Hey fellow Team Fortress friends, its ya boy Nick here to release something big. Over the past month and a couple days, I have been working tirelessly to art pass Havana and make my dream of a TF2 map set in Cuba a reality. Thanks to Muddy for making an amazing layout for me to work with, and helping me every now and then with the art pass, we are very proud of present Havana Beta 1 to all of you.

Even though the map has been out for about 3 months now, and I've been working on art passing it for over a month, I've never actually played the map myself. Hopefully I get a chance to do that at some point. This is my first artpass of a real, playable map so it is very important to me and I hope you all really enjoy it!
