CP_Badlands Speculation Thread...

[Omnomnick]

Ok, an email from Valve confirmed a new map named CP_Badlands, which was map originally used for testing but is now being created as part of the next batch of maps becoming available on TF2.

Ok, so what do we think this map will be styled like or include?
We know it is a Control Point map, but anything else we dont know...

(Pure Speculation coming up)
I think the map will be similar to a wild west town, with a few TF2 twists like machinery in some areas etc. The Cps would be located in the town centre and around the town in buildings. The map would be similar to Well, in the sense that it will be simetrical and have 5 CPs....

What do you think?
DISCUSS!!

I see my chat with you make you start speculating
I know there will be kicking ass shooting range.

 

[Omnomnick]

If its in the wild west town, maybe...

If it is called badlands I do really hope it is a nice remake of the official map badlands for team fortress classic. It was my favorite map

Originally it was a capture the flag map, but turning it into a cp map would be ok (although I want more ctf maps!!)

Here is an overview i found of it: http://www.hlportal.de/images/content/tfc/levels/badlands.jpg

cp? I want my ctf_badlands back!

Still pretty cool though.

Badlands was my fav TFC map, I hope they release a CTF version....same with Well.

p.s: More night time maps!

lets make a speculation thread on every single thing valve says

I bet next they're going to release the green box; the black box only cheaper than the orange box.

I hope it's CTF. I'd prefer the next few CP maps to be more non-traditional, like Dustbowl and Gravel Pit.

I don't like linear ctfs too. Ah and I want capture the flag not briefcase

Don't like the look of that already, especially the center, with the 2 crossing paths. They'll just be big crunch areas, which is simply demos and engies blocking the way. More maps like dustbowl are needed, stages of 2 cp's, a first one for time, and a hard second one for the teamwork.

Oh I remember Badlands. It was pretty good.
The middle section never really got blockaded much actually Sion.

 

[SionST]

Hmm, it looks like a CTF...Look at the small red and blue sqaures at the top left corner and bottom right.

 

[Lizardizzle]

OH! that map! i remember that one. it had several paseges to the insode of each base. so you cant really "block off" the route with sentrys

better as a ctf though. no more cp maps valve. please?

 

[AciD]

I want some tc_ maps

That is the overview of the old map from TFC, that's why it is CTF. And those crossing paths are not on the same level, there is a bridge on top, then you have little pathways on the side of the canyon and then you have the bottom of the canyon.It was a huge jump from top to bottom
Check this little pic:

Anyways, that was the old version, Valve might change it completely...

 

[Omnomnick]

It could go either way...


The old well is completely different from the new well...

But the old 2fort is nearly the same as the new 2fort....
