@@PurpleBlueishVision bro cannot take jokes. Also bruh I first played the game in 2017 and came back in 2020, also even if I wasn’t playing those 3 years doesn’t mean I haven’t heard from other people or watched videos abt the evolution of map difficulty bruh.
I stopped playing FE2 around 2019, a little after Blue Moon and group butotns were added. It's cool to see how the game has evolved since then. Thank you for this video!
5:09 on release, pc was slightly harder than blue moon but was nerfed a bit later for some reason. Blue moon became slightly harder after the buff due to the jump down at the end of the first climbing section being changed to be harder and the shortcut being patched as well
I think community map difficulty also just recently went up to difficulty 7+ Really fun to see the development as the community gets better at the game
Yes - I think it goes like Crazy++, Crazy+++, Crazy++++ and then Infinite or something. But I've never needed to venture past Crazy+ so I'm not sure. Also, seeing the development of difficulty was probably the best part while researching for this video.
It's been roughly a year since I've played fe2, and seeing the hardest maps I've beaten (Agitato 1.0, technological destruction extreme ver, Boltzone revamped ver), definitely shows how far this game has come. I remember back in the pre-Poisonous Chasm and pre-crazy days, shoot, taking it back even further, the days when Lava Mines was the first challenge map in the game, where maps like old shutdown and hyperspace were the hardest in the game (both I have beaten solo). I still have my hopes for shutdown being added (though I'm pretty sure no one even cares about that map anymore). But seeing this, I DEFINITELY have to step my game up when I start playing again. Great video. You earned a sub Axiom is way harder than every crazy combined /j
Yeah, a lot of people have talked about a similar video but with CM instead (I know you didn't directly say that but you did mention old CM maps), crazy to think we've gone that far in all these years. Also, Axiom is legitimately "hard" (RNG) right now. Axiom is impossible if you get a bad spawn, and Crazyblox still hasn't fixed it.
active volcanic mines was a crazy+ when it was highlighted but changed to a 5.9 when it got permanent. Nice evolution vid it was very entertaining to watch
Do you mean AVM was a Crazy+ at the time of it being highlighted? Asking because it used the Crazy difficulty in game. (Also thanks, glad you enjoyed!)
Hey! Nice video I used to play fe2 a lot and knew a bunch of shortcuts and tricks, but once they patched one of the tricks (wallhops) also they added like 5000 new maps so I stopped playing. Also around the time I left most of the major fe2 players had already quit as well (nolyswag gabquishyy and other people but mostly speed runners) I came back to the game to try it out after 1.5+ years of not playing but was disappointed since another trick was patched as well (backjumps)
Yeah a lot of OG's do not play anymore. I joined in September 2018 and I also quit the game in early 2020, and returned around 1.5 years later. I have various issues with the current game but I enjoy it enough to play it daily and make content on it, although I'm not really a speedrunner or a player who likes to complete stupidly hard maps in CM. Playing Flood Escape Classic made me realise the potential for shortcuts in FE2, if Crazyblox wasn't so incessant on patching them. If you haven't checked out FEC, please do as the shortcuts in that game are insane.
Thanks for keeping me entertained while having lunch :) I was in your server a few days ago and you said you had 212 attempts (maybe more, maybe less) so it's nice to know you beat it 10 attempts later :)
My list (hardest to easiest) I might miss some maps, it doesn't mean I don't think they're hard. 1. Rustic Jungle. obvious. 2. Active Volcanic Mines. obvious. 3. Decaying Silo. obvious. 4. Snowy Stronghold. It wouldn't be hard if the creator knew how to make a map sightreadable in the slightest. 5. Ignis Peaks. The map I view as my hardest completion. 6. Sandswept Ruins. My favorite map and hardest according to the community. 7. Blue Moon. Not too hard, but still is very easy to die on. 8. Dark Sci-Facility. Super hard pacing, that long jump that I still die to sometimes, overall is harder for me than PC. 9. Poisonous Chasm. The only crazy I beat over 90% of the time. 10. Sinking Ship. A good test of a player's own skill rather than being carried. 11. Satomi Springs. Fast paced with hard jumps. 12. Beneath The Ruins. I never understood why people thought it was so hard. 13. Magmatic Mines. The last map I'll die to without messing up horribly or a lazy server. 14. Lost Desert. 15. Gloomy Manor. 16. Familiar Ruins. 17. Dark Sci-Facility. 18. Sunken Citadel. 19. Poisonous Forest. 20. Almost every other hard plus many normals, all the same. 21. Marred Dreams 22. Decrepit Seas 23. Buried Oasis 24. Lost Woods 25. Oriental Grove 26. Forsaken Era 27. Retro Coast 28. Axiom 29. Zemblanity 30. Crystal Caverns 31. Castle Tides
Fun Fact: AVM Mirrored actually is literally harder than the normal one, the mirrored version has all the shortcuts and safespots patched, and some new details. The normal one has not changed yet because of the lock-in policy.
@@shadowv6859 Maps can no longer be updated once they are in game. They can be visually updated (although I don't believe this has happened yet) but cannot receive gameplay changes. Also, I don't think this applies to Highlights.
Really good and informative video! I really enjoyed it. Sub-Zerospehere would have made a solid Crazy+ map for this month as it's Christmas. But I'm glad we got Rustic Jungle as it's not bad either. Also, an update on the FE2022 Project: It is now renamed to the name "FE2: Rehydrate Project" due to people making fun of the fact that remakes were still being made past 2022. And also, I believe the unported maps are almsot finished being ported. So I believe it will take at least a week or so. Of course, this is just me assuming.
Interesting. I'll most likely be back at school by the time the maps are ported, but I could easily work on the video over the weekend when I first go back (assuming your prediction is true) Also, I was convinced it was going to be Sub-Zero. Crazyblox posted a random screenshot of him loading three maps: SZS, DR and one other Crazy+ I forgot the name of. He (or his community manager) posted fanart of SZS around a month back, which was odd as the map hadn't been Highlighted before.
@@just_ducky Yeah, I'm very sure the maps are almost finished being ported as one of the developers of the project recently made a message detailing a summary of the map remakes they have made so far on the Discord post, which make me fairly certain that all the maps are probably going to be playable soon. A week is just an assumption and not actually something the developers said. But I'm sure they will be ported very soon.
@@just_duckyAn update on the project: The creator of the Sinking Ship remake has finally confirmed that it is currently in the process of being ported and should be done so soon if no problems are run into.
@@sunshineplayz5575 Yeah I took a look at the thread (or whatever its called) yesterday and saw a message regarding all the map IDs and the ones that are not ported yet. I'll keep looking at it every now and then, hopefully I'll be able to make the video next month!
@@just_ducky it had the initial revamp when it was added (blue box texture and some room revamps, like the horizontal button room) and then recently (already like 9 months ago) it got some of its aspects improved(like lava speed and specially the tower part [button 4 and 5] with some platforms being remove and just leaving the big round pipes. It went from 4.9(original BM) to 5.1(classic BM) to today star rating ( 5.2 - 5.4 BM i Dont remember)
As of AVM getting mirror support , mirror DOES change a few jumps: button 3 skip is DEAD *crab rave * , the first wall jump skip on the tower is buffed and most likely DEAD, and the final room has increased lava speed on mirror for no reason (this isn’t because you spawn late, the timed doors always make you normal schedule. The lava right after button 5 is pressed is SIGNIFICANTLY faster than mirror - less . Active Mirror Mines is not a true Mirror and thus adds difficulty.
Even now with all the new permanent highlights, desert ruins is still the hardest among them all, and only got even harder with it’s final update, the only map with the same star rating is abandoned junkyard.
You could make an argument for Central Mass Array as well. Haven't properly tried to beat the new version of DR so I can't really say how much harder it is.
@@just_ducky central mass array is a 6.6 whilst desert ruins and abandoned junkyard are both a 6.7, plus (this is a personal thing) I’m attempting a jump from sub-zerosphere to central mass array and it’s going surprisingly well, only roadblock that really remains is the backwards truss jump near the start of the core’s explosion
@@just_ducky Although I didn’t play much in that time period, I feel like BM got a bit harder right after the sliding changes. But because I still have a video of me beating BM solo on the old version, I’ve compared the two and it seems like the old version was maybe a bit harder. Of course this may be biased because OG BM was my favorite map to come to the game ever. Other than Beanos.
@@cole0524 Alright. Although there are other things to consider, such as your skill improving between the two versions (especially if you're using footage of BM closer to its initial release).
Early 2021: Escapee missions and Lost pages Mid 2021: Group buttons event [removed Mid 2024] Late 2022: Fog, Mirror, and Exploding Buttons [now Chaotic Buttons] Early 2023: Exploding [Chaotic] buttons buff Late 2024: Freaky Mode, Speed Up, Slow Down, and Tectonic Shift (ALL IN ONE WEEK)
@@just_duckyI kinda miss that time period when it was blue moon and just poisonous chasm actually. Instead of retro mode they should add some sort of Time Machine where you can pick any year you want and it takes you to that version of the game.
@@quitstalkingmefreaks That would be cool. I personally never played the version FE2 Retro uses, so although a lot of it is similar to what I remember, there are things different/missing.
@@just_ducky You definitely do! I enjoyed every single bit of your video, Very high quality as well. You have a bright future if you keep going! And yea I do sound familiar cause I'm very active within the Community.
@@just_ducky I have played and beaten a few Crazy+ maps solo and honestly loved sub-zerosphere a lot so i hope it gets added as at least a highlight and possibly even an official map
I actually thought it released in June, but the memory is probably fuzzy. I researched all of these dates on the FE2 wiki, so if anything is wrong by chance, blame whoever vandalized/messed up the wiki.
@@just_ducky Actually your information is correct. I just searched up some yt videos about "Fe2 first crazy map" and it showed me Boonmoon (A FE2 yt creator) He always makes videos of new maps after a day of its release. (He made the video on July 17th 2019).
Uhh... (this is a rough guess and NOT researched) 2017 - Did CM even exist back then? 2018/2019 - Hyperspace 2020 - No idea so I'll say the Real/Deadly Challenge (not sure which one is actually harder) 2021 - No idea either so I'll say Startup Failure Hell Version 2022 - No idea either so I'll stick with 2021 2023 - Rigor?
No Its the only Crazy I didn't mention, simply because it wasn't really deemed as a contender for the hardest Crazy at the time of release. Yes, I did also mention DS but at least with DS, it was generally seen as harder than the other four Crazy Maps, but easier than AVM. With SSH, I've seen people say its easier than all the other Crazy Maps, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim its harder than DS.
wow i'm really impressed with this video tbh i would love to see this with fe2cm and as someone who has played the game for a while the difficulty barrier has increased pretty drastically and maybe it would be cool if you did this with tria.os too because the difficulty ceiling there is incredibly higher than fe2 anyway goodbye!
Thanks! I don't really know FE2CM nearly as well (at least in the context of this video anyway). And I've never really played TRIA (or any FE2 fangame for that matter), so I won't be doing that. If you want to though, you can suggest this idea to another TH-camr who perhaps has the knowledge to make a video on CM or a fangame.
Why did highlights just stop getting added to the main game? End of the Line and Chaoz Japan both would definitely get in, and they're both pretty hard. Also Lighthouse, which has been in the game for a day, although it's not as hard as those two.
You remember when CrazyBlox added 2017 fe2? Well just recently i have been seeing videos abou OG fortnite so I guess they got their idea by playing fe2...🤷♂️
I don't know much about Fortnite but I'm fairly certain the OG map returned in November. FE2 Retro was added in April and FEC has had a Retro Mode for years.
If the insane's were in a GC (start of game to present I think) Abandoned Facility: So... Why are we here Crazyblox: Yes Abandoned Facility: Oh, uhm maybe we should decide who is hardest Sinking Ship: That's obviously me... Gloomy Manor: My difficulty various on how many players are playing Familiar Ruins: Well I have LORE Abandoned Facility: We know... Because I was the first Gloomy Manor: Who said- *Crazyblox has added Dark-Sci Facility to the chat* Familiar Ruins: Who are you Dark-Sci Facility: I am here to be the new hardest not Sinking Ship Sinking Ship: Wait WHAT? Dark-Sci Facility: Yeah the players are going insane over me, no pun intended Sinking Ship: Well what makes you so special? Dark-Sci Facility I have a room players have to climb and the lava doesn't even stop Abandoned Facility: O_O Dark-Sci Forest: Woah woah woah MY BROTHE- Sinking Ship: Woah hey a lot of energy and your a hard level so go back with the other hard's Dark-Sci Forest: K :/ Dark-Sci Facility: And that's not even it, I have THE JUMP... Gloomy Manor: What is "The jump?" Dark-Sci Facility: It messes up like 90% of the players Familiar Ruins: Oh! *Crazyblox has added Beneath the Ruins to the chat* Familiar Ruins: Wait, did that just say- Beneath the Ruins: Hello *To be Continued I'm lazy lol*
There were people who beat it within 2 hours of it launching. I'm no where near the best of the best on that front, and many people have still yet to complete it.
Yes, but it was changed a few months ago to patch a glitch called Slide Glide. You cannot Air Dive if you are too close to a wall. Edit: Thanks by the way :)
Bm's revamp wanst much, it just brought back the lava texture and minor buffs and every wall and floor and like every facility related part has a + texture applied
Nah, I'm not the right person for that. I don't know a lot about the evolution of FE2CM maps difficulty-wise, and certainly not TRIA. You can always ask a different TH-camr and maybe they'll heed your suggestion. (I don't have an issue with it)
Good video :) I've been in the game for more than a month and I almost passed 2 crazy with help obviously, I think I've improved but now I find out about the Crazy+ difficulty and I can't handle the other crazy lol. But I still don't understand the map community and I don't know how to enter or how to see those maps or whatever, could someone tell me how?
To access community maps, find the game called FE2 Community Maps (its in FE2's description on the Roblox website). Now you'll need to find a Map ID to load said map. Use the FE2 Wiki or the FE2 Discord Server to search for maps and then copy the map's ID (should be 6 or 7 letters long, a mix of letters, numbers and other characters). Then boot up FE2CM and load the map ID. To hear custom music in the map, load up a website called fe2.io on your browser, and input your Roblox username (NOT DISPLAY NAME). Make sure "FE2IO enabled" is turned on in the ingame settings. If you need any more help, just reply letting me know.
I'm not the right person to ask, I don't really know what maps would be considered the hardest throughout FE2CM's history. Feel free to ask another creator, I'm happy for them to use this idea and apply it to CM.
@@kingkongcreeper Yeah. Also I think its fair that I at the very least credit the creators appropriately. I've also started to mention the music as it appears in my videos.
@@just_ducky It’s a bunch of little stuff. For example, the date timeline is poorly represented. The placement and arrangement makes it seem insignificant, almost like footer text. Also, improper nouns like lava and air are capitalized. The script is also written as if you’re speaking with your voice, which isn’t actually happening. That one part where you mentioned your editing mistake felt really awkward, too. I have more criticisms, but it’s just little stuff like this.
@@Astrojox_ I see. (big wall of text incoming) Yeah, I could've definitely done a better job with the date timeline. Now that I think about it, simply having each date fade into each other rather than "snap" would have been better, as it would have been easier to notice when the date is changing. I don't have the editing skills for a fully refined timeline like you would see in more "professional" content. I could definitely learn how to do that, but I also doubt I'll ever need to do it again. Your second criticism is just a habit of mine. I sporadically capitalise words like that just because they are a proper term in FE2. Capitalising something like "air" would be pointless in almost any other context, but because FE2 has a metre used for swimming, it makes sense in my brain. I do understand it is improper grammar, but habits are hard to break. I will try though. I will say though, I don't agree with the claim that it sounds like I'm speaking while using text, but that's just me. Looking back, I can see why the editing mistake felt awkward. Usually I'm pretty good at not falling into the classic trap of copying and pasting a text box and then not changing the text, but I sometimes do. If I do, I always try to actually "recycle" the text box into something purposeful so that its pretty seamless, but I couldn't in this specific scenario. Also, sorry for a massive essay responding to this, this is the first time a video of mine has been properly criticised in a constructive manner, so I just wanted to respond to it the best I can. I'm still happy with the video, but I can agree it isn't my best work. Thanks for all the feedback though :)

@@HyperNova808 Good luck!
@@just_ducky thank you! 😊
blue moon became harder after the revamp, at least that's what i believe the public consensus is
Alright.
@@just_ducky Although I didn’t play much in that time period, I feel like BM got a bit harder right after the sliding changes. But because I still have a video of me beating BM solo on the old version, I’ve compared the two and it seems like the old version was maybe a bit harder. Of course this may be biased because OG BM was my favorite map to come to the game ever. Other than Beanos.
@@cole0524 Alright. Although there are other things to consider, such as your skill improving between the two versions (especially if you're using footage of BM closer to its initial release).
Early 2021: Escapee missions and Lost pages
Mid 2021: Group buttons event [removed Mid 2024]
Late 2022: Fog, Mirror, and Exploding Buttons [now Chaotic Buttons]
Early 2023: Exploding [Chaotic] buttons buff
Late 2024: Freaky Mode, Speed Up, Slow Down, and Tectonic Shift (ALL IN ONE WEEK)
Lol.
i love how u put terraira ost 😮👍
Yay :)
i never realized blue moon was released all the way back in 2019, like i swear at that time i only saw insane difficulty
Time really goes fast huh
Yeah. I remember the old days with just Blue Moon as the only Crazy Map.
@@just_duckyI kinda miss that time period when it was blue moon and just poisonous chasm actually. Instead of retro mode they should add some sort of Time Machine where you can pick any year you want and it takes you to that version of the game.
@@quitstalkingmefreaks That would be cool. I personally never played the version FE2 Retro uses, so although a lot of it is similar to what I remember, there are things different/missing.
@@just_ducky Yeah that's true. Retro mode takes place in 2018. Personally, I think it should be 2019 instead
@@quitstalkingmefreaks Eh I can understand why, I also believe FEC's Retro mode does the same thing.
You deserve more attention
Maybe I do? Maybe I don't?
Also, your name sounds familiar.
@@just_ducky You definitely do! I enjoyed every single bit of your video, Very high quality as well. You have a bright future if you keep going! And yea I do sound familiar cause I'm very active within the Community.
@@Tateen_ Yeah, I've most likely seen you ingame then.
Wait crazy+ highlight confirmed?
And uhh i hope crazy adds rigor for the next april fools
Would unironically be fun
Fairly certain its been confirmed.
Also rigor jumpscare.
@@just_ducky I have played and beaten a few Crazy+ maps solo and honestly loved sub-zerosphere a lot so i hope it gets added as at least a highlight and possibly even an official map
@@avisashadow7646 Yeah, I want to see SZS and DR into the game as permanents at some point. Not now though, RJ was enough of a pain to beat.
@@just_ducky I agree, RJ is very annoying because of the inconsistent long jumps and fast pacing COMBINED
When rustic jungle support happens, itll be a hell of a time (i beat regular rustic 6 times in 220 attempts, hopefully it does come out)
What do you mean by when? Has it been confirmed?
support? do you mean when it gets added to cm?
Oh I meant mirror support
@@Mintyiix Oh. I answered it as if it was CM support (it will most likely get mirror support eventually)
I just realised I appeared in the video lol 21:14, no wonder your name sounds familiar
I think I remember you.
Come to think of the first crazy map, I never knew that blue moon released on my birthday 16th july
I actually thought it released in June, but the memory is probably fuzzy. I researched all of these dates on the FE2 wiki, so if anything is wrong by chance, blame whoever vandalized/messed up the wiki.
@@just_ducky Actually your information is correct. I just searched up some yt videos about "Fe2 first crazy map" and it showed me Boonmoon (A FE2 yt creator) He always makes videos of new maps after a day of its release. (He made the video on July 17th 2019).
Now make one about the difficulty progression in CM
it's always been crazy+ what is there even to talk abt 😭😭
Uhh... (this is a rough guess and NOT researched)
2017 - Did CM even exist back then?
2018/2019 - Hyperspace
2020 - No idea so I'll say the Real/Deadly Challenge (not sure which one is actually harder)
2021 - No idea either so I'll say Startup Failure Hell Version
2022 - No idea either so I'll stick with 2021
2023 - Rigor?
It could probably work as a video but I don't have the knowledge of FE2CM to make a video like that.
@@just_duckyjust checked and yes cm did exist in 2017 (sort of)
you can check by typing: FE2 map test before:2018
in the youtube search bar
@@intoxence Nice.
What about the "new difficulty extreme" I think yatagarsu ( I think that's the name) was above 7.0
That difficulty is CM exclusive.
@@just_ducky I know , oh right you didn't meant fe2cm
Extremely good video but did you forget about snowy stronghold? Can't find it anywhere
No Its the only Crazy I didn't mention, simply because it wasn't really deemed as a contender for the hardest Crazy at the time of release. Yes, I did also mention DS but at least with DS, it was generally seen as harder than the other four Crazy Maps, but easier than AVM. With SSH, I've seen people say its easier than all the other Crazy Maps, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim its harder than DS.
wow i'm really impressed with this video tbh i would love to see this with fe2cm and as someone who has played the game for a while the difficulty barrier has increased pretty drastically and maybe it would be cool if you did this with tria.os too because the difficulty ceiling there is incredibly higher than fe2 anyway goodbye!
Thanks!
I don't really know FE2CM nearly as well (at least in the context of this video anyway). And I've never really played TRIA (or any FE2 fangame for that matter), so I won't be doing that. If you want to though, you can suggest this idea to another TH-camr who perhaps has the knowledge to make a video on CM or a fangame.
blue moon was actually added july 18th
My source for a lot of this info was the FE2 wiki so some of it might be a little inaccurate. Shouldn't be a massive problem though.
Why did highlights just stop getting added to the main game? End of the Line and Chaoz Japan both would definitely get in, and they're both pretty hard. Also Lighthouse, which has been in the game for a day, although it's not as hard as those two.
No idea. But I have a feeling Lighthouse is staying.
i miss 2017-2019 FE2😢
I do in some ways.
You remember when CrazyBlox added 2017 fe2?
Well just recently i have been seeing videos abou OG fortnite so I guess they got their idea by playing fe2...🤷♂️
I don't know much about Fortnite but I'm fairly certain the OG map returned in November. FE2 Retro was added in April and FEC has had a Retro Mode for years.
If the insane's were in a GC (start of game to present I think)
Abandoned Facility: So... Why are we here
Crazyblox: Yes
Abandoned Facility: Oh, uhm maybe we should decide who is hardest
Sinking Ship: That's obviously me...
Gloomy Manor: My difficulty various on how many players are playing
Familiar Ruins: Well I have LORE
Abandoned Facility: We know... Because I was the first
Gloomy Manor: Who said-
*Crazyblox has added Dark-Sci Facility to the chat*
Familiar Ruins: Who are you
Dark-Sci Facility: I am here to be the new hardest not Sinking Ship
Sinking Ship: Wait WHAT?
Dark-Sci Facility: Yeah the players are going insane over me, no pun intended
Sinking Ship: Well what makes you so special?
Dark-Sci Facility I have a room players have to climb and the lava doesn't even stop
Abandoned Facility: O_O
Dark-Sci Forest: Woah woah woah MY BROTHE-
Sinking Ship: Woah hey a lot of energy and your a hard level so go back with the other hard's
Dark-Sci Forest: K :/
Dark-Sci Facility: And that's not even it, I have THE JUMP...
Gloomy Manor: What is "The jump?"
Dark-Sci Facility: It messes up like 90% of the players
Familiar Ruins: Oh!
*Crazyblox has added Beneath the Ruins to the chat*
Familiar Ruins: Wait, did that just say-
Beneath the Ruins: Hello
*To be Continued I'm lazy lol*
Soon we will have Extreme
What?
@@just_ducky It's a joke, but 6.9 is referred to as "Extreme" by the community
I remember back in the day when Dsf was considered the hardest map and it was insane (no pun intended 😏)
And when BM was added it was revolutionary
Yes.
(Also, I had to avoid puns in editing quite a lot lol)
@@just_duckysometimes it's hard to avoid them 😂
@@ImnotZaz3n yes!
Don’t tell me it took 12+ hours to beat rj I’m going on week 2(over 24 hours) and got to the sewage pipe thingy only once
There were people who beat it within 2 hours of it launching. I'm no where near the best of the best on that front, and many people have still yet to complete it.
Great Video! Btw Is Air diving still in the game?
Yes, but it was changed a few months ago to patch a glitch called Slide Glide. You cannot Air Dive if you are too close to a wall.
Edit: Thanks by the way :)
@@just_ducky Alright, thanks for letting me know!👍
castle tides is still harder than all of these
Hardest maps per difficulty:
Hardest easy soloed: castel teides
Hardest normal soloed: forgarden toombs
Hardest hard soloed: boisonoos foraast
Hardest insane soloed beneeth da rueenz
Hardest crazy soloed: arktive voolcanik mayns
Hardest crazy+ soloed: rusty jiungol
Overall Hardest Map Soloed: CASTEL TEIDES!!!!!!
Sometimes the Group Buttons event can make all the buttons normal. Why???
Its in the name - its random. Each button has a 50% chance of being normal/grouped.
@@just_ducky it’s too common though
@@cat-lv4gj I very rarely see that.
Bm's revamp wanst much, it just brought back the lava texture and minor buffs and every wall and floor and like every facility related part has a + texture applied
Fair enough. When I revisited the game in August 2021, the map didn't look too much different to the version I was used to.
You can do one but combining fe2cm and tria please?
Nah, I'm not the right person for that. I don't know a lot about the evolution of FE2CM maps difficulty-wise, and certainly not TRIA. You can always ask a different TH-camr and maybe they'll heed your suggestion. (I don't have an issue with it)
Good video :) I've been in the game for more than a month and I almost passed 2 crazy with help obviously, I think I've improved but now I find out about the Crazy+ difficulty and I can't handle the other crazy lol. But I still don't understand the map community and I don't know how to enter or how to see those maps or whatever, could someone tell me how?
To access community maps, find the game called FE2 Community Maps (its in FE2's description on the Roblox website).
Now you'll need to find a Map ID to load said map. Use the FE2 Wiki or the FE2 Discord Server to search for maps and then copy the map's ID (should be 6 or 7 letters long, a mix of letters, numbers and other characters). Then boot up FE2CM and load the map ID.
To hear custom music in the map, load up a website called fe2.io on your browser, and input your Roblox username (NOT DISPLAY NAME). Make sure "FE2IO enabled" is turned on in the ingame settings.
If you need any more help, just reply letting me know.
@@just_ducky Thank you :)
@@-kwaqyz-8422 You're welcome!
in 2021 bm got buffed and pc got nerfed
Fair enough.
Guys, I can get further in SSR and SSH than PC 😳
what about a fe2cm version?
I'm not the right person to ask, I don't really know what maps would be considered the hardest throughout FE2CM's history.
Feel free to ask another creator, I'm happy for them to use this idea and apply it to CM.
@@just_ducky k man, np
Unpopular opinion, but sedimentary temple is harder than lost desert imo.
I don't know if I agree, but I don't know if I disagree either. I've given that question a hard thought for literally years and I still don't know.
Lost woods is the hardest map no doubt about It.
Yes.
Sinking ship is the hardest imsane
CHANGE MY MIND
(im saying it in the perspective of someone that plays multiplayer)
Real. That first button is annoying sometimes.

The writing and editing really bothers me
How so?
@@just_ducky It’s a bunch of little stuff. For example, the date timeline is poorly represented. The placement and arrangement makes it seem insignificant, almost like footer text. Also, improper nouns like lava and air are capitalized. The script is also written as if you’re speaking with your voice, which isn’t actually happening. That one part where you mentioned your editing mistake felt really awkward, too. I have more criticisms, but it’s just little stuff like this.
@@Astrojox_ I see. (big wall of text incoming)
Yeah, I could've definitely done a better job with the date timeline. Now that I think about it, simply having each date fade into each other rather than "snap" would have been better, as it would have been easier to notice when the date is changing. I don't have the editing skills for a fully refined timeline like you would see in more "professional" content. I could definitely learn how to do that, but I also doubt I'll ever need to do it again.
Your second criticism is just a habit of mine. I sporadically capitalise words like that just because they are a proper term in FE2. Capitalising something like "air" would be pointless in almost any other context, but because FE2 has a metre used for swimming, it makes sense in my brain. I do understand it is improper grammar, but habits are hard to break. I will try though. I will say though, I don't agree with the claim that it sounds like I'm speaking while using text, but that's just me.
Looking back, I can see why the editing mistake felt awkward. Usually I'm pretty good at not falling into the classic trap of copying and pasting a text box and then not changing the text, but I sometimes do. If I do, I always try to actually "recycle" the text box into something purposeful so that its pretty seamless, but I couldn't in this specific scenario.
Also, sorry for a massive essay responding to this, this is the first time a video of mine has been properly criticised in a constructive manner, so I just wanted to respond to it the best I can. I'm still happy with the video, but I can agree it isn't my best work. Thanks for all the feedback though :)
