What's wrong with hoodoo? - Games

hoodoo plays like an early quake team fortress map where the designer had a fetish for sentry guns and ignored everything else that made the game fun

when I played on Facepunch UK 1 before they took it off and when BAT MAN! or Patrick werent on to fuck the teams up with stacking I noticed that blu won alot of the time. it was actually hard for red to defend in my opinion.

probably because you didn't have any engies

-.- Quit Raging about the explosion. If any of you KNEW the feckin map, you'd realise that it supposed to be radiating the reds. It's a dirty bomb, not a normal bomb.

It's more of a case of what [B]ISN'T[/B] wrong with it. Gameplay wise, this is a absolutely terrible map.

Frankly, after the latest update it's been brill. He balanced that old overpowered red sentry position. Now it's not a problem.

It just doesn't feel right.

The map is still incredibly unbalanced. That one sentry position was not the problem with the map, the fact it is pure choke points through the map were.

[QUOTE=Smashman;17247260]Or maybe I like Hoodoo and I've played it for more than 30 seconds before deciding it's shit?[/QUOTE] considering our biggest complaint is how stalemate-prone stage 2 is, 30 seconds is probably the worst exaggeration possible rated bad reading for bad reading

Youme needs to learn to make a map that isn't just tunnels and buildings in random places. Furnace and halfacre weren't much better, really.

I'm actually gonna go to Hoodoo and see what you guys are talkin' about... I've never been there. [editline]07:28PM[/editline] Fuck it I joined a Hoodoo server and it switched maps while I was joining, fucking everything up for 5 minutes and now I don't feel like dealing with this shit.

[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;17235410]Because the fucker spams his ugly avatar all over screenshots of his map. :barf: [img]http://www.facepunch.com/image.php?u=124762&dateline=1213408690[/img][/QUOTE] What the fuck the image just changed. When I posted this yesterday it was youme's avatar, now it's an upside down soldier.

What's youme's avatar? Something different?

i hate it when youme changes his avatar

[QUOTE=CunningHam;17255557]I played CP_Furnace twice over the course of several days, it's terrible. Youme's maps are all going to be horrible because he won't take the criticism to make them better.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I hate him. He thinks he's the best mapper ever, even though his work was just average at the beginning (and now sucks, because custom maps are getting better and better). Honestly, Hoodoo was a fun map during the first two months it was on my favourite server (a long time before it became official). Then it started to become boring. But it was the only acceptble custom payload map...

[QUOTE=Hokan;17238849]My point is that the map concept and general design is good, but it needs a couple small tweaks that make big changes.[/QUOTE] No, it needs a total revamp, general design is terrible, concept is okay I suppose, generic sand map though.

Hey, Youme, if you're reading this, you are a good map maker, but need to polish your stuff more, do more testing, etc. before release.

No he's just a mediocre mapper with a huge ego.

[QUOTE=Hokan;17257285]Hey, Youme, if you're reading this, you are a good map maker, but need to polish your stuff more, do more testing, etc. before release.[/QUOTE] Not harsh enough. This'll get it into his skull: HEY DOUCHEBAG YOU SUCK, MAKE BETTER MAPS OR ELSE -Gabe Newell

[QUOTE=usaokay;17255502]Relevant music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVVECt2cP_A[/media] My deduction is that since the image was from an avatar from Youme's FP account, Youme saw this thread (since it had to do something with his map) and saw that post. So he changed his avatar into into something comedic since now it looks like the Soldier is being vomited on from the right side! And the proof is right here.

I've gotten to the third stage a whole lot, but it really is much easier to defend than to attack on that map.

Me n' my friend have this one spot where we've yet to have a single team get past us. He goes engineer and I go heavy, just leeching off his dispenser. With a half decent team you usually get about 10 ubers but they still fail at destroying anything at all from the sentry knock back. If you have a pyro it's just game over.
