Congratulations, you three!

 

[ANova]

Wtf

 

[Prestige]

DoD:S, TF2, HL2M



also yay blog update for these fine maps

 

[PMAvers]

Hells-to-the-yes!

Any of our three mappers want to talk about them? Are they new versions?

 

[Gerbil]

Out of nowhere :O

Congrats you three!
Especially Psy, since I think this is his first community map

 

[Harribo]

Well that came out of nowhere.

 

[Leminnes]

Well that came out of nowhere.

Yeah, especially Lakeside. o-O

 

[EArkham]

Huzzah! Congrats, awesome to see new maps added.

[Peligrino]

Wow, awesome, congratulations guys!

-On a side note, the map update seems pretty useless, I've been playing plr_nightfall and pl_frontier for so long now, that going official really doesn't have any effect on me.

Otherwise, good job!

It'll be weird playing Frontier without Li'l Chew-Chew.

... It does have a different cart model now, right? The changelog mentions a "new train", but I haven't been able to see it yet. First Steam needed updated, then it wouldn't connect, and then it crashed... and now, I wait for the large download.

^Can see the train there.

Edit: Dammit crash. :|

 

[The Political Gamer]

Its still Chew Chew.

The TF2Maps.net featured maps is officially a who's who of what maps are going official.

 

[Codename22]

Congrats guys! :thumbup:

 

[Harribo]

3Dnj has now had 2 maps made official and Matt's 'Mapper's Medalion' from the front page/Artpass contest still isn't in the game. Just saying

 

[Jimmy Nicholls]

I haven't played any of these, but I'll give them a go as soon as I can . Got to say that the fact this is one guy's first map gives me hope. It'd be great to make something that gets made into an official community map, but it'll probably be a long time before I release anything that deserves the accolade.

Edit: And fail, seems the official site is down for me

Dammit guys... well, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. It's consistent with the "Demopan" direction the game's been going lately anyway.
