Hello everyone,
I just registered to this site to ask for your advice. We have another small LANparty coming up with a group of friends (10 people in total) and one of the main games we play is TF2. So far we've tried custom maps for a few times, but that was years ago. Since it would be nice to have some variation to the official maps, can you recommend me some good custom maps which would fit our criteria? I already checked some of the maps and generally the quality seemed very high, it's just that there are a ton of maps to consider and I'm not very familiar with the custom mapping scene in TF2.
Our criteria would be:
- payload or KOTH
- small and compact in size (for example Upward is a great payload map, but too large for 5v5 on a LAN; barnblitz is a more suitable map; something of the size of Goldrush Stage 1 would be very nice. For KOTH something like Harvest is perfect)
- visually pleasing and well done, without bugs
- tested and approved by the mapping community
We would choose about 10-15 custom maps. I appreciate your input and thanks in advance!
EDIT: A few clarifying details. We will be playing highlander mode "1". We have a mixture of people who are casual players and people who have some competitive experience in TF2. Custom maps allow to level the playing field among players, so to speak, apart from also providing some refreshing variety.
