The new RD_Asteroid is pretty fucking bad.
RIP everything that made it different from any other map in the game.
Oh boy, time to fuck around with valve's godawful coding of the robot destruction HUD again.
Another startup music? Please give us more!
The map feels way too small now. I liked the complexity of the old one, but the new one just simplifies it too much.
if the new rd_asteroid is really terrible i've been saving every version that valve has released in case they really fuck something up and/or someone wants to make it look pretty themselves once all the assets are released

When I was playing it, a lot of people complained that they didn't know where to go, or where the places were, when I suggested NOT taking the teleporter, they ignored me.

It's the cp_steel effect.
Once you learned the map it honestly wasn't that hard to navigate. It's their fault if they choose to not learn the map. I do agree on the teleporter needing to be removed though. That's one of the few changes that I like.
They also added a headset style to the Greased Lightning
yay :D
those changes sound unneeded, hopefully they'll be reverted

Can I get version two of Asteroid for my site?

Look for the beta map folder. I set it up weeks ago (maybe less than that, time seems to fly by for me because I work 12hr shifts)
Send me an f/r on Steam bunny. I'm at work for the next 7 hours though but I'll see it when I get home.
I don't know. I like the feel of it now. It could stand to be a little bigger, and I think the caves should came back in some form, but it felt more intuitive to navigate and there were less areas where you can take a wrong turn and end up in a deadend or end up just doing a circle.

Ha, you all thought I was a fool, but I [i]knew[/i] it was too big!

Actually nevermind the changes are fucking awful.

edit: i've now decided to not edit beta hud things until they are out of beta because valve will just never stop doing this

WHY CAN VALVE GAMES NOT DO MATH
Would anyone happen to have all the "textures" VPKs from before this update? I had set my TF2 to not automatically update and I just got home from work to find out the god damn thing went and reverted that setting and updated itself anyway.

I wish there would be more paintable medals. I can imgagine team colours looking great on medals.
Someone at the TF2 team thought the klaxon from Half-Life 2 is a way better alarm than the previous one we had.

You probably have an outdated HUD.
Anyone else having issues with most kill icons being skull and crossbones?
