Robin Walker explains Team Fortress 2's dynamic levels

[DeathBlade182]

His Australian manliness is outstanding.

[Mrgreatestfreakout]

a genius.

[Fibah]

:O i totally played in your server Heffe

[0ceanlight]

that looks like dota 2 logo... hmmmm

[Ruzihm]

I think I'm the only person who actually enjoyed hydro :x

[xogBFishY]

Hydro... ugh.

[TheGentlemanlyHeavy]

Where's his hat?

[lolololololololtoast]

FUCK YOU ROBIN WALKER FOR TAKING AWAY EVERYTHING THAT MADE TF2 FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GAY FAGGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MondoMiniman]

@lolololololololtoast I hope your joking, he helped bring us tf2. Without we would just keep getting owned in cs 1.6.

[lolololololololtoast]

@MondoMiniman Im not .The fucker let TF2 become unbalanced and removed civies :c

[MondoMiniman]

@lolololololololtoast complain all you want, this change is allowing more players to join tf2 and see how it is. You're probably mad cuz you bought this game a week or 2 before it became free. That or you suck so bad that even f2p's are beating you.

[lolololololololtoast]

@MondoMiniman oh damn you are an idiot.I have had this game since 2009.I never said anything about F2P.By unbalanced i mean stupid weapons like soda popper,reserver shooter for pyro.Stupid class things like demoknights,and that the tf2 team focuses more on hats than the game.

[MondoMiniman]

@lolololololololtoast when you complain doesnt matter about what, it always involves the f2p update. Every single person. I'm pretty sure that pissed you off when it came out. So what if stupid weapons come out you just deal with it and stfu.

[lolololololololtoast]

@MondoMiniman Here we go with the F2P update.I never said anything that i did not like the F2P.My argument has nothing to do with the F2Ps.And why cant i complain about the stupid OP weapons?They make the game unbalanced and its the TF2 devs teams laziness that is at fault.I mean really,cant they come up with better cons than NO CRITS.

[MondoMiniman]

@lolololololololtoast if you hate those weps so much why dont you just play with the default weps, they're the most balanced and best weapons.

[lolololololololtoast]

@MondoMiniman oh wow are you dumb.How do i control what some one else uses.If someone wants to use the soda popper what am i supposed to do?

[MondoMiniman]

@lolololololololtoast didn't you read what i wrote? I said YOU use the default weapons. If you're good enough you can easily beat that p.o.s FaN copy. Besides all these weps open up new opportunities to reach new unreachable spots scout could have not done before. Fan+atomizer=quadruple jump. Two cheap weps together bring a good result

[lolololololololtoast]

@MondoMiniman wow you really are stupid.What does me using the defaults mean in terms of balancing?If i use the scatter gun how will that effect the people using the unbalanced weapons?And the good result is you mentioned does not use an unbalanced weapon

[MondoMiniman]

@lolololololololtoast I dont even want to argue with you anymore, seeing as its not getting past that thick skull of yours. WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THOSE OP WEPS. IF YOU'VE HAD THE GAME FOR 2 YEARS, as you say you did, THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE OUT THE PLAYERS USING THE "OP" WEPS. I've had this game for 2 years as well and i cant usually dominate a combo medic/heavy using the brass beast as a scout. I can take down 2 scouts by myself. There is no op just terrible player like you.

[lolololololololtoast]

@MondoMiniman So you are backing down becuse you realize you are wrong?Ok continue prasing Robin as the worlds best game designer.And sure you can take down heavy medics as a scout if they are both bad players.And its easy to take down scouts as most classes.As for there being no OP weapons,you are lying to your self.How is a Scatter gun that crits all the time balanced?How is a Rocket launcher that restores health with no cons balanced?Tf2 reload is broken and no one relises on random crits

[MondoMiniman]

@lolololololololtoast I'm not backing down because im wrong but because your to big an idiot and bad player that just thinks the OP weapon means the better player. Hell you're probably just joining all crit servers and keep thinking why everyone crits your terrible ass. The black box has only 3 shots which, unless your the kind that just spams without aiming, is a decent con that fits its pro. Robin isnt the best game developer but he's still a damn good one who puts out alot of damn good games.

[lolololololololtoast]

@MondoMiniman

I dont join all crit servers.So that part of you argument is useless.The black box has no con.Have you seen the Tf2 reload animation?It cuts halfway in and lets you shoot even tho it animation has not finished.Have you seen a good soldier use the black box?it makes them much much more difficult to kill then they should be.

[MondoMiniman]

@lolololololololtoast most black box soldiers are noobs who plan on spamming the enemy to death, hmm i wonder who that reminds me of. All classes let you shoot mid animation, with the exception of sniper, unless you have no more ammo so its not like they have an advantage over you.

[lolololololololtoast]

@MondoMiniman Yes they are noobs .Like most noobs use OP weapons.Like you

[MondoMiniman]

@lolololololololtoast I use mainly default with the occasional milk and candy stick for scout. I hate the black box because the removed 4th rocket really messes up your streak, that and soldier isnt that fun.

[jasonz777z]

Robin walker is more sexy than I thought he would be. :3

[turkeysandvich]

hatshatshats

[jibestboy]

what? attack and defense? is this some kind of war game? i thought it was a hat collecting simulator!

[TheLackofattack]

Now we add hats to the equation: PERFECT!

[SirKemper1]

Ironically, the game mode he is describing, despite being interesting and dynamic, is almost never played, or acknowledged.

[Anthony74561]

@SirKemper1 which is very sad. tc_hydro is probably one of my favorite maps in the game, along with granary and gravel pit.

[GlennMagusHarvey]

@Anthony74561 I like tc_hydro quite a bit too, and am sad that people don't play it much.

[Jitterskull]

@SirKemper1 Most people play for frags as overpowered classes and only on fragfest maps, unless it's 2fort for new players, which is not considered gameplay he mentioned on board.

[ZachiswakYT]

i cant understand any sports but this is obvious to me :p

[LuisReefTank]

I see no hats drawn in that board.

He must be explaining the wrong game.

[yacanman11]

how dare he say "Carve" that is a forbidden word in tf2 mapping

[xawzekz1337]

Fuck robin

[drill6912]

that's not robin walker, robin walker always has at least one hat on at all times.

[zhiheng2005]

He is talking about tc_hydro dynamic map levels

Which is used on all Territory Control gamemode maps

[qscwdv2007]

@zhiheng2005 All three of them.

[NakedCreep]

Robin Walker is like Cliffy B. but with a hat on.

[TehMoMoman]

Robin Walker. A god among TF2 players.

[henry9994]

Isn't he explaining the map hydro?

[zcdarktide]

I've been in love ever since I saw him at GDC...

[RockoStarrYou]

I fucking love Hydro. But people barely play it. Instead they go for dumbass 2fort.

[yorrickm]

I just wanted to see what the guy writing the tf2 blog posts looks like...

[Taizinator]

Like Hydro

[ToastedEgg89]

Was this about Hydro?

[iPootis]

@ToastedEgg89 Yeah. so much hype those days.

[Jitterskull]

"You buy the product, you get the content ... We make more money because more people buy it, not because we try and nickel-and-dime the same customers."

- Robin Walker, Valve Software. 2007

[TheRandomEpicVideos]

@Jitterskull haha

[EvilMonkey401]

@Jitterskull Haha now look at Tf2

[LiquidFriction]

@Jitterskull Oh, how things have changed in 3 short years!

[wv4life29]

@Jitterskull LOL well said my friend

[edfreak9001]

@Jitterskull Theres nothing stopping you from hitting "delete" on those crates.

[Jitterskull]

@edfreak9001 which crates?

[edfreak9001]

@Jitterskull The Mann. Co crates.

[CaptnMorshu]

@Jitterskull Funny how it's the exact opposite now

[Jitterskull]

@CaptnMorshu Meh.

[RustyIShacklefurd]

@CaptnMorshu But that's because everyone already owns it.

[CaptnMorshu]

@RustyIShacklefurd True story.

[MasterOfTheLobsters]

"Short rush"

Yeah right.

[mantax55]

I'm kinda fine that TF2 is free now, I mean his original Quake Team Fortress mod was, So was Classic TF for awhile and now 15 years after the Quake mod, TF2 is free. Now I just wish the noobs would L2P

[misdekpkac]

I will eat you for making tf2 free to play

[Flamable3000]

thumbs up if you want to kill him for making tf2 free to play

[ChemicalCorpse1]

@Flamable3000 why would you do that?

[TheStrangeGuy1]

In other words: HATS.

[DenyDenDenzel]

Whatever happened to John Cook anyway? He seems to be less acclaimed and/or recognized than Robin Walker - yet they both pretty much have the same job

[CMF2790]

everyone knows this fag just adds hats

[whylus]

@CMF2790 is there some other way to contribute to TF2?

[orangebluemango]

he plays on my server

[skellington15]

Somebody give me a quick bio about this guy, he a joke or a hero?

[Shotoran]

@skellington15 He's a developer

[billthedestoryer]

@skellington15 hes the creator of tfc tf2 tf and tf2 brotherhood in arms

[KRAUSER0130]

Is Paul Walker his brother? Btw thank you for hats Robin

[Lazzars]

great new gameplay experience? fuck that, let's just make crack hats for stupid people and be done with it.

they had to do something with the game after hydro turned out to be shit, i wish they would give this another shot though. only so many 5 point maps i can play before going postal

[deltamode8]

his aussie accent is still intact but i can hear creeping signs of an american one, which is never a good sign

[CombineHgrunt]

Well.. 2007, the Hype about a complete new game experience like tc_hydro.

Now we are in 2011, and get bombed with Promo-hats.

[pastaofdoom]

I didn't see any hats. This video is wrong.

[qwerty222999]

Is this Hydro he is trying to make?

[iPootis]

@qwerty222999 He explains Hydro.

gives people hype before playing.

[itarethetroll]

TC is an awesome idea. The reason why it didn't get popular is because Hydro is lame.

[xcallmethebigggx]

Robin gimmie some of your hats on tf2 yeah thanks

[starscreamer44]

wat it should be is. "okay so here are the central 4 hats"

[Phatxam]

I so want to punch him in the face.

[joemanYT]

Can you ask Gabe to explain WHERE THE FUCK EPISODE 3 IS?!

[scarface4724]

@joemanYT HAHAHAHA ikr gabe WTF! i like robin tho he's cool unlike GABE with his bannhammer in tf2

[80007ap]

Now that drawing board is just full of hat doodles

[FOGoticus]

@80007ap So true...

[igrenade]

he's such a homo

[DaGameYouLost]

@igrenade you too

[igrenade]

@DaGameYouLost

umad bro

[Noruzenchi86]

This cannot be robin, where are his hats?

[Fosax]

@Noruzenchi86 This was before he turned into a hatnut, back on 2007.

[JetFireSauri]

u suck robin u made the game worse than ever i havent been getting any items since 2009 u dick

[londonshammer]

gaben much better dislike

[Juggernaut004]

I love Hydro so much, but the problem is that nobody bothers to play it because it becomes a camp-deathmatch-fest, where no one bothers to capture the control point. I was hoping the Engie update would spark some players to jump back into it, but it seems to have made it WORSE; all people do is camp their area with their Wranglers and now it is seriously going to be extinct by the time Meet the Medic comes out. On the bright side, it's more challenging! Robin do something about it :/

[InteractiveBUD]

He's so Australian ;)

[PancakesoftheLove]

Needs. More. HATS.

[stickmansam1]

I can hear his australian accent :D <3

[XXBrowenXX]

I actually like hydro, I wish more servers would have it

[denhamrp]

I thought he was describeing dustbowl? Oh well.

[Combustionz]

Fuck you Robin.

[kartoffel13]

zomg new gamemode confirmed

[Je2iah]

@kartoffel13

No this is TC, i.e. Hydro, which was the most hyped yet failzy map of all time. Of all time.

[LinkinPark350]

tc_hydro mechanic?

[MarioKartFigure]

@TheToenninga toenigga go home, you're not welcome here

[BigDaddy7O]

he is true gentelmanne

[MrForsakenBacon]

If all Austrailians have huge muscles and mustaches, I guess the most awesome Austrailians don't have any of those things.

[HcmJames]

is this for tc maps?

[dabest149]

@HcmJames yes

[Voikanaa]

your awesome

[yoyoman127]

Robin Walker isn't as insane as I thought he was. He didn't pull off a Saxton Hale once. Australians these days...

[KNOXKORNER94]

where gaben

[PeopleR2sensitive]

HATS ARE GAY

[MrMIGHTYGIZMO]

i thought he was gona talk about hats >:( tf2 is the world #1 WAR-THEMED HAT SIMULATOR...

[chrismostert0]

where's his tinfoil hat?

[AlonTavor]

This is no Robin. Hes not wearing a hat.

[awesomefaceweegee]

Where's his horse?

[Lizzardman666]

Where's his hat?

[themaster0fclimax]

@Lizzardman666

this was before tf2 became americas #1 war-themed hat simulater XD

[Ocilet440]

Imagine if he sent someone a request! haha

[george2alex1]

[WormPowered]

[FlyingAce1015]

[Kirix]

[TheChrislikespie]

[TacoBoyManThing]

[Xenoocean]

@panefuldeath SOME of them.

[Jitterskull]

@panefuldeath Troll detected.

[MarioKartFigure]

@Zvlo I fucking know, right?

[MarioKartFigure]

Added him on my Steam friends list, and he blocks me. LOL.

[TehWoodPcker]

Well, think it this way. You cant even think how many requests he gets.

[MarioKartFigure]

XD indeed.

[mauricio1gonzalez]

if i was him, i would block everyone as well, or not even accept the requests, he would get spammed 24/7 if he didnt block

[MarkQP]

@MarioKartFigure

same

[gsp1995]

We're all fired by watching this video, that means we can't join Valve because we're already fired, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[Planetary0]

Spawn times drop from normal to zero as the round goes on, until at the end it's instant respawn.

Change that and the mode might just become tolerable.

[9ish]

he is so awesome

[thikKl0udz]

They wanted Hydro to have the most replayability out of any map with this style of point battle, but alas hydro fails hard as one of the worst maps to play simply because the "attack the control point but don't let yours get capped at the same time" style of gameplay is just atrocious and does nothing but cause deathmatch turtles.

[ultraanime]

go play dustbowl then if u dont like it

[MephyBenny]

Personnaly I love that gameplay, it's so different. But there's only problem like the points are hard to defend sometimes and also the maps arent not very.. well nice...

Another thing I could say that should be added it's setup time, especyally at the last point you need to defend, ytou dont have time to place or build a sentry (if you're the only engi).

[SamOliver4]

Is he talking about Territorial Control and Hydro? Or is this a new game mode that's similar, but slightly different?

[CipherMind117]

he's describing dustbowl style maps, ones with multiple legs.

[constance0202]

What?

[TeisatsuRevenga]

I pity Robin Walker, so much.

[zooomm]

i envy him

[TeisatsuRevenga]

Two words.

FAN. GIRLS.

[zooomm]

^^

well i guess i am a fan. he happens to have made a kick ass game. and has a cool accent.

Even though this idea turned out to be a shitty map

[dougpecklord]

Hydro is a shitty map? DUDE ITS THE BEST MAP IN THE GAME!

[zooomm]

It's a great concept but it's no Dustbowl. It looks, not done.

[kilermitko]

what map is he talking about ?

[zooomm]

cp_hydro

[fabrydesign]

tc_hydro not cp_

[zooomm]

thank you :3

[tacobelldriver]

how come?

[TeisatsuRevenga]

Slash Fangirls.

THE HORROR.

[tacobelldriver]

wtf kind of reply is that??

[pariah979]

Robin walker is an awesome guy, Aussies ftw
