oh, hi.

i uploaded jahrain's maps, i dunno much about tf2, don't even have it installed.

are there any particular mods/maps that people like that will drive traffic to the server?

enjoy, and let me know what i can change and stuff.

MARIO KART :awesome:

Seriously though, there's quite a few. I'll check my maps list tonight for some good names, and I know sever has a heap.

Do they have to be serious competetive maps or can there be some silly ones too? (mario kart falls into that list)

[StankBacon]

whatever is popular so people actually join.

[Sever]

es_dynamite and es_cave (don't know the versions on either of them - just check the server list for them) are two good escort maps that don't have any noticeable exploits (don't even think about es_happycow - I've seen engineers on roofs way too much) and are quite intuitive yet still strategic (much like Dustbowl). Also, take a look at cp_aqua - it has some interesting combat spaces and parts of the level that change to facilitate player movement with a high risk & reward setup as the capturing progresses.

MARIO KART :awesome:
FUCK NO. GET OUT NOW.

also, Convoy_v2 is pretty badass, cp_warpath, but for the most part people play stock maps. So, convoy, warpath, and all the stock maps besides hydro cause everyone hates hydro. oh yeah and es_cave7

[n00b1n8R]

FUCK NO. GET OUT NOW.
:smithicide:

[Terin]

ctf_turbine and ctf_mach4 are very popular CTF maps. Better than 2fort imo.

[StankBacon]

added warpath and those two ^

[MNC]

cp_orange_x?

[Pooky]

I'll probably join some this week ands ee if I can't get a few people to come

[Syuusuke]

Someone should gift me (or that guest pass thing) TF2 if possible for my Spring Break next week =D

[Bodzilla]

and all the stock maps besides hydro cause everyone hates hydro.
WHAT?!

I love hydro >:U
it's like 27 different lvls in one :D

[Sever]

Agreed - Hydro is great because (as the dev commentary says) you don't even know what kind of combat you'll be doing when the game starts up. Put hydro in the mix.

[Terin]

Why does it have 26 players? Doesn't that put it in the custom tab, unless you haxx0red it? We need to try and seed it sometimes, and if it's in the custom tab with only maxplayers up, that probably won't happen.

EDIT: Also, Hydro is my favorite map. Great for spies and fun and different combat areas. It has to stay.

[StankBacon]

what?

i can change the maxplayers to anything i want.

[Terin]

Are you new to TF2? Not an insult, I'm just wondering.

They recently added a Custom tab to the TF2 game browser. If certain tags are detected, like changed gravity, no respawn times, player limits higher than 24, it will move it to the Custom tab, and off the default internet tab. People often only look in the internet tab. So, in the end, if you have a server with more than 24 people, it will get VERY little attention.

[StankBacon]

yah, i played tf2 for a grand total of about 5 minutes.

i just set up the server for other people.

[n00b1n8R]

IMO, any more than 20 players crowds pretty much every map.

[Bodzilla]

NO

more players means the other team is more confused as to who is a spy and who isnt.
>: D

[Sever]

Fucking spies!

Get burnt.

Or syringe pin-cushioned.

Or whacked with an entrenching tool.

[Bodzilla]

My sappers destroy your sentry faster then you can repair them.

you loose.

[Pooky]

My sappers destroy your sentry faster then you can repair them.

you loose.

They used to, anyway D:

I haven't been able to destroy a sentry by supersapping in a long while, despite the engineer breaking off about 10 sappers

[MNC]

NO

more players means the other team is more confused as to who is a spy and who isnt.
>: D
Oh hush you, you don't even have over 10 backstabs in 1 row.

[Pooky]

NO

more players means the other team is more confused as to who is a spy and who isnt.
>: D
but it also means it can be really tough to get through chokepoints without getting bumped D:

[Bodzilla]

Oh hush you, you don't even have over 10 backstabs in 1 row.
wait......... you...................

I'm so sorry it's a quicky I just made

[Terin]

Why is cp_orange_x on this server? It is a horrible sniper-fest.

[Pooky]

Why is cp_orange_x on this server? It is an awesome map that breeds some tense battles.
ftfy

Sure, the map needs a little more sniper cover but it's still damn fun. The whole tower bit is better than anything in the stock maps.

[MNC]

If the server has a sniper limit it's great fun.
