I Reviewed Every Mission in Operation: Magnetic Mayhem
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- Moonlight MvM had released Operation: Magnetic Mayhem on June 3rd. Funny that it was publicized during the #fixtf2 protest by sheer coincidence. This was supposed to end on June 30 but for reasons they've decided to end the event 13 days earlier at June 17. Join me as we take a deep dive into the 21 community-made missions, and determine if advertising this event as "bone-breakingly hard" was a genius idea or not.

Idk why the low money are meta by exp, it doesn't make missions hard. It make players hard to enjoining it
Seriously it makes solider and sniper not every useful and you force to use demo for taking out Uber medic.
Hi, I'm the guy. I agree on your thoughts of the experts, not much else to comment regarding that. I can see how Flower Power ended up a bit short of my other submission, being Fresh Dose of Nausea, due to not only being on a much simpler map but also sort of just my lack of experience when it comes to making 8 wave missions, it being my first.
Glad you enjoyed both missions from me, Fresh Dose of Nausea was a treat to make especially so it's nice to see the effort paying off.
Spent nearly half a day in Subchronic Sufferance. Silentsky is gonna give me PTSD for the rest of my life
A slight correction: Mathematical Miscalculation is made by Pasta, not Floro
ty 🫡
@cateatingpasta sorry, i must have missed it from the creators tab
@@SoggyFlapsSay, have you thought of doing a review on Potato's Digital Directive operation? The missions in that campaign are still available on their archive servers.
Playing this tour was definitely one of the lowest points in my community MvM career. I'm not exactly the greatest player and all, but these experts were definitely as advertised; though I wouldn't say that it's a good thing.
I didn't bother finishing Oil Overflow, that was just thoroughly unenjoyable. I'm not particularly sad that it ended "early" either. Still, there's definitely good parts sprinkled in here.
Hopefully PotatoMvM will be a nice palette cleanser to this mess.
Dudeee this tour is so ass as a solo player, especially advanced, expert, if your team isn't decent, good luck getting any wave of em done.
@@woshee_real I got stuck in one of the advanced mission for an hour because of my team lol. It's not entirely the fault of the mission, but to me, advanced is kinda the "Things are definitely challenging but you can still very much run some wacky loadouts and make it work" difficulty. Shame a lot of em this time wasn't like this.
@@azirul9311 yeah, I am also hoping the potato mvm event is good. I need a refresher after this tour.
i don't really mind the occasional funny bot names & other bits, we don't have april fools tours anymore so i think it's fine to sprinkle in some funnies in normal tours
also i gotta agree with you on diode charge, i played it and it felt more like a decently hard advanced mission than an intermediate
Ther going to stop doing April fools MvM events?
@@muggrootbeer there hasn't been a new one the past year or 2 and the last one ran was called "the last laugh" so AFAIK they're done with making new april fools events, but they did rerun an older one this year
@@lordvgames damn, i did get the metals from last year, it was my first mvm event, ever sense the April fools tour 2023 iv always done them.
@@lordvgames Last April Fool's event was 2023. This year they said they weren't able to, no reasons given but with that kind of wording I assume there were scheduling/logistics issues rather than just not wanting to run the event. So as far as we know, they should be doing an April Fool's event next year.
I found this campaign oddly short, even in light of how hard the missions were. That aside from procrastinating some of the experts I didn't finish by the end of May I managed to end just before the campaing was supposed to end.
I agree on your stance on how some of the expert missions were handled, especially Encode Error and Oil Overflow (the former was worse imo, but still). I didn't realize the medics had razorbacks. Man, Moonlight really hates Spy.
I find pleasure that you enjoyed my missions for the most part (Metallic Madness, Sushi Sunrise, and Rusty Rapture). I was being a little more quirky/experimental with my missions this time around. But I guess some things didn’t work out as I planned sadly, but I’ll learn my mistakes for next time.
PS: It was a missed opportunity to not play Metallic Madness in the background while you reviewed my Doppler mission.

I think the expert missions were pathetically overly difficult. Everything else was actually pretty fun. Cool vid bro.
It's fun to see other's opinions on MvM missions! I'd love to see you do this sort of thing with future events from community MvM!
Glad to see I'm not the WORST mission creator out there lmao. Windy Windup and Industrial Incline were the first missions I ever made
I‘m curious, how did you make them?
Dizzying drill’s map is literaly built like a Rabbids go home on the Wii level .
Change my mind.
No but seriously, the level geometry gets more wild the deeper you are in the robot side of the map.
Also i’m pretty sure that quite a few mission uses gimmicks and robots that were intended for an April’s fool event but instead got reused in these mission.
Hey! You bring some interesting talking points about the missions, such as respecting the player's first time knowledge and how repetitive missions are. I didn't honestly even notice those things, just went "Oh shit!" when something weird was thrown at us.
Some super difficult MvM content could have its place though? I would like to see a proper good MvM team solve difficult, unique waves of stuff with their whole toolkit, just based on this video from your explanations of random things. Perhaps that wouldn't be very suitable for a charity tour but more of a random thought.
10:50 Small correction: Dizzying Drill also uses gatebots
how could I have forgotten
he was too distracted playing mvm_peakdam
18:18, this ending is literally wave 2 of day of wreckoning by the way, probably the hardest vanilla Int wave. I'd say it's actually more balanced than DoW W2.
this channel earned my respect
It took me about four hours just to complete Oil Overflow, this is no hyperbole.
Sure, I made it into the compendium of completionists for the tour as a result, but at what cost?
I think this was fair, but ngl, I just think this tour stunk in general, and I ended up giving up getting the orange tank medal because of it. It also didn't help that they basically gaslit the community into thinking it would end by june 30th and not the 17th.
Seriously I wonder where was my medal despite doing most of the waves.
@@starmaker75 it's coming in the summer update.
y is typhoon not in s+++++ tier smh!!!
In all seriousness I probably should have used the airdrops more / actually indicated them, i forgot to consider players not getting pushed on w2 cause that never happened in testing lol.
Dizzying Drill was a pretty weird mission but I kinda like that in all honesty, I can't recall why i decided to make a $1 starting int but hey it was funny.
Can't remember what injoke the Troller Of Montenegro soldiers were supposed to be, I think it's just based off a gif that was floating around when I made that w1. The Bad Box Soldiers are also actually nerfed gbboxes but shhhh :). Big Heads were supposed to be mini Stand In Tanks (see: coastal w1) but the cosmetic combo didn't really work out with the larger heads that commons use, so I made them into Big Heads instead. They leak into the third wave's soldiers because of how the head scale attribute works but I was fine with it, it's pretty funny. W5's gimmick started out as a meme until I actually did it, w6's boss is pretty heavily inspired by TT Downtown's final boss(es) which I always thought were pretty cool. I was also kinda concerned about the last 2 giants having both gmeds and kritz meds but it went fine in judging and testing so I ended up keeping them.
It doesn't look much, but getting w4 to work was actually a pain due to how the map works. Blade64 never expected you to use gate A for two waves in a single mission, so the map doesn't properly account for it. I spent about 30 minutes trawling through a decompile of the map just to figure out I just needed to enable InitA_relay after w3 lol.
Not awfully proud of Plunder Panic honestly, was the first mission I made after about a year's or so hiatus. It just dies to sniper too hard, probably should've at least tested it with sniper, since judging at the time was done w/o sniper. Mission also has a lot of (somewhat obscure) references to Coastal Cashout. The chests on the gsoldiers' balls was unintentional at first but I thought it was funny so I kept it.
I really don't like how The Thunderous Fury Of A Robotic Typhoon (why did I not shorten it to Thunderous Fury?????)'s first wave ended up. Should've given up on the funny 69 gauntlet icon instead of trying to make it work. The first two giant soldiers in the first wave are a callback to a lot of my older (non-campaign) experts, and is heavily inspired by Waterfront Expert - Treacherous Waters' first wave. I agree with pretty much everything else you say here, though. I'll probably patch up the mission in preparation for archive. Worth mentioning though that you seem to have played the pre-buff version (which is probably better outside of w2-4 lol). I tried to get the giants to follow the bomb path with tags, but it didn't really work. Shame. Should've probably shortened the middle section of w5 aswell, it drags on a lot longer than it needs to for THE engie to set up and ruin your day.
Oh yeah, those Laser Rocket Heavies came from a mission I made for Caster in the Guardian Dynamica contest, it was actually a boss in one of the missions. I thought it was cool after never looking at it for two years, made an icon for it and decided to use it. And where better to use an anti-medic bot than at the rear end of an expert mission? :)))))))))))
P.S: based oil overflow placement ngl
17:58 That beggars' spread was painful to watch again
Man, I completly missed this. Hope everyone was able to have fun while it happened. Reminds me of the last mvm event I went to years ago.
Will you make a tier list of all unofficial MvM events? From potato tf, pineapple tf, moonlight tf?
I'm kinda curious which events I should replay by replaying their missions 😅
You can make Oil Overflow easier by playing a Sniper. That’s what I did.
honestly it was surprising to me just how quickly you managed to finish each expert - though after looking at my times, I guess they didnt take as long as I thought they did to complete, granted, I'm checking the completion times so time spent losing to wave 1 wouldnt be seen
Interestingly enough, the fire tank on the final wave of Subchronic Sufferance seemed to not resist the Dragon's Fury? Which was convenient since that's the primary I like to use the most on pyro (piercing through tanks to hit giants who cant hit you is underrated)
Oil Overflow was pretty miserable... wave 6 honestly felt very luck-dependent with the paths the robots took
Funnily enough the last mission I had to complete was Fresh Dose of Nausea - I just never found anyone doing it throughout the days of trying to beat the experts
All in all was kinda interesting to play through the tour - it's my first time doing a community tour so I didnt know what to expect
(Edit: oh and Industrial Incline was super fun as spy)
Honestly i loved this event, oil overflow aside, the expert missions were pretty good.
My favorite maps were subchronic sufference and Rusty rapture, i love when community maps push new ideias or require the players to communicate, but i do wish that they did like Robotic thyphoon and warned the tank position beforehand.
With rusty rapture i liked the one wave format, reminds a lot of wave 666 that i used to play all the time back on the day, the tank on the ending sure is a pain in the ass i just think that it would be nice if it came on the middle of the mission since by the time that the tank spawns the team has played for some time so its more frustating to lose due to time lost, but i love it regardless
"this mission is mid"
*puts mission in lowest tier*
The word "Mid" is the new cringe, has no meaning anymore.
I think the "lore" you missed on industrial incline is that you killed major crits, and he comes back as a zombie, hence the brain damage. Why do i think this? Major brain damage is wearing the brain bucket hat aka the plants vs zombies solider hat. That's my thought on the matter,
Very good content I agree with most of your rankings, keep up!
Diode Charge made no sense to me being int too, alot of the bots are too complex for int (int should keep things simple as to not over complicate the mission) not to mentiion the gauntlet sytle the mission goes for is too much for int. also yes, every time my team miss the siren and super scouts ran away with the bomb. its just not clear at all. and the tank at the last wave at the start is an instant lose if the team does'nt realize it, not a problem once you know it's there but annoying and a waste of time. (one or two other mission had the same problem weridly)
As for Flower Power and Pluner Panic, while I'm not the biggest fan of them, I really appreciate sticking to a theme, I think it adds so much and love to see more missions with theme bots and such. (in-jokes on the other hand, aren't great and often are really unfunny which this tour had a lot of unfortunately)
Subchronic Sufference being the lowest completion rate makes total sense, not a fan at all of missions making changes to the map as it limits the interplay and is just really annoying. it just feels like that made it to be as frusterting as possible. the mission maker having too much fun maing 'salty' waves instead of fun ones. missions like this have there place, but I hope this kind of mission isn't a tread with ongoing exps on future tours.
I also agree on the razorback usage, it doesn't make the mission more interesting or add interesting counterplay to bots, it just says "stop playing spy"
unrelated kinda but I just didn't enjoy this tour a whole lot mostly because of the maps, as I felt they were not well designed. the only new one being flowerfield(?) and it feels unfinished and fights against the mission made for it at times. like I don't want to be too negative on this tour, there's a good bit to like here, but the only reason I'm here watching this video is because I was curious what other people thought because this tour was so tumultuous.
anyway sorry for the text dump, great video
Really wish this event coulda been longer, considering how hard some of the missions were it sucks not having time to try it out with all my friends.
I though it lasted till 30(as comunity post till now says)so i didnt rush it and i was on a school trip so when i realized it lasted till 17 it was too late
I really like this video man plz make more of this reviews for the next potato events and missions
the lofi remix of Bloody Storm, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's second opening, goes very hard with this video
This was the first MvM tour that I didn't finish for multiple reasons.
First is that the entire event only lasted 2 weeks, which is... barely enough time for people who are coming home after a whole day of work, but let's say that problem only affects me and disregard it.
I've done all missions and had an average experience, int and adv missions kinda blended together. I didn't like the "haha jumpscare tanks" which just meant an instant lose. Unfortunately the first couple expert missions I tried for hours were Encode Error, Subchronic Sufferance and Oil Overflow. I gave up with all of them, because the amount of precision these missions demanded were incredibly annoying for teams combined with full randos.
After watching your video on the other exp missions they seem funner than the mess that I was unlucky to get the first impression off and kinda wish I at least tried the others out before giving up, but oh well.
Overall nice review on the entire tour. I'm disappointed by Moonlight's event and hope the next one won't be this big of a mess. (At least Potato.tf's tour is looking funner from how much I could play so far.)
Oh good, so it wasnt just me having issues with Encode Error, it's actually just that hard.
What future videos do you plan to make?
Somehow I found Encode Error harder than Oil Overflow, I spent way more time on it, especially on waves 1, 2 and 5, while OO was completed in one session (which took about 2 hours but still)
I agree, Encode Error sucked big time. It wouldn't be so difficult if it were the same waves on any other map, that map really just sucks. I completed Oil Overflow in the open beta period and apparently it was buffed before the event went live. It was way easier before. After the change, what really makes or breaks the tank waves is whether the bomb path is on the same side as the tank path. If they're separated, your team is split trying to deal with giants or tanks. Still a rough mission regardless.
In my experience, not a single one of the expert missions I played lasted less than 3 hours to complete, with multiple people leaving throughout
The expert missions were awful to play, the rest of the tour was pretty alright
i hated the expert missions, they literally break down to "LMAO, You're poor!"
will you make Operation Osmium Ordinance next?
wow, seems like they'll allow any mvm map nowadays lol
Which hands mod are you using for sniper? He has one glove and watch a above it
70 fov arms mod
I’ll be honest I haven’t done encode error the closest I got was by doing medic spam
I’m play plunder panic right now
really fun to play maps were awesome and mission were fun(-encore code wtf was that i tried for 5 hours)
It took my team 7 hours to beat subchronic sufference
I find it silly that you somehow struggle with meltdown and hurricane out of other experts, considering imo they're the easiest out of the bunch next to mannworks.
Altho sadly most of the ints / advs were mostly filler with repetitive subs instead of being formulaic like on meltdown.
Screw oilrig post_buff tho.
such is the anomaly of random lobbies
avarage mentaly stabel TF2 Enjoyer
sorry for shit event will be better next time trust
as a spy enjoyer, i see absolutely nothing wrong with industrial incline :3
youre officially kicked out from the spy mvm basement cult for this
@@mohsin3725 NOOO LEMME BACK IN
@@woop6727 k but u need to complete the rottenburg spy training mission blindfolded first
So far, it mostly decent. However the expert are genuine bullshit alot of the time. Seriously who thought have less then 350 money with 6 giants(with Ubers) and 2 tanks was a good idea?
5:40 that was easy for to hear what do you mean
I can safely say that, for NA servers, the event HAS NOT ended yet…hahahahaha!
This entire tour was just a shit show to be honest, it was a mess, and the expert missions were just too over the top and gave me,and so many others way more grief than necessary
La cantidad de randoms y la carencia de habilidad es terrible en este evento ya que se aproxima a la mediocridad. Preferible jugar con Hightours competentes y evitarse molestias.
community mvm peaked at 2019
Unplayable 😂 Cause Full Noob lobbies , trash or Low Skill.
