I distinctly remember playing on the incredibly schitzophrenic Minecraft trade maps that people made, truly goofy maps.
Yup. A perfect example is an absolutely ancient map from I would guess 2008 called "2f2f_directional_dinosaurs_a1". It is a bunch of sloppy, haphazard geometry with a koth point in the center surrounded by rotating brontosauruses. One of them has a rocket strapped to its back. If you search hard enough you can find it.
@@SnackPatrolI need this map,,,

@dkskcjfjswwwwwws413 Well, I know it's almost certainly someone who played on the legendary server 2fort2furious back in the day hence the prefix. The owner FLOOR_MASTER is behind the classic Team Roomba Griefing vids and also made cp_steel, and another regular there Mangycarface or some shit made pl_Frontier. I used to play there ages ago but most of them moved on.
By itself, the idea of a koth map with two points that behave as one is quite interesting and I hope someone makes a real map like that.
that's a real map wdym
@@embrestedfalacy6552what map
Agreed, that's a very cool idea. This map is basically a brainstorm of a chat with some cool ideas, and I do want for someone to make map with 2 koth points. That will make them much more interesting and more classes will be viable in the fight, cuz usually it all ends up with powerclass just doing a lot of AOE damage and killing everyone.
WOMMY FOUND
KOTH DEMOCRACYIS THE REELEST MAP THERE Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about mapping than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor.
I love that the key areas of the map have distinct, recognizable callouts like "Snakewater" and "Vents." This map is gonna take the competitive scene by storm.
Flashbacks to a teammate in a Snakewater 6v6 match answering "On Snake" when I asked where the enemy sniper is.
The multi point koth seems like unironically good idea.
While not quite the same as how it works in this video, dom_cliffhanger is a map that I think is pretty neat. It's a koth map with 5 separate points, but your team's timer goes down faster if you control more points. So if you control all 5 points, your timer counts down 5 seconds at a time instead of one. I've never been able to play on the map against real people before, but I tried running bots on it and it was pretty fun to roam around trying to take all the points.
@@sfc0450that is pretty much just arena shooter "Domination" gamemode

Agreed. It makes an interesting split between attack and defense.

Two control points that function as one is a neat idea tbh. Maybe a smaller and simpler map using that idea would be more fun?

@@dkskcjfjswwwwwws413koth_coughin
So it'd kinda be like 5 CP and CTF mixed together?
Well, you can just make KOTH_2_doublecross or something
It could work if it had multiple control points, and each point you owned subtracted more time from your clock
@@Geebanger0
Reminds me of the Arathi Basin battleground from World of Warcraft. Instead of a timer, you're trying to be first to 1500 score. There are five capture points, each point you own gives you 5 score per second. So the battle is very dynamic and requires a balance of defense and offense.
I bet a similar gamemode could work well in TF2. Maybe with three points instead of five, just to simplify things.
As we all know, everything always goes up exponentially in quality when there are more people.
There's no way that adding more cooks would spoil the broth, that's ridiculous
Especially in video games

There's a lot of gimmick maps like that. koth_foolsgrid, pl_cooler_badwater, koth_wubwubwub_remix. I used to run a community server and searched high and low for tasteful gimmick maps. Makes me sad I don't have enough time to start it again.
sounds made up
koth_nippletwister would like to say hi, it's also got a really unique twist in the form of a moving, floating control point
Honestly though I’d genuinely really love to see a legitimately serious map made for 100 player servers. Like, a gargantuan 8 point payload map or something.
And that's where you make 2 CP KotH maps! So you have 25v25×2 or a massive incursion on one side that lets the other point's defenders to hit 'em in a back
imagine trying to learn the sheer amount of competitive callout names 💀
The completely deadpan, "Next, they voted for minecraft parkour" had me in stitches.
Shounic got so angry during this maps creation livestream, and looking at what was made, I don’t blame em
A koth map with multiple points linked together is quite fascinating. I definitely agree that something interesting could be made with that concept.
As a map maker, this really hurts to watch. Also I'm not surprised in the slightest that Egan took a look at this and decided to fix it up lol. This is right up his alley
of course the creator of the map would give their own map 10/10
Actually koth with 2 hills sounds really cool.
honestly the forest/pond combo as the point is really nice looking, and the multiple points all being connected is honestly neat
as a tf2 mapper, i want to see a part 2 to this and more
There's a gamemode from Unreal Tournament similar to this KOTH setup, called "Domination". There are multiple capture zones around the map, that generate team points as long as they are held. Team with most of those points at end of the round timer, wins. In first UT its usually 3 or 4 points, and in UT2004 its only 2 points. The gamemode is very chaotic with players separating into fragmented defenders to hold multiple zones, and one focused group of attackers. Gamemode also has no specified spawn point, players respawn where-ever their teammates are, in order to eliminate the bias of capture zones being too close to one team's spawn.
When comes to Team Fortress 2, one would need script this kind of respawn mechanic, because each of those "Dustbowls" are going to be so fortified with sentries, that the map will just turn into regular KOTH (although the hazardous difficulty on middle point does make players prefer dustbowl ones) or it will be a deathmatch stalemate unless one team just steamrolls. There's definitely potential for a fun new gamemode but I'd advise map makers to take notes from Unreal Tournament's Domination mode and experiment with 2-5 capture points, and especially, be wary of dem darn Engi's sentry nests throwing a wrench into map's balance.
Control Points is a vanilla gamemode in TF2
why does this have so few likes? its like the most constructive comment on this video
I like the idea of a cap point that can kill you if you stay on it too long.
the anti camp cap point
Anti ca(m)p
This still ended up with less gimmicks than the average Scream Fortress map!
personally i suggest selecting a council of like 10 random people from chat to decide what decisions are voted on by the rest of chat, democracy by sortition and all that
Never let Shounic touch hammer ever again
You mean the comments
Seeing he was working with grid 2 burned my eyes
@@jabz1582you mean discord
If by "not good" you mean "a flawless masterpiece" then yes
It takes an impressive amount of control for Shounic to sound as stoic as he was while going over every detail that chat said should be added to the map's design
shounic truly is a pioneer
Holy crap, double-king-of-the-hill, that would make the best Gang Garrison 2-inspired TF2 mechanic since the Gunslinger!
This is the beauty of emergent gameplay and giving players tools to create : yes, most of the results are utter rubbish, but you can get some genuinely interesting and creative ideas/concepts and some genuinely good interactions that you wouldn't really get anywhere else. The triple KOTH point creates what I can only term as "asymmetric balance", where the losing team is never 100% on the back foot and always has one or two other options to come back, breaking up the bunched-up winning team. The karts were clearly not originally designed for regular gameplay, but it somehow works here, on top of the scenarios you brought up.
There are, of course, some serious issues, namely, non-jump classes' mobility is shot and it's aesthetically a complete mess, but reined in a little, you could probably make an actual map out of it. Let's see how the more serious attempt goes.
solution: grappling hooks
I don't know why you seem to dislike this map, it just seems like God tier map design honestly
This map probably leads to the most miserable tf2 experience out there, however it does contain a train so this means its an objectively good map
Shounic has really created a great community for us extra nerdy TF2 players.
Despite everything i'm sure that if you gave it enough love and actual sense it wouldn't be so bad..
Honestly, playable go-karts mixed with regular players like this would be cool for a Scream Fortress map
you should try to make a salvageable enjoyable map out of this, with all the wacky ideas kept but balanced and with actual yknow, walls and proper map design lmao
This reminds me alot of that one cp orange map that had the spawn points as big towers being able to go through the bottom or through the top while also having a weird underground maze
The only thing that wasnt similar was the big pit, there being sniper sightlines along the walls and it being a 5 cp map
"According to chat, the screaming is an important gameplay mechanic"
i'd like to see a real map with a split koth point now
Multiple control points serving as one is in all honestly an incredible idea. I'd like to see it implemented in a not-a-meme-map so we can learn more how it works. Besides being a way to keep KOTH dynamic, it sounds like a good idea to spread the fighting out some more, as said about the Dustbowl last cap points.
honestly, a "tower defense" type koth map where there's 2 different control points that function the same is an insanely cool concept in my opinion
Multiple koth capture points leading to one unique objective is actually a clever idea. I'm surprised no known map developer thought of this.
Because the most effective way to win would be to stand on your side’s objective. Going out of your way to the other team’s cap point would put you at a disadvantage as you would be fighting most of their team by yourself. A group of people leaving the cap point to fight the enemy would mean losing before even fighting the enemy. It rewards turtling on the point, which is not fun for either side of the fight.
VIDEO PUBLISHED 12 SECONDS AGO LETS GOO
Since jump pads exist, I guess people could try making their own TF2 version of the maps The Longest Yard and Apocalypse Void from Quake 3 Arena.
i'd like to mention the idea of one koth point being represented by multiple other points actually has existed in COD for a while, as the gamemode Hardpoint is more or less this same exact idea, just with the points being randomly rotated around instead of all of them active at the same time.
i'd love to see an approach to this gamemode in TF2, because COD honestly has some really fun gamemodes that i think would work well in TF2, given experimentation of course.
A horrible but beautiful masterpiece that they created honestly
a think a great way to do the multiple KOTH points map design is to add one on both sides as a middle point between the main point and spawn, where the side points are locked off until the centre has been captured, and only opens up on the side of the team that isnt in control- this means the team in control needs to push forward more to the second point whilst holding down the centre, and cant just have one person sitting on their sides point whilst the rest of the team pushes up- moving the cap holders to the centre instead
having multiple points act as one point is actually a really cool idea
people shooting from snakewater to dustbowl on this map is like rick and morty shooting at ppl through portals into different dimensions
Combining the points might be a work of brilliance.
I think there could be a really interesting KOTH (tug-o-war) design in there.
I feel like cows giving you mad milk effect should be more common in tf2
I want a serious attempt at reviving the Robot Destruction game-mode.
Honestly, the idea of 3 cap points, all working towards a unified capture is a really interesting idea I think.
If you introduced some method(s) of keeping people moving and circling to other points, or at least encouraging that, it would make for such an interesting dynamic; maybe there are hammers over the two points closest to each team's spawn, that strike down, killing whoever is standing there or some other similar thing.
Then again, even just having points close to each team's spawn would likely be enough to encourage moving between them.
i really like these experiment videos you do with your community. it's fun seeing the results. next make them vote on a new gamemode
You know, that two koth control point idea is really awesome. Having to switch between attacking people capping/blocking capture of your point and defending to block capture alltogether is a surprisingly complex and interesting map gimmick. That could be really neat if put on an actually well designed map
I'm thankful that the map got the lighting bake it deserves
"And of course to entirely invalidate everything we done so far... 2 dustbowls" Hahaha 😂
Oh yes please keep us updated on the map making!
I think this new "3koth" gamemode might have some good gameplay if you fine tuned it. Maybe it could be like a points system instead of timed, with each point giving more score to the team that capped it, and the middle neutral one would give more. It would be like Payload race for koth, the first team to get 100 points wins.
so clearly this means that there is an idle number of map creators somewhere between one and 100. now you just have to find it.
starting to feel less like TF2 experiments and more experiments demonstrating flawed democracy.
I don't know how you'd code it but if you could only cap "their" dustbowl could be a cool koth mechanic. Like you could retake yours but it it'd be lame if you just camp your own point on any real map.
that's just attack/defend?
@@Hexarth nah, the gimmick how it's tied the center point. It's koth with extra steps.
The two control point concept is kinda like an inverted CTF map. Instead of trying to defend and follow the intel, you are trying to retain your position.
This feels less like a TF2 map and more like an LSD trip.
Its still better than wutville.
Same
imagine a 2 point koth map where both teams are blocked by an invisible wall, and the only way to win is by lobbing grenades and rockets and getting high ground
The multiple simultaneous capture points reminds me of a map I saw in a dream once.
I won’t go into detail, but the main capture points had smaller points above them, when if capped, it made the below points faster to cap
Dick train, 2fort bridges, cow of doom, Necrosmasher on the point, Hightower, banana peel, screaming, saw blades, vent maze, launchpads, 2fort sewers,
Dustbowl last and inflation.
Typical TF2 community stuff.
I love this, should totally do more.
The introduction of the map was especially silly
Now this map need to be "x1000, VSH, classwars, 100 players, RTD" And this all in one
I never knew such a beautiful map was possible
“Oh, Also they held a strange tube to my head and demanded it be on the 100 player server”💀
All it needs is to be condensed a little, like making the ramps function, Minecraft parkour is not so high up, the cow aura affecting more of the middle, etc, then I think it would be 10/10 and great for both serious and silly gameplay.
I contributed, so I'm going to need some of the profits when the map is added to the casual pool.
I was expecting a thousand people actually all working together in collaboration on a map, but this is way more sane. XD
That multiple point idea is fascinating!
I think the 3 control points working as one together is pretty nice, so i guess ill make a description of how id like to see it function
Each team has control of 1 "subpoint" near the central point which gives team a slight increase in cap rate, if the central point isnt capped by anyone or the team has no pointsit remains as the normal cap rate, if they hold their own subpoint, they will have a slight 25% boost in cap rate, if they sneak behind the enemy and capture their subpoint they get a 50% boost in cap rate, if they have all points they get an extra 30 seconds on the timer. ( I am not really sure about this so tell me in the comments how you think this could be improved.)
Idea for the Dustbowls:
It would be cool that capturing the Dustbowls made you KOTH time faster. If you have one in your side the timer goes down by one second as normal, if they are both yours the timer goes down two seconds (or more) and if you have no control point in your side the KOTH point will take one full minute to count as a second.
I think it would be unique and fun, making the middle important without leaving the Dustbowls obsolete.
i remember tuning into the livestream one time seeing the hightowers the point underneath and hearing that there will be a water slide and i knew this would be great so i guess im just going to join the server now to play it edit: nvm the servers full
Glad to be a part of this wonderful map
this map format would be really good in 100 player death matches. having multiple concentrated battles at once for control points is a cool concept
"Both Dustbowls and Snakewater points function as one point"
So, with a far stretch, it is Planetside 2.
Always remember too many cooks spoils the broth
I like admist the chaos, they remembered that sniper existed
The double koth idea is at least an interesting gameplay mechanic
Imagine a map created like this where, instead of everyone voting on various overall gameplay features, they literally just each individually place entities, brushes, and everything else.
Doubt a working map would come out of that ever, unless we don't care about leaks, but it'd be interesting to see what a map created entirely with text commands would look like.

I dont think anyone was taking the map making seriously, and I love it.
the multiple control points seem really cool
this feels like the random ass maps you'd find back in 2014
