ahh spambowl..one of the worst maps ever to have on a pub server

i have NEVER seen decnt teamplay liek letting a spy thru to nade the SGs, eveyone behind you triggers the SGs and they mow you down as well...then the defending demos who wh00r the nade packs and MIRV and pipebomb you to bits...as soon as the O team gets by the choke points its ok, but there should be WAY more ways to get between the areas..those bottlenecks just plain SUCK!! big time!

Well, to put it bluntly, everything that could ever have gone wrong, at all in the making of a map, did with this one. Well. Maybe Fry_laser, but you get the idea.

The real reason isn't because of the spam directly, even though that' is annoying and hurts my FPS, but the fact that you usually end up with 2 to 5 more defenders than attackers, and most are demos and soldiers. This means that there is going to be so many explosions on point two and three there will very rarly have people to get though, and if someone does of course you have SGs as backbones. Point one is easy just cause there are two chokes they have to defend... a bit tougher.

So yes, if you consider getting real lucky and surviving the spam from the choke point challanging, i could see how you would like this map.

I like action packed maps too, but, this is just flat out meaningless for anything other than people that like to be on Defense and kill lots and lots of people, since going from the respawn to the choke doesn't take long.

See what you really need to fix all your dustbowl problems, is to go defender and play scout, and run down into the pit to drop caltrops. So what if your team takes a bit of mirror; they are casulties of spam.

An attacking team with a few good spy's with tear up any offense on dustbowl. Just hang back for a minute or so till the grenades run short then just go prancing on in and obliterate the defense for you team. As far as the 5-2 ratio's those people haven't heard of TPF obviously .

I agree with BRN, I usually play O spy, and just wait for the first wave of spam to stop. Then go on an SG destroying party. If you've managed to take out all the sgs, most times the other defenders will back off, save that lonely sniper who is hungry for kills. I usually only play dustbowl on Pete's cause I ping good there.
