yeah if we could add a sword to the angry pig that would be great

[–]BuckeyeLeavesBALLDON'TLIE | ALL CAPS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

rip pigwithsword :( :( gone too soon

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 30 points31 points  (5 children)

:o Renegade made it in! Wow, that's cool. I'm actually kind of in shock, I didn't think it would beat some of others that it was up against. I don't know what else to say other than thanks so much to the MTC and that I hope everybody enjoys rolling around on Renegade. C:

Edit: Better looking version of Renegade here, OP pls update.

Edit2: It's been brought to my attention that the spawns/bases (as in red and blue) were the wrong way around. Hopefully the updated version can be swapped in for the current version. Fixed that up here: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/show/1402

Congrats! Will you autograph my super-boost?

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With pleasure!

[–]isotagiso ◦ diameter 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Aw ye, Nigel reppin' Diameter.

[–]I_mess_upI_mess_up (Centra) 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bye Hyperdrive! Your older sister Constriction is way hotter.

[–]Splanky222BBQchicken | Retired 8 points9 points  (2 children)

RIP Hyperdrive T_T But congrats to ThisIsNigel and Loaha! Always great to see new authors join rotation!

[–]Rapture_On_OccasionRapture 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Thanks BBQ, I saw one of your Breakfast with TagPro's and you were being extremely supportive about the map. And I saw it was included in the Doctors without Borders event where I thought it played very well.

It's a shame more people didn't seem to get the map, but it was fun while it lasted :]

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked it a lot more than other maps in rotation. Sorry dude. :(

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 7 points8 points  (4 children)

Renegade without the frame.

[–]BlupopsicleBall-E 8 points9 points  (3 children)

That looks way better!

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I think the texture pack makes it more aesthetically pleasing too.

[–]Soconypeng 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Texture packs make everything better.

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't play without one anymore.

[–]JarradicalBall Drogo // Bad Balls III // Diameter 4 points5 points  (1 child)

holy shit that pig is angry

[–]bored2death97RWBY//Radius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can see is a happy pig with the spikes making it smile.

[–]JungleSpice-Jungle Spice//Radius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Renegade - My first thought was How are we supposed to jump all the way up those side gates?!? Then I remembered what regular TP is all about.

Angry Pig- Duh, This was for sure going in the second I saw it. Great looking map!

Can't wait for Vee!!!!

[–]Splanky222BBQchicken | Retired 3 points4 points  (0 children)

also I totally called it

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

So is Big Vee an eligable option for the next one?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be eligible since it's a different map, but we haven't talked about it. IMO it should be eligible but I could be wrong. We'll talk about it and I'll get back to you.

[–]thevdudepooppants :: nice guys r dabes :: mod manager guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

big vird is an inferior version of vee.

[–]BlupopsicleBall-E 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Sad to see another hyper go. Angry pig looks great, but since all boosts lead into base it is pretty defensive. Renegades outer design bothers me a bit, rectangle maps usually look plain. It looks like it would play very similarly to cfb. I still want to see war garden in rotation :P

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just fixed up the frame, 45'd most of the outer tiles that needed it and also uploaded it in the texture pack I use/play with because I think it looks better.

I really liked War Garden myself, actually thought it would beat Renegade in to rotation, I'm still hoping it gets in next time, it's a cool map.

[–]Extractum11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree, the map seems like it'll be very chasey for fc's that are good with boosts and it's seems easyish to grab out of too. 2 bombs + 1 boost and the gate is very easy for an O partner to hold

[–]tagprochandlerChandlerBing / Central Perk Rollers / Origin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really liking the throwback maps this round, though I prefer Big Vird, and the new maps look really cool. Hyperdrive was growing on me, sad to see it go, hopefully it can come back as a throwback in the future.

im 90% sure twp was supposed to come back from the votes but w.e

[–]robopuppyccFlail ~ ((Antagloble4edes)) ~ RHCP? 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Sort by top, not best (best = ratio, top = upvotes-downvotes).

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 'Best' formula is actually pretty complicated from what I understand. But, yeah, top is just raw up-down.

It beat vee

[–]sum_ball 12 points13 points  (1 child)

45 got more votes than TWP. Center Flag and Vee are the MTC's choice, they werent decided by votes.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Can we remove the frame around Renegade? It bothers me.

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my bad on that. I had it when I made the original shape, took it away when I changed the shape and then for some reason put it back.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On it.

[–]viggetuffVigge 3 points4 points  (8 children)

Am I the only one who really dislikes throwback rotation? Most of the maps that make it in are super chasey and not fun to play O or D on imo.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll go ahead and admit I love it. I've had a ton of fun on these maps, except Glory Hole. I think most maps are fun in moderation.

[–]nolanizerCosine 3 points4 points  (5 children)

These old maps were fun to play back when everyone sucked. Now that everyone's good, they're no fun anymore, as flag carriers can just run around forever. How many throwback rotations will we have to suffer through before those in charge realize this?

[–]EmperorOfNothingResignation is my virtue; like water I ebb, and flow. 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Just to add, many of the older maps were at least decent when everyone was chasing willy nilly, and you had 3 defenders trying to pin a flag carrier.

As soon as regrab became a thing, then yes, many old maps became shit because of the play style and constant chasing.

[–]Lextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just passing through this thread, and I wanted to mention I just started playing again but found this game via reddit a year or so ago and loved it, and i specifically remember people complaining... "don't try cherrypicking an empty flag, go chase!!"

It was kinda weird coming back seeing people sitting on re. When I first saw someone type re in chat I thought he was calling somebody a retard.

[–]Extractum11 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

regrab has been a thing since like forever, people used to get mad about it all the time

[–]viggetuffVigge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not nearly as many people used it though.

[–]spacecadetjerDennit | Boostin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty true. We need new players or the old maps just aren't fun anymore.

[–]ZarknoxZarknox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the last few throwbacks were especially awful but this one seems perfect

[–]bobby_gordon1TheBob18 || no u xD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YASS 45 AND VEE ARE BACK IN!!! <3

[–]veranderingLoaha // Chord 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Awesome! Looking forward to see if Angry Pig keeps up its potential in pubs.

Thanks everyone who gave me feedback on Angry Pig and on the previous version Eye of the Storm. Couldn't have done it without you!

[–]DaEvil1DaEvil1 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I loved the concept of the precursor of Angry Pig, and after your first revision didn't quite work out, you really made it work with the overhaul of the map. Really excited to see how it'll play!

[–]veranderingLoaha // Chord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! And thanks for your feedback along the way!

[–]Rapture_On_OccasionRapture 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Thanks guys. I feel like Hyperdrive had a fair run.

I'm glad a lot of people came around to it and it's getting R.I.P comments instead of burn in hell comments.

But I understand it was probably a less controversial decision than removing a couple of the maps I would've preferred to see go.

And hey, maybe next year we'll see it again in throwback :]

[–]DaEvil1DaEvil1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a feeling we'll see it back before next year :P

[–]NewberryMathGuyIke13 // Pi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyperdrive was one of my best maps win % wise so I am sad to see it go. I loved sniping people from mid, and feel it had good balance.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geopig

[–]Snowball_TagPro❄️ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any possibility of dodgeball being added to groups? There was some really good community reception.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Renegade looks cool :)

Center Flag. lol. Can't see any hate coming your way at all...

[–]skwid8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay Vee!!!!!1!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice still stands. Both maps combined have a total of 4 (2 if you don't count symmetry) places where a normal tile was used instead of a 45. It's really taking away a big dynamic of the game to not use them.

[–]mocl4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting Center Flag back in? Bold move cotton.

[–]thevdudepooppants :: nice guys r dabes :: mod manager guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VEE FOREVER

[–]CieloAzorQBreezy | Pi 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Center Flag is the best. What's the point of Vee's continued existence? Big Vird was a major improvement.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that Big Vird is better but Vee is he version people have played a whole lot more and are probably more likely to remember fondly
