Ridiculously pretty 5CP map from Phisheep (of Edifice fame):

Gonna have to drag some people in to pug this sometime, looks like fun.

 

[Bluth54]

I'm alwaysdown for trying new maps. Visually it does look very nice based on those screenshots, hopefully it's a fun map to play on too.

 

[CountAntonius]

I wonder why TF2 never received a map workshop.

Nice but why do they have anti-aliasing and low-resolution textures in their screenshots?

And what does the term pug come from? Does it mean playing games on public servers?

Let me know if you're not playing UGC some time (i.e. never) and want to try it!

This phisheep?

 

[ExMachina]

Awesome! I'm not sure about the logistics exactly yet, but I'll let y'all know if I find a place and time to play the map. :3 Maybe we can get Space to upload Sunshine to CapThatPoint...?

This phisheep?

Oh oops! No, they're different dudes. I accidentally conflated the two because the mapper goes by Phi and always has animals in his name/maps (but in his case, deer rather than sheep). Would've been cool if GAF's own law-expert was into mapping though.

PUG = pick-up game, getting a group of random players to do 6v6 or HL.

And yeah, UGC be eatin' up all my TF2 time. Some people on my team are really gunning for a placement medal, heh.

 

[DJ Crimson]

Come and TF2 with me again, so we can throw things.

Spoiler

And we can uber each other so we can battle medic together!

Perhaps. Maybe. Possibly. Conceivably.

Spoiler

Absolutely; tonight I'll jump on TF2.

I feel like we played this map before on the Jank ages ago. I remember liking it. But it's 5cp so I dunno. Maybe it was the Koth version of this map?
Anyways I look forward to it, drag me along if you want!

 

[Bluth54]

Minimal effort since CS:GO has a map workshop.
Still the TF2 team is only like 6 people, maybe copy and pasting code from the CS:GO team is too much work.

Played this map in its alpha testing with the creator and some cool people. It played the best out of the "new maps" that we were testing and had some nice flow to it. All of the points are individually fun to play on and offer something for all the comp classes but the transitions between points(especially going from 2nd to last) felt strange. Soldiers who can jump are overpowered on it.

It's also has an absurd amount of vertical height just for background detail.

Here's our team's entry: Crackpot

It took 18 people 2 weeks and 6 days to finish. My active role specifically was director/project lead.

We made custom TF2 babies, Pyroland map/props, particle effects, and music just for the video. We'll soon release the baby models and Pyroland map/props for the community to play with.

Damn yo. Quality. Looks like a deleted scene from Meet the Pyro (albeit a Halloween-ish Meet the Pyro)

Thanks so much! It was fun to expand upon the Pyro and revist Pyroland.

You can use Steam Achievement Manager to get the achievements that give you the hats... No need to install them at all.

"It was the best of times. It was the best of times."

So opens Charles Dickens' feel-good surf classic Super Good Times, and Dickens' words are as true today as they were at the beach cabana where he wrote them: The best of times, you guys. Let's have some.

For some reason I thought Snakewater was already in the game.

 

[dhonk]

It is happening... again. /twinpeaks But yo, votes are da best for this stuff. Thanks guys!

On a non shill note: Really surprised a new update is coming pre-Christmas, happy about it too!

 

[jgminto]

fuuuuuuck, gold weapons?

 

[SteveWinwood]

its not gold

 

[CountAntonius]

Love the sound of this. Weapon effects fffuuu.

 

[little miss gogo]

as long as i don't have to open crates for them i am HAPPY

 

[opticalmace]

So you have to do MvM for stuff? Eh, not my cup of tea.

[Bluth54]

A major update coming between Halloween and Christmas? What a nice surprise.

The weapon effects sound nice. I look forward to trying out the new MVM map and am really happy to see Snakewater finally made an official map. Hopefully we'll get more great stuff tomorrow.

 

[Sianos]

Wow, what a nice surprise! Snakewater finally an official map, with two new tours (with a theme that breaks the mold of desert/alpine/industrial) and some neat weapon effects! What a lovely little update, I look forward to tomorrow.

Just caught this on facebook. Congrats to the guy on Snakewater finally becoming official, even though he'll never see this post.

its not gold

If I still played, I'd be saying this constantly just to piss people off.

The second city is obviously going to be Chicago. Or San Francisco. Or perhaps Seattle. Maybe a place in Philadelphia. But it's going to be obvious.

 

[Bluth54]

Maybe the second city with be an Asian city and they'll use the Kong King assets for it.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Maybe the second city with be an Asian city and they'll use the Kong King assets for it.

Maybe the second city will be in Egypt and everyone will hate it. Cause it's not a very fun map.

 

[Collete]

...But Egypt is fun...Right?..Right?....

 

[Alienups]

Weapon effects, brrrt

 

[ZekeThePlumber]

Strange hats? Unusual weapons? Won't be long now till they start selling us hats to put on our weapons.

 

[Bluth54]

...But Egypt is fun...Right?..Right?....

I remember the first time I played Egypt was a few days before Valve announced they were adding it to the game. I though "this map is awful, I'll never play on it again".

Then Valve announced they were adding it as an official map a few days later. I couldn't believe it. I still believe the only reason they added Egypt was so they could add the Egyptian themed textures and assets to the game. At least Lakeside is a pretty good map.
