Control Point Episode 17 - Hydro
Another week, another Control Point. This time they’re discussing the map that is the most underrated IMHO - Hydro. A lot of people don’t like playing it, probably due to the complexity and constant changing of sides. I’m kinda a fan, but its hard to find full servers running it due to its lack of popularity, so I don’t actually get to play it that much.
Shoutout to the Control Point guys for referring to ubercharged.net as being better than google, and for referring to me as crazy, insane, and mad.

You can go download it from Control Point. Be warned though, the Spencer impersonation sounds like Pinocchio from Shrek (you’ll know what I mean when you hear it).
This week the podcast is a bit leaky from the breaking of dams in Hydro, and of course Spencer missing in action. But instead of putting the podcast on hiatus, we decided to bring it to you with just the 3 remaining hosts. Click!
Here just a few more tidbits you can expect:
- Map: Hydro
- New Music: The Device has been modified by Victims of Science
- Link: TF2 Media Round Up
- New (FUN) Server sponsored by TimeSquared, creator of Jack of all Blades & Industrial Revolutionary
- TF2 Wiki: Control Point Podcast page.
- Soon to be on SourceTunes!
- Listener Contributions
- and much much more!

I don’t like Hydro much. It has nothing to do with changing sides or the layouts (I actually really like a couple of the layouts) it’s just an average map. Unlike other maps, it doesn’t really excel in any area I find.
Which is funny, since when I first got TF2 I loved it.
