King of the Hill

[dormedas]

So, as of today, Team Fortress 2 is receiving a King of the Hill gametype.

That made me wonder: Is there a chance that eGO may add a King of the Hill server?
(By "add", I don't mean another server, but rather change one server to King of the Hill... we don't want more expenses.)

Any thoughts?

I think it's a possibility if the gametype is popular.

I am excited to see how Valve specifically implements the game type. It could either be very good or very boring.

I think that'll really determine whether or not it gets a server

I'll give it a shot though. It seems interesting.

omg can we say pipeline just as a cp. Im going to assume do to the nature of this it will be without a timer, which means it will turn into a turtling fest, or just a one sided domination fest. Can't we get some more true pl maps?

0/2 valve, let's see how day 3 goes.

Ya I really like the idea of KOTH, seems to have always been a map type just never official

I'm sure they will have a server dedicated to KOTH as soon as the update comes out. Maybe hold an event to have people try it out.

He's not promoting his own thread, we just don't need to clutter the forum with lots of threads discussing the same thing.

this isn't the same thing, his post was the first day update, this post is the second day update. and tbh it's a little hard to discusses only one of the two topics in the same thread cause his thread is already clustered.

There's just no pleasing some people. This is in no way similar to pipeline.
-There are TWO carts in pipeline
-There is ONE capture point in KotH

-You can't turtle because if you hold it for 3 minutes, games over
-You must revert the capture, its not an instant flip

KotH is a very popular form of gameplay in most FPS games. You love it or hate it but its a different approach to the traditional cp or ctf maps TF2 is known for. KotH has been around just as long as these two modes have and is tried and true. Atleast give it a try before you just dismiss it.

Besides, the updates are free and they have been working round the clock for the past 2 years to keep the game fresh, so lets have a little more respect for this sort of thing.

I wasn't refrencing it to pipeline as a pl map. I was just saying this could either turn into a stalemate cause someone has to cap the first point somehow, but i guess tht depends on how hard it is to capture it OR it will be a one sided dominations. If you play pipeline alot you will see that it will be either one of these two the majority of the time which is why whenever it comes into the rotation it is rtv'd out of within minutes
