. If you have any feedback/idea/suggestions please hit me up here:

Would love to play with you guys next time you are on manngrove! Thanks!

TF Tuesdays is when we try out new maps that aren't yet in the rotation. Next one will be 4th October 2011 at 8:00 p.m. Central.

We love our payload maps here at BRB,U and our most popular custom PL is cashworks. I found that there was a bottleneck between first cap and second cap because we had to plow past Red's spawn point. It felt like a final cap stalemate, way too hard for a midpoint.


Re: TF Tuesdays 9-27 - k0ala - 09-30-2011

Doublepost, just to copy R1ghteous' comments to me on Reddit, regarding the bottleneck I mentioned:

Quote:I know what you mean... but here is a little tip.
The area plays alot like point 2 of badwater actually. Ill illustrate with some pictures...
You see in badwater the second point is very close to the red spawn: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/577809585523824138/91C8BBC78D018555760513F4263E76BA1E590521/ -and- http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/577809585523774561/C633069F7D947F9601BBED303FBB6037407746B1/
However it is taken by accessing the flankroute on the rooftop that is both above and behind the enemy: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/577809585523821904/205D9E9F5BD73167418844EBA6B91C1A4FB760DC/ -and- http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/577809585523775754/1317A3689545F9D9E70778FC70731FA71D8BDFE5/
Even though the flank route isn't immediately obvious: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/577809585523834319/2ECBDD1A1A19DC66CED491D13B50597ED7FA2ED1/ -and- http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/577809585523776373/A09737B13EC8BC5754982571F03FEB55CC42F665/
Its just one of those things that players have to think about/test out. Im sure after playing the map a bit more you would see what I mean. Thank you though for the feedback! Ill keep an eye on this either way.
