First bug found! Somehow, this update broke the ability to access my loadout in a "local game" (i.e. accessed by clicking "Create Server"). It says my server has "lost connection to Steam." Anyone else getting this? I had a skin I was working on, and now I can't test it... My guess is that they did this to stop people from getting achievements, "longest life" stats, and item drops without playing on a public server, but losing the loadout is kind of a nasty side effect.

EDIT: Huh. Fixed now. Disregard, I guess.

Have you tried doing it on the item_test map?

Oh neat it's just kinda odd though, Frontier is pretty old. It's a great map but this is just so out of the blue. Lakeside was surprising, not that it's bad or anything, still awesome. Nightfall wasn't surprising I guess.. last I played it the last stage was still alpha and that was mooooooonths ago.

Overall, awesome. Congratulations.

Frontier has ammo clipping into a displacement in the little nook outside of BLU spawn, on the left side coming from said blu spawn.

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.

What? I think Lil Chew Chew fits in perfectly with the TF2 theme - I don't see any crazy sunglasses and pirate hats adorning it

Also major props to Psy and Mangy! Grats to 3dnj too, was only a few weeks ago I was playing a beta of Lakeside, lol

Frontier is amazing. I understand it's been around for awhile for most people in the know about custom maps, but for the rest of the community it's a bit of a discovery. I already prefer to Badwater, and since it's new its more interesting than Dustbowl or Goldrush. I wonder how I'll rate it after a few weeks.

Frontier still has the most crippling problem: the cart is so large that there are times when it will clog a corridor.

I've never played any of these but, Contgrats! It is always good to see custom maps come into the regular rotation so that people will move out of their official-map-comfort-zone and look at new and interesting custom maps (preferable not orange).
