Awful Map Night!

[Will T.]

The only truly objectively awful map in the game is Junction. All others are a matter of personal opinion.

Unfortunately I don't know that I'll be able to make it, but if I can, I'd like to jump in!

Lolcano, Whale Race, Wacky Races, the one with all the saws. These are a must!

It's an all-stock event though... Plus the saw map is EXCELLENT. You know it to be true!

If we ever do a bad custom map event, I will gladly contribute some of my earliest attempts at TF2 mapping. I have some real clunkers around that haven't seen the light of day in years, and I'd love to pull 'em out for all to cringe at!

[Fraulein Arztin]

Sweeeet. I'll be there!

[Inner]

Count me in!

I have many, many pre-Ville hours on Egypt. Not totally awful

[ADevilishPotato]

Man you all are making this worse for me....

[Alex]

gulleywash is the worst map of them all.

[Fraulein Arztin]

aweee taters.... borrow my laptop....
jk.. I wish...

[TheCarpe]

Just a reminder, this is all stock maps. We could fill a week with atrocious customs, but this is meant to be a nod to the official stinkers

On a pub scene, it's not too great; but it's very popular for comp play from what I understand. It's one of the more play maps for 6v6 I think, and that was part of the reason Valve gave it the green light to official.

Because of its size Gullywash is a really good 6s map. If you think about the design of the points it's kind of a zig-zag pattern and is quite compact which makes for faster and more exciting gameplay; complete with alternate routes to pretty much anywhere from anywhere.

If you play through the commentary mode on one of the maps (I think it was a node on gravel pit) it's stated by one of the devs at Valve that a map has a significant breakdown if the arena fails to contain the number of players on the server. I think Gullywash falls into this category handily once you put it in a traditional pub server; it's just too small to contain 24 players all at once... not all the time but oftentimes.

As a self-professed fan of the 6s format I really enjoy Gullywash... but in 6s format. Same with Badlands and Granary; you can't expect maps to translate with different rulesets and play just as well. Not saying Gully is a bad pub map since I haven't really played it with a full 24-player server but if it's anything like Badlands I can expect it to not be the star of a rotation.

[Soup Nazi]

This was very fun, thanks for organising!

[Ian_Suffix]

Maaan, I forgot I had choir practice tonight, so I wasn't able to come.

[The Domer]

I had fun! I was only able to pop in briefly (had other commitments) but while I was there it was a riot!
