ff_dev_2fort

Ok I was wondering if the devs would give me permission to run ff_dev_2fort. I found out it was a stolen from the beta testing so won't run it with out permission. I am running ff_blis_2fort and ff_TwisteDfort_smallb2 both fine maps but still not 2fort. So what do ya say since the damage is out there all ready Can I Run Your Map?

I won't run it just out of respect for the dev team unless they say it's cool.

it's still a fun map even though it hasnt changed. I also notice that people who suck and play that map a lot, eventually get better. I recommend it as a map to play until you learn the more advanced aspects of the game. It's really easy to conc in the map and it's kinda small and the water entrance makes it not very difficult to get to the flag room.

But a new 2fort (not blis) would be great.

Good impression. That's pretty much how i feel. It feels so constricting, like the rooms are too small for some reason.Scale is off?

have a whole community of people waiting for us to remake original tfc hunted with no extras(turned alot of people off for some reason).they pile into dev_2fort,and all the old school tfc people I speak to want original maps ported over. New maps are great and a couple do well but in the mean time give the people what they want and the player base will rise. Being stubborn about the situation and not porting over maps when a huge player base is sitting waiting for them(and bug fixes) is silly in my eyes. Just an original hunted map alone would bring a ton of people over.Build it and they will come....(so we are lol).

2fort is one of those maps that is so bad that everyone enjoys it. The bland, rectangular look coupled with redundant and overplayed boringness makes me not join any server with 2fort being played.

I'd much rather see some new maps.

I agree, I've had my fill of 2fort anyway. I'll vomit if I play one more game featuring 2fort in it. Oh wait... i did in TF2... yawn.

I still want four forts all with the same design of 2fort. Red and Green and Blue and Yellow.

I've seen some 4 fort maps but none of them are what I have in mind

Playing dev_2fort is just... meh. I've played that map in TFC since the beginning and I don't understand the infatuation with it. Bridge spam FTW I guess.

I really wish more server admins would keep it off their servers if only to encourage more diverse maps being played across the mod.

It's been leaked and there isn't anything the devs can do, or would do if they wanted to, its just sad that the map that took the least effort to make is the most popular. All the work everyone put in to their FF maps and dev_2fort is still the call of the day.

How much would you wager that if someone ported all the TFC maps, that they'd be played over the FF maps? Mapping efforts go for naught, why even encourage new maps if that's the future, just playing the same old ones for the next few years.

Well technically they could in the next patch release ff_dev_2fort as a copy of ff_2fort (place holder). That would eh...pretty much destroy the map. Of course there would be some little bastard that renamed his. /me shrug

I agree with stanky fingers... If the people want 2fort, or whatever map is popular, then make it so. Make it more important than other maps in the making. Seriously, 2fort will always be a fun map, despite the nade spam. I know that's why it wasn't released on release day... Nade spam can and will be controlled by the admins of each specific server... It should not be controlled by the devs who automatically assume it will be a huge problem. Noone can forsee the future like that.
