I spent an hour talking about the origins of the CTW gamemode, the development of its competitive metagame on Overcast, and the future direction of the gamemode.
I felt somewhat obligated to make this video because CTW has roots back in 2011 before the first versions of PGM were ever tested, and I have a long personal history with the gamemode. CTW is also fairly new to Badlion, and this video explains all the things that separate the gamemode from what might appear to be similar gamemodes like CTF.
I also spend some time on on a GD3 revamp and GD5 as one of the new 5v5 maps.

I said this as I skimmed though, I will write a more detailed response pending me watching the whole thing.

Very interesting to see all these gamemodes be put on a timeline and transitioning into one another. I knew them seperately before, but had no idea they were so closely related. Also love the showcase of GD5 at the end. Shows a lot more goes into map design than some might initially think.A must-watch for anyone who wants to get into CTW.

Very good video! :)Posted on 17 May 2017 - 02:41 PM
Thought it was going to be boring going on for over an hour but it was really interesting to watch. Could've done with some more notes/a script so the first section so it went smoother, but the section on GD5 was really goodPosted on 17 May 2017 - 05:38 PM
I actually wrote one and didn't end up using it very well because it was 5amPosted on 17 May 2017 - 05:42 PM
Never was an OCN player but I am a big fan of Badlion CTF and very much looking forward to the future of objective gamemodes on the server.For somebody who wants to improve at CTW, seeing how the maps and meta changed over the last few years is extremely interesting and useful as I can understand why maps have certain features.
Great Video, really well presented!
