So, whats your verdict on TF2 KOTH mode?

i think how good koth is greatly depends on the map. more so then any of the other mods (well, except maybe payload)

nucleus is an AMAZING koth map. i hated it when it was arena only, but koth is such a great fit for it. i enjoy how the point seems to swing from one team to the other a lot in a round

sawmill is fun, but not as great as nucleus

viaduct sucks. the teams basically only have one direction to take to get to the point, hence both teams just smack into each other and it feels like too much of a cluster****. also, it seems like the first team to take the point will almost certainly win. usually, they'll hold the point for 3 minutes straight, lose it in overtime, and then get it back for the win

Yeah, Viaduct is a little bad, because theres 2 hills, Demos can pretty much run this map with Stickies, and still get support form there team, Demos need to be nerfed IMO or lower the sticky count, it only takes about 4 to kill a sentry anyways...

Seriously, if the other team is full of demomen, you can pretty much leave the server then and there.

I think Sawmill is superb for it. Really enjoy playing that map, it gets really competitive.

I don't mind Viaduct. I agree it's a shame how there's only one way of approaching the capture point, but still I've had a few enjoyable rounds on it. Perhaps it's because I usually play as Demoman.

I don't like Nucleus all that much. I just get frustrated by snipers, and by pyros camping outside your base's main exit.

Overall it's a great game mode, but Payload and Capture Point are still my favourites.

I have to say, after playing Nucleus on it, this could be my new favorite gamemode. (besides payload and 'double payload') It was really fun, and most unlockable weapons that weren't used as much before (cloak and dagger, FAN, sandman, backburner) have become really helpful in Nucleus KOTH with scouts stunning peeps, spies camping, shooting people off the hill into pit via FAN and backburner taking down people in the hill. its just dang fun, lets put it that way.

Another thing, Pyro's Percussion Blast + Nucleus = Win.cd_rom

It's just too funny seeing spies and scouts running backwards and running into the saws in Sawmill XD

I admit running into them when I'm a pyro :p. Was trying to flare a demo man while running backwards and BAM! stupid saws!

KOTH is great. I never play Arena because it doesn't seem as balanced as say counterstrike, I always just run into my counter class. I always liked Sawmill & Nucleus and with the introduction of KOTH and CP I can play now them.

Viaduct is okay. Everytime I join a 24/7 KOTH server it changes maps and I think to myself "Great map is switching to Viadumb"

I think its ok, playing with a small amount of players is more fun
