Badlands Spy Ownage
As I’m pretty sure everyone in the world saw the automatic update, and multiple news items from Steam, I didn’t bother posting anything about the new Badlands map. However, that didn’t stop everyone sending me news about it.
Names have been changed to protect the stupid:
MADLEP VAVLE HAS DONE BADWORLD MAP. U SHUD POST ON UBRCHARGED AND LINK TO MY SITE LOL
THX <name removed>
Cool. Done.
Anyway, I had the first play through last night. Seems like a good open map. Lots of variety, and different routes to take. Pyros and spies both seemed to be doing quite well. This video from omfgninja got produced in record time, and shows some of that.
Only problem seems to be that the exploiters have already figured out how to build underground turrets in one section. Oh well, hopefully Valve will patch that out soon.

It’s a great map. Finding good sniping spots is a challenge as well. Had some awesome firefights on the map last night. Though one asshat was whining about how it “favours scouts” and “every other class is nerfed”. Any map with CP points is going to favour scouts… Right until the moment they get their weak skinny asses obliterated by everyone else getting there.
I honestly don’t understand why some of these assholes even play the game.

that spy did very well against the scouts I though, on the (very) odd occasion that I go spy I pretty have to leave em alone.
Not a bad map though - I’m not sure if its just because I love the dustbowl-style desert setting though, I guess I’ll have to get a few more hours in!!

I REALLY hope they bring this map (with patches for the underground turrets and such) to the 360!
