Official Maps - complain here!

[Jintor]

What's wrong with the official maps? I want your awnsers, we'll see what annoys everyone and what annoys just me.

Overwatch: It's so freaking easy to camp with the rocket launcher. Stupidly easy. Valve should put some strange enivromental damage thing around there, sort of like in Steamlabs. Damn campers, we hates them, yess we do.

LOCKDOWN(not overwatch): Actually i quite like it, i think they got it just right. Although i wish there were SLAMS in it, it looks like a good map for them.

Steamlabs: What where they thinking? It showcases SLAMS, and environmental damage, but it really annoys me. Small debris, only a couple of medium sized debris to throw at people and the fact that whereever you go, it's BOOM - Headshot - you're dead. I really don't like it.

dm_lockdown is geat. I love it

dm_steamlabs. I always get it confused with datacore running around it - so I get lost easily, however, it's good for phys-killing and shotgun.

dm_overwatch. I hate this map with a passion - not enough health - gravgun exploit to get to the rocket launcher.. etc.. it's wubbish.

However .. dm_lostvillage > all of those!

yep, the most annoying thing about overwatch is the total lack of health and armor. There is no way of taking control except camp the rocket launcher. lockdown is pretty nice, exactly the right amount of power ups and weapons (although one more xbow ammo somewhere would be good).
steamlabs I haven't played at all due to physics meltdown.

all maps have too much rubbish lying around, but I guess that's just HL2DM gameplay :|

U said overwatch twice.

And erm, all the maps, pretty much suck imo.
I wanna see the contest winners ones.

U said overwatch twice.

Yeah. Reading his description, he meant dm_lockdown.

Anyway, I will agree with most of you and say that dm_overwatch is proabably the worst, if not the least best, of the 3 official maps. Health and Suit are sparse and it, of course, is very easy to attain the RPG and start blasting everyone to bits in a matter of minutes. Not to mention, placing SLAMs everywhere in the stairwell and "third" floor. But then again, if you are experienced enough, you could counter all of that.

I really can't complain about the other two official maps. I like them both and they both have their advantages. dm_lockdown is the best, though an addition of SLAMs would be a sweet consideration. dm_steamlabs, is good, but is too small for my taste in some parts; and that trap where you turn the valve sometimes sucks because it's too damn hard to get out of there 80% of the time.

Overall:
dm_lockdown > dm_steamlabs > dm_depot_rc1(More of a "fun" map) > dm_overwatch

However .. dm_lostvillage > all of
those!

I'm gonna try that map out now. See how it is.

You don't actually have to get out of the gas trap to survive. Just hunker down by the hidden goodies and you won't take too much damage.
