You will be seeing that upside down hay trick in rust... it's quite good.
I actually first used that haybale trick on my artpass contest entry
That's probably the nicest looking spot on the entire map though. Holy crap did I improve on my detailing since then.
Also something else I took from my artpass map and put into this:

Unfortunate fact being, there is no reason for hay to exist anywhere on stoney ridge.

Sorry but, "valve does things that look ugly too", does not make it look any better.
I vote ugly, at least in that thunder mountain shot.
But to be fair, I hadn't honestly noticed the Thundermountain shot until last night, it's not the most noticeable thing. People rarely look up.
This is how it looks in Stoneyridge:
Personally I think it's just a rarely used texture that adds a lot of depth and complexity to an area without having to rely on a ton of brushwork.
Although I did just notice I need to randomize the textures on those ceiling beams...

Guy guys...
It's so you don't hit your head into the ceiling so hard when you rocket/sticky jump. You can't say we don't care about our demomen and soldiers enough
I think it was first in well, in the rocket room. Way way up, far away in the ceiling. I always thought it looked very pixelated, but that's probably because the texture was meant to be viewed from far away.

Pretty sure it's less noticeable in thunder mountain because it's higher up, in a smaller room. I presume it's soundproofing. (That's the only reason I can think of to cover the inside of a rocket room in padding, unless you're using it as a nuthouse on weekends.) Anyway, soundproofing makes barely any sense in thunder mountain, and none here. Swap it for ceiling tiles or something.
Also those crossbeams are big and ugly and plain.

(I thikn he's telling you to not use overlays for the caution tape?)
... if so, I never thought of that, and should probably adjust properly for rust later on.

The snippy side of me wants to say that maybe people shouldn't try to make their game look like it was made in 1998.
Fixing the tape is easy and I'm sure we'll do it, but playing TF2 with overlays disabled completely? Really? What about all the directional markers we set up for finding point A or B? Do those not show up too, and what's the solution for that?

Yeah, I'm kind of skeptical that disabling overlays is worth it. There are FPS configs and then there's just overkill. In particular I noticed that the FPS in all three of those screenshots was identical — presumably the absolute maximum the computer can handle on any configuration.
Also, I never realized that none of the official maps used overlays to mark the capture zones. What exactly are those scraggly-ends-of-the-caution tape overlays there for, anyway?
