  • Some guy plays the same map for 12 hours, seriously does he not like fun or something? 12 whole hours on a single terrible map, sounds like torture really... still it could be worse, it wasn't Turbine.
    Music Use- Oh wait, it's in the video now.
    I realize I could have used more gameplay footage rather than screenshots but it's a bit chaotic saying "This part here" only to then walk away from it while trying to make a point.
    All you already know I'm going to ask UA-camr question number 6, what's everyone thoughts on X. X being Dustbowl.
    In other news... planning something big soon...

      The amount of time BLU has on this map is compensated by RED's veeery advantageous positions and ease of defending. BLU needs multiple coordinated charges to breach RED and thus the time was added. The problem is that Valve never bothered to fix/modify the map to lower the number of chokes and give more flanking routes so in theory RED is guaranteed to win just by their defensive advantage. And no, if you see BLU win is usually because RED team has very bad players. Everytime BLU wins the first 3 stage round, once they are on RED they defend almost always the first and second stage last points successfully.

    Dustbowl lobbies go like this:
    1st area: The 1st cap gets taken quite quickly, unless Red team is spawncamping. In which case, Blue team has effectively lost. If the second isn't capped immediately afterward the 1st cap is capped, the Blue team has effectively lost.
    2nd area: No matter how good Blue team is, it will always be a walk through hell just trying to even leave the small mines at the start. Even if Blue speedrun cap the first point, Red will still have time to respawn and set up defenses on the final cap. This is where many Dustbowl games usually end.
    3rd area: If the Red team has a phlog and/or kritz demo, then Blue has lost. If Red isn't doing this then Blue still has to chew through heavy defenses and sentry nests just to get the 1st cap. Final cap is hell no matter what side you're on, Red has to fight for control of the bridge connecting the control point to the rest of the map, while Blue has to maintain control of the corridor just outside of the CP's viewpoint. If Red pushes them out, then Blue has effectively lost all staging power and has to burn time getting ready again.
    TL;DR: The map is basically Stalingrad for Blue team

Essentially: no matter what, both teams end up steamrolled, even if they win.

Despite it's extremely bad flaws, it's objectively defender sided chokepoints, bad spawns and hilariously bad map design, the map is extremely fun, because despite everyone KNOWING that's it bad, they still play it and enjoy it like any other map anyways. And also because of the amount of chaos that happens, all the pills and rockets exploding left and right, teammates yelling and dying, mini guns brrring, sentry guns beeping, Medic's ubering, scorch flares and Sniper rounds grazing by, buff banners conch shells and backup horns being blown, Spy mains screaming in anger, all of it happening in tightly packed corridors and hallways.

      Its been awhile, but with the grenades in TFC being included I do remember it going way faster compared to tf2. Also capping points in that game was mostly instant so the final area was a lot more difficult to uphold. Many of the classes were also far more mobile (scouts/medics can conc-jump, demo's and soldiers can still pipe/rocket jump, everyone had grenades which was risky to jump from but its still mobility, and b-hopping existed).

      @kevinf8439 Рік тому +6

      @@Blitz1Blacktail1 In TFC it took a while to get through the tiny tunnels because they were spammed by red. You had to get sniper to be lucky and get a charged shot on a sentry. Or try to get through it as a spy and throw nades on them. Also capturing a point was done with a flag. Once the flag touched the point, you won the section. With a good conc or nade jump you were also able to capture the point before the sentry guns were able to shoot you. But of course 90%+ of the players weren't skilled enough for that.

    When I hear that some maps in tf2 are too long my first thought is about Dustbowl, and I compare this map (and 2fort) to maps like Blood Gulch, Derail, and other large scale fps maps. My thinking usually makes me think of one map as the whole map pool in a broad term, when really, it isn't, I just played it a ton as a new player and expect the other maps to be this tight, closed, claustrophobic experience with a lot of chokepoints and not many advantages to the other team. I can type about how trying to get last point is like trying to play Silver Surfer for the NES, but I had this thing to get out of my mind.

      2fort is an excellent deathmatch map; what's the problem?

    • @SockEater4293
      @SockEater4293 2 роки тому +2

      @@alaeriia01 The problem is the size for me. I like to have some breathing room so that I don't feel like I'm forced to go places. I know a lot of TF2's map design is about getting you to the objective, but still it doesn't feel like there's one place to go for many maps. Look at Upward, and more specifically the cave section before you reach the next checkpoint. You got three different ways to go, the most chokepointy and direct route, the mine exit, and cliff exit. They don't just put you to the same place they give you a little bit of an option, like with the mine exit gives you the high ground, or cliff is the most definition version of a Flank route. For both teams they got their own forms of "safe spaces", where people can take a rest to get health, ammo, or just to think about what's happening, if 2fort and Dustbowl there is none, wither one team has a safe space on Dustbowl or 2fort has the most direct flank route that gets you to the same area you wanted to be. on Dustbowl every flank Route gets you to the same place or a less undesirable place, and at some times, no flank route., like on the penultimate point. I want breathing room, I want flank routes, and for me Hightower is the best deathmatch map because of it.

    I play Dustbowl since TFC times. It's supposed to be incredibly hard for BLU to win. The spam is by design and it was toned down A LOT in TF2. It was also one of the most popular maps back then, which is why Valve ported it to TF2.

    The thing with Dustbowl is that it's an old map from an era where online multiplayer was more organized and less open, dating as far back as the original Team Fortress. You could get away with map elements that necessitated the use (or disuse) of classes because the people playing were generally friends who played together regularly and were willing to make class changes as needed. I feel like matchmaking has massively changed TF2's team dynamics, not for the better or worse, but just to something significantly different from what it was originally designed for.

    I honestly love Dustbowl, it's intense as fuck
    The map being chokepoint hell means no matter where you go there's always 6 or 7 enemies in your face, it being so easy to defend means Blu team has to go all out to make progress, and the sheer pressure being applied by both sides means that there's hardly ever a dull moment on either team, as any second another 6v6 could break out

    Dustbowl was the biggest casualty of instant respawn/increased population servers, which only got more prevalent with time. Skial servers were being played on in a lot of this footage and to my memory they implemented both at one point or another (certainly increased capacity just from watching some of this). Typically, both of those features will benefit RED in a map with close quarters, since (1) adding further pressure to a bottleneck is never going to be as effective as its counterpart's resistance in tandem and (2) they can Zerg-defend the final cap in a pinch. The same is true in reverse with open maps, which is why BLU tends to get such insane momentum on Gravelpit if there's >30 players. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a deadlock but on the whole I always wished there were more reliable servers that didn't mess with the game's balance.

  • @matheusrios4223
    @matheusrios4223 2 роки тому +3

    I like to think that Dustbowl, and every other old map that has been there since the launch of the game, made sense only in the early days of TF2. I mean, if you count that demoman grenades would explode on contact with every enemy building/player even if they bounced on a wall back then, pyro had no airblast, engie could not move buildings nor upgrade anything outside sentry, and kritz medic didn't exist to make spawncamp the monster it is now, and beta had grenades for classes too, I think with all that in mind the map makes way more sense.
    Also this shelter in 3:59 is perfect to build a dispenser and make spawncamp even more hellish :V

  • @thomasmurrell9832

    Oddly enough, I can't seem to win on this map even as an Uber medic on the RED team. Whenever I play BLU, we can cap until the last point and NOTHING will break their defenses, but then when the tables turn, by that part of the map, SOMEHOW a pair of scouts managed to BONK their way by everyone, and even when I saw and called them out, NOBODY would go kill them, so when we all due and they cap the first point, OOP, there's the two scouts instantly capping the final point cause NOBODY chose to turn around.
