Warpath - rediscovered

...for me anyway
The skill level has grown by leaps and bounds since the last time I actually spent any real time on TV8. Kudos to all you warpath regs who own (and don't mind being dominated by an old medic named l3eeron

) Had a great time fraggin hides tonight.
PS, us old TFC warpath vets still have an upper hand on all you that didn't know the joy of TFC warpath. If you think TF2 on warpath is a frag fest, TFC was INSANE!

That it was. I was quite happy to see Warpath made for TF2. Though I wish they had taken the time to address bottleneck between the 4th and 5th point.

Welcome to the club, Beeron. I always say, I go to TV4 for the people, but I go to TV8 for the game

Exactly what the carpe said
The skill level and knowledge of the map by the regulars (like me) is insane. I know every single nook and cranny. Every flaw in the map, and all the strategies possible. I don't think I have missed anything.
What saddens me is when a newer person comes on the server and is just instantly steamrolled by a power house team. It is pretty depressing. I try to encourage new players to get into the game. What makes warpath attractive is the simple layout.

Yep. I've logged several hundred hours in TF2, I'd be more than willing to bet at least a third, if not half of that time has been on Warpath. I too am intimately familiar with all the tiny details of the map and the myriad strategies, as well as how to counter them.
Two teams of seasoned Warpath regs evenly distributed on a good game of Warpath? In my mind, there is nothing better.

Honestly? I'm not the biggest fan of Warpath in the world. I'll only join if there's a bunch of "cool people" playing, and even then, I don't have as much fun as I would on, say, TV4.
I'm probably in the minority here, though.

And I'm with both of you. Although the map is very Medic friendly, I grow tired of the layout after perhaps three rounds. But I keep on going, because there are cool, talented people there.

I'm with you on this. Warpath isn't fun for me either even with regulars on. Often times I'll just go play on TV7 or TV4 instead of playing another round of Warpath.

Warpath is one of the places we REALLY need to be carefull about team balance. You can get a group of all Ville people (USV, eVa, etc) on both teams, but if one team is full of "Warpath Gurus", they just slaughter the other team.
Generally, I've found that if this does happen, we can get the teams balanced fairly easily with just asking people to balance the teams. The "warpath gurus" (And you know who you are...) have always seemed willing to balance teams.

You disappoint me, my young Scout padawan.
