I'm still not looking forward to the huge Demo nerf this patch will bring. :V

Hasn't the Demo been nerfed enough? I call racism. The only thing about him that was stupid was that he could one shot 5/9 classes with the sticky launcher, but that's sort of balanced out by the pisspoor reload time and his inability to fight at point blank in the hands of most players.

Also I've been refreshing the scout update page every 15 minutes, I hope to be the first to bitch about the next new weapon.

It's probably a minigun.

It's probably my post right up there. I'd be excited but...even though I like arena did watchtower really need to be made into a stock map? Also what the hell is CP_Junction and why should I care.

I'm truthfully amazed that junction is on there. I think it's a really campy map.

Junction is gay, but Watchtower might restore people's faith in arena mode, because Watchtower kicks ass. Especially when we play it.

I agree that Watchtower is arena done right and not boring like every other Arena map but...I still wonder why it had to become a stock map. Few servers even run arena and the ones that do -probably- already have this map.

They could be making "Valve Changes" to the maps.

True, Valve did make some slight tweaks to cp_steel, we'll see I suppose.

Junction is great for two reasons.  

It is one of the few Gpit style custom cp maps.  And it is made pretty much entirely out of stock material.  Sure pl_frontier is fun, but I question the mapmaker's actual hammer skills.  People think it is amazing because he knows a thing or too about maya.

However, I'll be pissed if he didn't do something about the last point.

[Duck, Duck, Goose]

What was Steel like before it became stock? Like... what did Valve change?

Tiny changes.  Like really tiny.  For one they added that little window thing that you can spam pipes onto the last point from.

There are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more deserving maps.  :'(

Hopefully tomorrow's update will bring better news.

Sssshhhh

[Maxon]

Nothing will ever make Arena fun so that's a big waste.  The map was alright and I like the design, but I'd much rather it was a part of another map style.

Can't say I ever remember playing Junction though.  Will have to give it a try sometime before it's officially released.

[Ianki]

Ugg, Cp_junction and areana_watchtower will be made standard in the next update.

I can't think of many cp maps other than junction that i actually have no fun playing.  Some i dislike, but junction i actually have negative fun playing.
