The last powerhouse points should be where those weird circular door things are on the ground near spawn are.

There was a great video of this happening a couple years back but I can't find it for the life of me. 2 Red Scouts on Thundermountain 3 kept throwing balls through a glitched window and repeatedly stunned a Demo for like a minute, then stunned him one last time mid-sticky jump before he died to a sniper.

Literally had that heavy standing stunned and motionless for over 30 seconds. Was amazing. Every once in a while I go into a 2fort server, play on the team with less snipers, and go scout just to do this. It doesn't take long to zero in where you need to aim to get balls to hit people on the battlements, and it's a full 7-second stun. I've yet to have a sniper survive 7 consecutive stuns, which is around 45 seconds of them not being able to move. You also get 2 points per full stun, so a 7 stun kill is worth 15 points total. It's pretty funny to spam "BOOM, BALLSHOT!" the entire game and then top the scoreboard.

This is Suijin. This is Suijin's map wire frame. This is an absurdly-poorly-optimized level. /edit: For the record, this is what the game is drawing while you're looking at a freaking wall.

So, this leaked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMdN7EMZFVE I'm guessing, based on the fact it's by a shitload of prominent community folk and that Kritzkast have teased it in the past, that it'll be our next Community Update.

There's an Invasion Workshop Collection bearing the same logo as the trailer, containing two maps from the TF2Maps Mercs vs. Aliens contest (Watergate and Probed) and a whole ton of space hats.

IronicDongz posted:The last powerhouse points should be where those weird circular door things are on the ground near spawn are. ... In other news, I have yet to play a single game of Borneo that didn't end on the very first hill. The mapmaker very thoughtfully provided a house with a full metal respawn that controls the entire chokepoint (with a height advantage, even), can't be flanked, and has room enough to space sentries so that they won't be taken out with a single uber. This was approved almost ten years after the game launch. Xander77 fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Jul 7, 2015 |

Borneo is a bad map precisely because of that first section, much like the problems with Suijin and its sightlines or that train level and how boring and forgettable it is.

suijin does look stunning. its probably the prettiest map in TF2 on max settings. just a shame about the sniper line of sight and the frame rate tanking when doing anything. i wish i could spectate enemies who steal my stuff and see how well they do with them. i'd like to give them little encouragements too, like being a coach

Well it's not like Valve was going to carefully model a reskin of the weapon to properly depict a herring. So they just tinted it red and called it a day.

Today I tried running around with the wee booties, quickiebomb launcher and eyelander. It was...actually kind of amazing. Once I got the heads I was kind of monstrous, running around with bonus health and extreme speed and being extremely difficult for even scouts to deal with, and scouts are usually the bane of a roaming demoman.
