FNF - TF2 - Would The Real Badlands Please Stand Up

THE PASSWORD HAS CHANGED – SEE BELOW!!!












Maybe a pickup or two tonight, I really want to try to lay off them for a while so they don’t become over done. I updated two maps and added one more, details are below, please make sure to download the new one, it’s a pretty big bsp.

The vote results are in and the numbers don’t lie, pretty much everyone wants hydro back in the rotation. As to what people want taken out, well that’s a little less clear. I’ve removed badlands and science from the rotation, but these maps will still be available to be voted on. The full results can be viewed below. If you voted for multiple maps, I split your vote accordingly.

Map - Vote Tally
Hydro: 9.5
castle: 1.5
Orange_x3: 1
overflow: 1
well2: 1
grandcanyon: 0.5
Warpath: -0.5
well: -0.5
impact: -1
2fort: -1.5
dustbowl: -1.5
Gravelpit: -2
Turbine: -2
Science: -3
Badlands: -4.5


New Rotation:

cp_gravelpit
ctf_mach4
cp_dustbowl
cp_labor
tc_hydro
ctf_impact2
cp_well
ctf_turbine_v3
ctf_2fort
cp_warpath

Maps Updated:
cp_grandcanyon updated from beta 5 to final v1
cp_orange_x3 updated from x1

Maps Added:

ctf_badlands_classic_b3e – This is what badlands was meant to be, and it’s much better.

I also fixed the ‘Need A Dispenser’ configs, just redownload the config files.

Sweet, I'm glad you got rid of science, though I'm not pleased about badlands. Also, why does pretty much every TF2 comic ever made have a pyro in it?

@Es - because the pyro is awesome, also people voted to get rid of badlands, complain to your peers :x

Why would the pyro hang himself? He's the best class in the game.

I just got the Orange Box today. I know I am late to the party, but at least I am dancing. Are you guys playing on 360 or PS3, cuz I got it for the PS3?

Damn, I wish us 360 TF2 players had more than six goddamn maps to play on.

What does Badlands look like?

I... have to know. My 360 is dead, and when it is reborn, it still won't have Badlands.

You three need to get the PC version ;)

I don't like the new badlands, the old one, which I uploaded today I think it much better. Google some screenshots if you want to see it.

YOU'VE BEEN BLINDED WITH SCIENCE!

Seriously, why do people have no spatial awareness?

Also I would say that comic is quite inaccurate the way fire has been hitting lately...

Hey caffeinepowered how do I go about getting into the destructoid steam group? I added my id to a list somewhere but I never got the invite. I need some good people to play TF2 with. Thanks

@e4te just add someone to your friends list who is already in it and they should be able to invite you I think

I wasn't able to make it, I'm getting married in 3 hours! Sorry for fail comment trying to keep my mind occupied. Will hopefully be there Tuesday. Think I'm going to lay off non-special nights for a bit because the server personality has been a bit too..umm best way to describe it is everywhere else on off nights.

Last night was pretty fun. For anyone curious, I found some of the songs Spore had going and posted them online. Here's a link that hopefully works.
