Thirding more CTF maps request.
I really wish there more open-area-boasting CTF maps instead of everyone just playing those cramped clusterfuck spam-your-brains-out maps – it defies description how I loathe payload maps.
At the moment there are really only 2 that I honestly love – well and granary. 2fort is fine too, but only on servers with a sensible player limit.

Yeah, new PL or CP would have been ace. Any new content is a bonus as far as I’m concerned though. We can hardly fault Valve for their support for TF2 so far!

Not a fan of Arena. Played it a few times and it is not bad in itself but just doesn’t compare to the other modes. Having said that, this map looks as though it could be enjoyable.

I would have much preferred some new payload maps, but having a new CP map would have been my second choice.

I’ve only played arena once, hated it. Because I always die first, just like I do in CS :((

I’ll second the request for CTF maps. Why aren’t there more? I can’t find any servers running ctf except for 2fort. While it’s fun, it gets old running over that bridge for the umptieth time. No ctf? boo

Bah, why do all the alpine maps have to be arena? I hate arena mode :( . Hopefully that new Payload map that’s supposed to coming will be alpine themed. In fact, I hope Valve is making nothing but alpine maps for the next couple updates just to be sure that great new look finds its way into every server’s map rotation.

Arena rules, although my favoured Internode Arena server is rarely populated enough. It’s fair enough to suggest it’s not what TF2 is supposed to be – hectic rushes with hilarious results – but as a different take, it’s refreshing. It’s like deathmatch mode in CS, in that it’s the opposite of how it normally works.

Anyway, I had to comment because my TF2Strategy update has basically the same name, and finding that out made me happy. <3 RPS.

New free content! I hate new free content, because it’s always designed to be fun for everyone but specifically un-fun for me! What I need is a map where I can play on a team BY MYSELF and not have to spend any time being annoyed by people who enjoy themselves and appreciate new stuff.

Don’t think I’ve played Arena yet, so wouldn’t dare pitch in on this one.

Also, it appears that permanently disappointed announcer woman has gotten a hold on the blog. Even without reading the ‘author’s’ name I was reading it in Ellen McLain’s voice.
