Payload Race - Pipeline: Your First Experiences

[SScagnetti]

Now I looked around to make sure this will not be a dupe thread, but knowing my actions lately in posting on various forums, don't hold me to it.

I just basically wondered what everyone here is thinking of the new Payload style and it's new map, Pipeline. I personally am a HUGE fan of both the map and the style.

The map is a rare one, in that I believe all classes can truly do well here. Every single class can be played well on, through the match. Some of the other payload style maps, or even places like Dustbowl and 2Fort, kinda seemed to force people to play certain classes depending on what part of the round you were on. Goldrush especially can make a lot of classes not worth at all your time depending on how the other team is playing.

The gamemode itself is extremely fun in my opinion. The match is really fast paced with a lot of great fighting occurring around the two bombs. Then the final stage as the carts go up the hill can just get totally insane as both teams scramble onto the narrow ramps to get next to the carts.

That's my opinion. What do you all think?

I really enjoy Pipeline, I just constantly get my ass handed to me. But it's a fun map and I enjoy double payload.

ditto.

I always seem to end up on the losing team lol

Love it. Got a scout hat on our pipeline server too.

I LOVE using the huntsman on this map. I played pipeline with a huntsman until 5am last night.

I didn't even think of it, but you're right, it is nice how every class has things to do. I like that place

We were there last night for our Late Night Fight. Was pretty fun, even though it was my first time playing since the update came out. Scout BONK! fests were for the win.

The gameplay is fun, but I find theres less teamwork and organization than normal payload.

I've always enjoyed PL maps (mostly Badwater and Goldrush, not custom ones)--and the new Payload Race mode and Pipeline map looked awesome to me at first. But I gotta be honest, the first time I played this mode and map, I didn't really like it. I thought the night setting was out of place, and that the map was far too open.

But after giving it more time, and having played it for quite a bit this morning, I've gotta say, I really do appreciate it now. The map itself works great for all classes, especially spies (which I love). I like the fact that the map has a lot of routes along the sides of the game field that people tend to forget (it's fun to use those as an advantage when playing as Spy, or sniper). The Payload Race mode is also really fun now that I've played it more. It's like regular Payload, but more fast paced, and I really like that, since payload on badwater or goldrush is quite a struggle for both teams (when none are stacked).

It's better than I expected, I really enjoy it and I know i'll play on the server often!

I'm loving it so far... been playing it a lot today.

This map blew me away. I didn't think the night time would work, but the night and the whole overall theme of the map is amazing. The game-mode is amazing, I love all the sections -- its just a all out scramble to get it but with teamwork involved. This is one of my favorite maps now, I should be seen in this server a TON (if i can actually get in o.o). We're getting a batch of new regulars on this server which is always great. - - Thank you for making a 24/7 Pipeline server.

I think its extremely fun

This map is great, and I expect it to become even more enjoyable when the 'update-fever' dies down. My only concern is that it can be difficult to play engie, in the traditional fashion of course, especially if both teams are pushing the cart like crazy.

I also love the fact that it's not just a double payload map. It's a race. If you turtle, you will lose eventually. Especially since there is no time limit.

I think Pipeline is great. Goretex and I had one of the greatest shots ever in TF2 history. I shot and killed him and dominated him and as soon as I shot him he fired his bow and got his revenge.

I have to admit, Pipeline is an AMAZING map, it's challenging, yet fun.
the only thing I don't like about it is this one stage... it annoys the hell out of me, it's sooo frustrating 'cause I can't flank

 

[jshotzz]

love the last sequence to the map all out battle, just wish server isn't always full

 

[Chocozumo]

poor peeps running around a nuclear bomb are sitting ducks for a hunter like me....GREAT!

 

[D-Tektive]

this one gets my vote, we need a 24/7 server for this alone

 

[Poison STANG!!]

I really love this map as a spy, there are a lot of routes that are off the main path and not many go there.
I also love how intense it is, and that every class plays a huge part in winning. Engies are a little hard to play on this map for me though.
