I don't understand - how can a turtlefest NOT be blamed on the fact that it's an AD map. There's literally no other option but to turtle?

There could be some kind of incentive to push forwards (for a better hold or something, maybe holding near the point is a nightmare) but the enemy team spawns close and fast enough to the forward hold that it's very difficult to get heavy engie pyro etc. up to defend it.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=24041&post=428297 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 14:42:25 +0100 Reply by Mould https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-24041/page-1/?recent=428299#post=428296 Quoted from freshmeatt

[...] Besides the pacing, the difference is not that big. I find the reason for which Gravelpit has been hated by many is its turtlish nature of gameplay, but that was because of the map itself, not the mode.

How can you make an a/d map which isn't turtlish? You don't need to attack, so obviously it's a turtlefest. GPit is one of the most unturtlish of a/d maps.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=24041&post=428295 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 14:34:36 +0100 Reply by Selektionsfaktor https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-24041/page-1/?recent=428299#post=428283 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=24041&post=428283 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 13:50:41 +0100 Reply by EXM https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-24041/page-1/?recent=428299#post=428222 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=24041&post=428222 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 02:38:11 +0100 Reply by freshmeatt https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-24041/page-1/?recent=428299#post=428006 Quoted from Selek

I fail to see the big difference to those, but please do explain.

Besides the pacing, the difference is not that big. I find the reason for which Gravelpit has been hated by many is its turtlish nature of gameplay, but that was because of the map itself, not the mode. And surely, combining cap points' mechanics with flag capturing adds a little bit of variety to the mix. Where the difference lies is in the map size and game pacing and that got me thinking, why have we, as the 6v6 community, not tried any other A/D maps yet? Quoted from Henghast

I loved ET but I don't know I don't see the game mode translating particularly well, unless my memory is lying to me.

Can't be copy pasted, that's for sure. Still, wondering what would make it viable here.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=24041&post=428006 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:25:17 +0100 Reply by Henghast https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-24041/page-1/?recent=428299#post=427958 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=24041&post=427958 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:26:41 +0100 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-24041/page-1/?recent=428299#post=427950 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=24041&post=427950 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:56:14 +0100 Reply by Selektionsfaktor https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-24041/page-1/?recent=428299#post=427949 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=24041&post=427949 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:54:24 +0100 Created by freshmeatt https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-24041/page-1/?recent=428299#post=427849 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=24041&post=427849 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:33:19 +0100
