Junction, but better
The moment you've all been waiting for is here.
Introducing Junction 2, the next generation of Team Fortress 2 map making.
Improvements:
Please note that this was my 2019 April Fools map, and is in no way to be taken seriously as a legitimate map.
If you have photosensitive epilepsy or get easily motion sick, please avoid playing this map. It contains loud sounds, flashing images, heavy use of screen shake, and movement synchronized to music.
The disco floor textures created by me, and the songs "Watch Your Step," "Disco Descent," and "Konga Conga Kappa" are from the Crypt of the Necrodancer OST by Danny Baranowsky.
