We played this map, dod_Strasbourg, a bit at this past weekend’s FNF SnowDay event:

It’s a Source version of the old dod_Northbound map. Very good, very fun.

Apparently TF2maps.net has a contest, and I’m seeing these shots in this well done video and…my mouth is hanging open and my jaw [...]

And you thought those orange_arena maps were wacked out. Apparently it’s only the beginning:
UPDATE: You may want to mute the audio. These maps always attract mic spammers as this video shows.

I’m pretty sure this is MarioKart - I saw another video of a TF2 Mario map on Ubercharged. The video effect [...]

We’ve been playing this for a while now on FNF. It’s a blast. Personally I like it better than dustbowl. I was going to do a review for it, I have lots of screenshots….but then I got….busy. Or something.

I’m hesitating when I think of doing map reviews. There’s a couple of reasons. First, I made a map - it developed over a couple of years and went through several widely different versions. I know from experience that you cannot judge a map by playing it one time. This ESPECIALLY [...]

Earlier I gave a first impressions review of map CP_Steel_b4. Well, what’s even cooler is that it’s got one of those slick, Valve-style filmstrip how-to vids:

Another map we tried last night was cp_fastlane. I don’t have much to say about it. It was nice looking, carefully made, but not very interesting. It didn’t have anything memorable about it. It needs a setpiece!! However, I did like this CP (Grim again in the pic):

Sorta reminded me [...]

On FNF we like to run the occasional custom map. We steer clear of “orange maps” (come on, mappers. Those textures are for *developing* a map. It wasn’t meant to be a style). However we are up for about anything if it looks good and is fun to play.
CP_Steel_b4 is a GREAT map. I only [...]
