Badlands is a remake of the Classic CTF Badlands from Team Fortress Classic, and was released in the February 14, 2008 Patch. Much of the map has been changed and the map type has been changed from Capture the Flag to Control Point. The map consists of a base for each team, an open second point for each team located on the top of a hill, and a center point on the bridge.
South Dakota changed my life. The whole area from the Black Hills to the Badlands to Wind Cave. Such an eclectic mix of three different climates. It definitely creates some weird, unique instances you have to see and experience to understand

The badlands, formerly and commonly referred to as the mesa biome, are uncommon warm biomes, featuring mounds of terracotta, coming in various colors. There are three different variants of the badlands biome. Badlands biomes feature large mounds of terracotta, in layers of various colors; specifically, red, orange, yellow, white, light gray, brown, and regular terracotta may all naturally generate. These mounds rise up from a layer of red sand, and are about 10-15 blocks thick, giving way to typical stone variants below that. Cactus and dead bushes generate frequently across the landscape, similarly to deserts. Badlands biomes generate in warm regions and in areas with low erosion, which means that they usually generate in areas with plateaus and sometimes even mountain peaks. Mineshafts generate at much higher elevations in these biomes, often exposed to fresh air. Their supporting planks and fences are made of dark oak rather than oak. Additionally, gold ore generates up to elevation Y=255 (rather than the normal Y=32), and at much higher rates than the rest of the world, making badlands tunnels excellent sources of gold. While all badlands biomes are rich in unique building materials and gold ore, there are no passive mobs. Furthermore, trees, grass, and water are uncommon, so food cultivation can be difficult. Trees and grass appear only atop wooded badlands. Being a dry biome, it never rains, meaning lightning strikes are impossible. The exceptions are the rivers that cut through the badlands, where it can still rain and cast lightning. The usual darkening of the sky and hostile mob spawning that accompany thunderstorms still occurs during inclement weather.
I didn't realize that either initially. But the more I found out about it, the more it made sense? I'd like to visit myself someday! The Dakotas seem like they have a lot of (relatively) lesser known gems to explore.
Those saying its totally worth it well not really there isnt really anything special about dirt stacked up waiting to be washed away. Step outside the national part and see the reservations and how poor the surround areas are.
What surprised me about this is how the badlands look less intimidating to me than the unbelievably flat plains beyond. I've lived my entire life surrounded by wooded hills and the Appalachian Mountains, having been outside of this biome only a handful of times, to Florida or California. So the somewhat mountainous feel of the badlands comes across as less frightening than the infinite flatness of the plains.
I know what you mean I grew up in south Germany surrounded by dense forests and mountainous hills before I moved to the steppes of anatolia. I feel much more comfy among the darkness of the trees and vegetation rather than the vast steppes and flat rocky plains far as the eye can see. Something very unsettling about it
That’s so interesting how we fear different things. I live in the desert where everything is very still and quiet. If I go to the forest i get nervous because i don’t know what’s behind all the trees and you can hear the leaves rustling 😂😅
Two of the biggest factors that allows badlands to form (as there are many areas in the world with similar sedimentary conditions that don't form badlands) is the combination of the region's rainfall patterns and the fertility of the rock/soil. Firstly, the fertility is a big issue. Sedimentary soils/stone can be a wildly diverse in its fertility, but generally, freshwater sediments laid down by rivers tend to be nutrient rich while anything related to shallow ocean formations tends to be stripped of any soluble minerals and is just the inert crystalline component of rock (like growing in crushed glass). A lot of these badlands also have the addition of clay particles, which, when blended with already nutrient poor larger material, forms a soil that is extremely difficult for plants to take root in in the first place. Plants in clay soils or infertile, nutrient-poor material tend to grow slowly, have shallow and frail roots that don't generally hold soil together well or grow fast enough to stabilise damaged ground. The other component is obviously rainfall. While low average rainfall tends to be important to badlands formation, its the pattern this rain is delivered in that is most important. If the rain falls fairly evenly though the year (like the drizzly greyness of much of the UK), then runnoff is not much of an issue and plants can take advantage of the rain. If the rain falls in cycles of drought and flood (like in Australia), the usual rainfall is too low for plants to grow and when it does fall, it falls in such a deluge that it almost all becomes runoff. If the terrain slope is such that the runoff reaches a critical flow speed, it begins to incise the terrain with erosion gullies. The rain will often wash away seeds that could help to stabilise the exposed ground and the water is gone before much has soaked into the ground and the cycle repeats. If these two factors come together, you end up with an area that is almost impossible to stabilise and will enters a positive feedback loop where its existence creates the conditions that further drive its existence, that is, until the point that it has been eroded flat and the runoff mechanism ceases.
I first visited the Bad Lands in 1977. I had graduated from high school and drove out to Wyoming and Colorado to go rock climbing and visit some national parks like Yellowstone. We started our trip from Massachusetts. I had never even heard of the Band Lands. We sort of stumbled upon them. We spent a couple of days hiking around the park. It was a magical time I’m my life and so was the park. I have been back a few more times. It’s a beautiful place. A must visit. Thanks for such a wonderful video which explains so much. Take care
The Badlands are stunning... all of them. In the early 80's I worked on a portable seismograph crew. We would fly by helicopter our equipment & trucks into the Badlands for underground exploration of mineral, petroleum and water resources.
The badlands are wonderful to see. Bring a camera and lots of time for viewing. I hadn’t realized the Cheyenne river had such an influence on the badlands topography. Thank you
I grew up in rapid city near by. My favorite part about the badlands are all the fossils lying about. Not to mention fairburn agates which are beautiful
Just west of there is the Black Hills forest with Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse monuments. And a little farther west is Devil's Tower, WY. The Badlands are a similar geological vein that runs from Yellowstone to the east. All beautiful country that I got to see on a two week road trip in the late 90's just before summer and no tourist were around.
This is one of the best National Parks I have visited in the US. If you get there there is also Custer State Park and the Needles. Great places to hike and tour.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is worth a mention as well, just a bit north from badlands and is basically badlands national park with wild horses and woods inside it, both national parks look like alien landscapes and Theodore Roosevelt commented that they "did not look of this world".
There are also large herds of bison and North American pronghorn antelope, coterie of ground hogs and packs of coyote in the North & South units of the TRNP.
@@luisoutumuro424they don’t talk openly about it, but there’s also wolves in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and, while possibly migrating through, mountain lions!
There is a state park in Montana called Makoshika. I grew up in the town right next to it. i spent my childhood exploring badlands, and I get nostalgic every time I see them.
Woah, i got lucky and your video was recommended on my start site. Youre channel is great and has even greater potential. Nice voice, quality content and satisfying information. Liked, subbed and shared to my friends... well, friend. But still! Cheers buddy, i wish you all the best and am looking forward to new videos, as soon as i watched all your others.
Hey, thanks so much, I really appreciate that! Glad you're enjoying the channel and can't wait to share more park stories with you. Thanks for being here! (Also, I really like that Daxter photo. One of my favorite games.)
Broad regional uplift is an important addition to the reasons for the net erosion of the Badlands. The depositional plain to the east of the Rockies, mentioned in the video, was uplifted. This has the effect of eliminating deposition and rejuvenating the erosive power of streams.
It's beautiful, never seen so much nothing in my life. Probably the coolest thing in South Dakota besides Mount Rushmore, which looks smaller in person then on TV
There is this one place i think in Russia where a small patch of no more then 100 meters is turning into kilometers of badlands right as we speak, its super awesome to see. Its called something like "portal to the underworld" or something in that range
I live in Delta Colorado and just north of town on the base of the Grand Mesa is a huge adobe badlands. It's an interesting place to hike through at night.
You definitely slept on showing the Albertan bad lands. They're frankly incredible to behold. Just a jagged scar cut out of the prairies, dropping away in steep cliffs.
Also. Bad lands tap for black and red mana. They count as swamp and mountains. They come into play untapped making them worth 500 bucks or more for revised versions
I grew up in or around the black hills and badlands in South Dakota. I live a couple states over now, but whenever I make it back home a feeling sweeps over me. It’s something else entirely, even my gf who’s never lived outside of Iowa before we got together says she finds herself missing it whenever we leave
@Bobb Grimley Thank GOD the grammar/spelling police are here! Could have been an innocent mistake, and he might be a Marine, meaning you need to give him some fucking slack! He could have been high on Crayola when he wrote the comment.,
Excellent. 0522 I had always shallow-mindedly assumed 'Badlands' was political, probably because I consumed too many hollywood westerns. No where did I ever see the nomenclature was geological. My enduring legacy is that I always associate Lee van Cleft with the badlands.
Ay I live in the black hills very close to the badlands and they are one of the most beautiful settings I have ever been to. Fucking beautiful to go on a summer night to watch the sunset. Amazing man. Come to South Dakota, it is way more beautiful then you think. Especially the black hills and badlands!!
I think the gradulastic approach to the formation of the badlands sediment is correct, but the carving out we see today, I believe, is more in the nature of a catastrophic event like a huge flood probably at the end of the last Ice Age, not a gradual wearing down by the Chyenne River. If you look at a satellite map the Black Hills looks like a giant drumlin where the water was mostly forced to the east and south, carving out what we see today and leaving a large area of sand ripples directly to the south in western Nebraska. If you look at the patterns it seems as plain as day to me. It's something to think about anyway.
So I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but like how do the Rockies deposit material as they uplift? Is the material literally just tumbling down the slope?
Not a dumb question at all! That material is carried by things like water, wind, and ice as it is eroded down the slopes of the Rockies and is deposited in the Great Plains. That's my non-technical explanation at least, geologists feel free to weigh in here!
Haha, glad I could help! There's a decent chunk of gaming people who have found this video, which is very interesting to me lol. I'm glad I could help you all learn about parks!
Would u kindly explain why both the Rockies and Midwest increase elevation simultaneously? From the Rockies, how far east did the uplift occur? Did the uplift pass the Mississippi river?

Traveling through the Siskus into northern cali, around Weed, looks a bit like Badlands too.
Would u kindly explain why both the Rockies and Midwest increase elevation simultaneously? From the Rockies, how far east did the uplift occur? Did the uplift pass the Mississippi river?
