Won't expect to see it until we have at least 9 maps actually. At least maybe soon we can get ranked splatzones mode playable with friends or Tower mode playable with friends. I doubt we'll ever see more rotation then 3 maps every 4 hrs per mode though.

I would really like a party system. Tried playing with my bro and we were faced off most of the time. I guess it is good cause there was no pub stomping...but I really like pub stomping.

They get some poo poo for lack of content but I kind of like the trickle of maps and guns. I'm usually done with a game after a week but this keeps everything somewhat fresh.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

I like the trickle of stages and guns, as well as the 4-hour rotation, since it lets you get better acquainted with the stages/weapons and their nuances. I remember first playing TF2 a few years into its existence and being overwhelmed by the stage selection at the time and being utterly unable to keep up with more experienced players because I couldn't get well acquainted with any of the maps or loadouts until I'd been playing for a few weeks.

That and it prevents player favoritism keeping out stages by ensuring that every stage gets playtime.

I disagree, Mall is one of my favorites.

I just wish they didn't have the death grates, but I guess the sniper positions would be pretty hard to defend otherwise...

what do you mean that hotkey disappeared
Stupid idea for a set.
    • Sporty Bobble Hat - Tenacity main, high chance of Quick Respawn sub, mid chance of Special Saver sub
    • Zekko Hoodie - Ninja Squid main, high chance of Special Saver sub, mid chance of Special Charge Up sub
    • Turquoise Kicks - Special Charge Up main, high chance of Run Speed Up sub, mid chance of Swim Speed Up sub
My weapons of choice are the .52 Gal Deco and the Inkbrush, so the basic plan is to hang back and ink up the ground while Tenacity and Special Charge Up feed off of my main weapon/sub weapon/dead teammates and vomit Inkstrikes. Some smartass comes back to my base and kills me? Congrats, you've separated yourself from the action and are doing nothing to help your team, you've given me more floor to ink, and I'm going to be back in five seconds with minimal loss to my special gauge.

So how does this look? Is it solid, or is there better gear I should be using, or am I dumb for thinking there's such a thing as a good Inkstriker set?

Definitely the weakest map. I feel like replacing the pools of water in the middle with solid ground would be a really simple way to free up the chokepoints a bit.

It's fun until you're on the receiving end. The current system is annoying sometimes, but I'd rather have this than getting stomped every time I play alone.

I don't know, I kinda like Arowana Mall. Yes, it has that choke point in the middle, but y'know, I never found it to be a necessary point to be. Unless it's on Ranking. But even then the catwalks have been connected so there are other points to get there. Try a different strategy.
