This is bitch talk dust bowl is fun and balances as long as teams are balanced Because when you get some f2p in your team, ragequitters and people who give up that's when you get send to spawn
@kR-qj7rw I disagree. Even if two teams are a good match for each other and you're enjoying it, the map is just fundamentally unbalanced. Certain classes do MUCH worse on dustbowl than on other maps, with spies, scouts, pyros and snipers being almost useless at certain stages or chokes. And you're likely to be at those chokes for a long time because the map layout is unbalanced, usually favoring the defending team. This is all without mentioning that two evenly matched teams are more than likely just going to stalemate and run out the clock. Don't get me wrong, I like playing on dustbowl. Its just that you either have fun on dustbowl, but it won't be balanced, balanced dustbowl, but it won't be fun, or you can have balanced fun, just not on dustbowl. It's in my casual queue for a reason, but it being a good competitive environment is not that reason
8:16 something added there to indicate that you can’t shoot through or something to block the view into the last point would probably be a good addition
My takeaways from this seem to be good rules of thumb for general map design in tf2's asymmetric game modes. 1). Avoid chokes and long sightlines 2). Make more flank routes 3). Use a healthy amount of open space and cover to balance out points 1 and 2
Doing stuff like this on a 100 player server may actually be a decent way to test worst case scenarios in a 12v12 match and how to deal with them from a map making perspective.
(0:38) You a real one if you were there for that stream. The pain shounic went through to convert dustbowl to single stage is unimaginable. 6 hours of nothing but pain, anger, sorrow, and despair. That was my first stream that I stayed to watch. I became a veteran that day. Still waiting on my Purple Heart @shounic . You promised
As soon as I heard him mention making dustbowl single stage, i knew. I've been making maps for quite a while and while I haven't made a three-stage map ever, I can certainly imagine how much pain it would be to unravel all of the map logic, lmao!
2:09 I think that was my dispenser. I'm pretty sure i remember that exact scenario leaving a pyro and medic to get more metal only to come back just as my dispenser get destroyed.
You should put a fence on the roof to make it more visibly apparent that you can't shoot at last from up there. Like it wouldn't actually do anything because it's going over an invisible wall anyway, but it'd just be nice.
One thing Shounic didn’t say about the open roof on last was that it made getting the payload around the first/second corner for blu a bit harder cause it was just constantly raining pipes. Once blu took the second corner though it was over for red pretty quick
I think leaving the roof accessible, but adding a fence to protect red last would be good on last. If blue can hold roof, they can see what to deal with on red last, similar to the new one way window.
Simplicity is king. You see a lot of “balance” designs the community have make some insanely drastic changes to maps so I respect the ability to show restraint and only make minor but impactful changes.
I recently played this map in 100 players. One thing I can say is that if you are blue you can definitely push, rush and spam reds easily since setup time is gone and choke points where sentries delay blues does no exist anymore or should I say “become a new flank route for blue.” In the end. If you are blue you have 80% chance of winning and if you are red you either spam blue constantly (which probably won’t work) or get pushed back cause reds are in very big disadvantage with “new flanks” exist (reds gets easily surrounded.)
You should try making pl_dustbowl into a control points map, and maybe instead of just one huge map, you can divide it into "stages" every second point, and when the second point is captured, all players are sent back to their new spawn.
ive always held dust bowl in a special place in my heart because it was the first ever map i played when i played tf2 for the first time. i love dust bowl and would love to see pl_dustbowl in the next 13 years when valve update the

1:25 It's a bit like Fort Vaux in BF1 during an Operation, the outer parts play fine and usually fall fast to a decently good attacking team but OH BOY are the first interior sections hard to crack from the outside, the generator room in particular is just pure chaos.
Love to see that a lot of the core elements of TF2 are pretty much thrown out the window due the huge amount of things going on lol. Pretty much turns every map into a Hyrule Warriors like version of the map (ample space for ample units). Neat to see, maybe spacing different routes could help to route players rather than trying to pile 100 players in a single tunnel but I'm sure that would require an entirely original map layout at that point. Still, wonderful work.
Played a round on here this morning, was on defense. We got rolled to last, and we needed to defend last for 11-12 minutes It was some of the most fun of tf2 for me, as we tried our best to hold them back, and did all we could, and we managed. So much fun, and a refreshing way to play dustbowl.
this is great level design work, the one way glass in particular is creative but also feels very in line with vanilla valve map design, and makes a unique engagement area, really cool
I love the part where you put a one-way gate on one door but not the other, so Red can still go in and Blue can also retreat if they change their mind in a push, it just gives Blue an advantage. Also love the 1-way glass window.
With all-due respect to how iconic / classic the map is, the fact that every single change was either a nerf for red or a buff for blue speaks volumes to how horrendously unbalanced and stalemate-y the og dustbowl is
I played on the server for 5 hours last night, and it's crazy how some things become super viable with teams of 50. Amputator taunt Spamming is crazy helpful, and carpet bombing with the airstrike and parachute are ridiculously fun when there are 20 people on the point at once.
7:40 , so cool. You are one of the amazing TF2 content creators! I hope Valve recognizes you and apprise you for all the motivation + effort in keeping such big projects in development.
Great work, I hope someday Valve returns to their old glory and make games again or maintain their games. Like what they did to Half-Life last year, but for all of their games.
I told Valve YEARS ago that Scout didnt need new weapons to be at the same level as Soldier or Demo, but better maps that aren't hallways. Thanks for finally improving Dustbowl.
I like how dustbowl is so defender-favored normally that you only ever have to think in terms of buffing offense until they fairly win. There's no switching back and forth, the only task at every stage is making BLU wins easier, you NEVER have to consider how to buff RED. So you can always be thinking in exactly the same way and get into a good flow.
Recently I was stoopid scoot bonking at the gate on the 3rd dustbowl map, the choke heavy one. Was legit a thrill to steal the point asap. Leget was a while since I played, felt the fun 11/10 dustbowl best map
I have an idea; for the final point, have the tunnel also go along the main path towards the little bunker thing, replacing the little ramp with a spiral staircase, allowing both teams to flank
The first time I played pl Dustbowl as Red we won on the first point because Blu was too busy pushing the house and not the cart We tried telling Blu that this was payload but they kept wasting their Ubers on the house with 4 engies nesting in it and not the literal dozen sentries covering the point
The entire video :"This would have been alright, but unfortunately Engineer and spam. We also decided to fucker over Sniper again cause screw that guy."
I got an idea for how you could make spy more viable, that would be to make everyone collide with each other even on the same team and enable friendly fire. I don't know if that is possible in team fortress 2 but doing that would make it so that spy checking isn't free and you could be at risk of killing ur own teammate.
With many hours logged on Shounic’s 100 man server, I can say with absolute confidence that such a change would render 100-man TF2 unplayable. Demomen and soldiers would be teamkilling everywhere, mostly by accident, and colliding with teammates would force literal lineups to use a dispenser, not to mention the intentional griefing that would occur.
