Blackmesa

[Dragonhill]

Blackmesa is my favorite map...hands down! While my favorite class on the map is demoman I have played and enjoyed every class on the map and that is one of its' attractions - it is fun for any class. Great job Dragonhill. It is also the reason I joined eGo.

Damn,, 2 guys joined eGO due to BM?

never counted on it doing that..kewl beans

Dragonhill, I still feel that there should be a map in the spawn room so that it is a bit more newb friendly, I also didnt like the change in where L and C were located, but its still a great map!

Carmine,
i'm going ahead with more test changes for the v2 that will add more to the maps routes and capture feel.
after i have a final version i'll be looking into a "classic" version of blackmesa where the old spawn used to be. it will be a toss up but it's funny how the spawn area can define a map....weird.

I agree, blackmesa is the most frustrating map

Actually three, Dragon, the BM server and a little help form Iceman made me join.

I like blackmesa because it feels the most class balanced map I've played so far. Pyros may dominate the vent system, and there is many corners for them to be behind, but if you're a soldier you can launch them in the air to get those flames away from you. There are plenty of evil sniper spots, but there are at least 2 or 3 ways to get behind any sniper on that map. Spies get a playground of corners and hallways to make their much needed emergency exits. And engineers really nail down the "Area denial" part of the job description down...
I have become so used to meeting up with all 9 classes on blackmesa that I was a bit surprised when I joined some random servers and found half of each team to be demoman, with the occasional pyro and engineer.

Anyway, those are my opinions I've generated by playing there (almost nonstop).

I'll just throw in my 2 cents (although due to inflation, it might more like 6 or 7 cents now), anyway - I love the map. I'm not a strong player, but this map really makes you work as a team, hence team fortess. I have several buddies that have been jumping on it as well - and they love it too. It's well constructed with plenty of room to move around without taking a ridiculous amount of time running to the other end to cap or resume your battle...I've really enjoyed the play time on it. I also have really enjoyed playing with =(eGO)=? peeps. I hope to keep playing on your servers.

Make that 3 guys; and I donated.

That being said I look forward to see the improvements - the keepalive for the map can be frustrating.

EDIT: Or rather 4 guys, as I just saw Kascade's post. It's kind of funny because a lot of the guys I like playing with/against here - Iceman, Ramba, Kascade, etc have all said that they love the map, just like me!

I love Blackmesa, but I haven't really tried learning the newest version. I was in love with the original.

BM is one of the best maps for spys hands down
