Anyone tried pl_dustbowl?

[Operational]

I haven't managed to play that much on it but I've liked what I have played. It's a nice twist on my favourite map.

pl_dustbowl started as a joke, to prove my point that goldrush is dustbowl v2. but seeing as everyone loves it and its a blast to play. i thought everyone else would like to play it.

Looks interesting. Slightly worried about the balance, dustbowl is quite tight, so I can foresee Demospam...

Well demospam is often around in dustbowl.

I do like how this mixes up the defensive points, I found I was using lots of different spots for sentries, which I always enjoy doing.

Wow, it certainly looks interesting. It might also be possible that Valve are releasing it anyway. Or were. It sounds like something they'd do.

 

[Rossell]

Yeah, I quite like this map, especially nice how the rocket explodes at the end.

That sounds lol. I only play Valve maps out of some twisted sense of... something... but I could probably bend my personal rules for this. :3

You never know, they could bring out a Dustbowl (PL).

I'd certainly appreciate it.

I told everyone in the Hl2.net Chatroom that this map was excellent. It really is fun to play. Valve should make an official version.

EDIT: The link is only B3, I have seen an even more up to date one than that. It has the cart go out of the normal Dustbowl boundries and behind the large building at the start of Stage 3. It really works out well.

Awesome map, I love it to death. I never really liked dustbowl that much until this came out, it always seemed very repetitive.

Yeah, I palyed it recently, and in my opinion, the cart maps are great.

ctf > cart > tc > cp

It's called "Payload" aka pl

I quite like tc, actually. Sure, it's boring at first, but really it's quite ingenius. And I've been enjoying it more and more, recently. Plus, I think it's just hydro which isn't the best map. I'm sure they can create a better tc map than hydro.

looks very intersesting? where can i get this map?

 

[Operational]

There is a link to the download page in the first post. Or you can just join a game that is playing the map (search by map in the server browser).

PL_dustbowl is a great map, if the guy keep working on it to perfect it, Valve will almost certainly make it official.

PL_DBheights is superior.

 

[Mahalis]

It's a lot of fun, particularly as a Spy on defense - there's a ton of alternate routes to get behind people, especially on the first/second points.

PL_DBheights is superior.

I downloaded it to take a look but I never found any servers for it.

I played this map a couple of times. Gives you a whole new perspective on the map. Quite refreshing since I play Dustbowl almost exclusively.
