TF2map.net's Payload Race & A/D CTF Contest



What happens when you give some TF2 mappers six months to make a map? What happens if that map is payload race or a resurrected Team Fortress Classic game mode, Attack/Defend CTF? TF2maps.net decided to find out. Take 'em for a spin and place your votes!

ETF2 Turns Two

The European Team Fortress 2 League turned two recently. In their own words:

* "Whether it's a public server, a group of friends forming a clan, or a team of volunteers trying to build a place for people to play, online gaming and e-sports enterprises are notoriously fragile and short-lived. So, it's with a great degree of humility that ... we say we're very proud to see our organisation progress from strength to strength to become the biggest TF2 league in the world."

Congratulations on the anniversary, guys!


This Mailbox Just Got Dominated by Saxton Hale



Those of you who sent in money along with a coupon cut from Gentleman Scoundrel Magazine from our Sniper vs. Spy update recently received a handsome collection of postcards from Valve's other resident Australian strongman, Saxton Hale.

The money you sent has been donated to gamer charity Child's Play. Our legal department wants us to remind you that, in the future, please do not send us money (no matter what it says in the fake fictional advertisement). A friendly letter is enough to get potential free stuff sent your way.

Saxton Hale postcards are a comedy gold pot at the end of the TF2 rainbow - brilliant.

 

[Lord Ned]

I sent them in a form and never got anything back.

 

[Ravidge]

This is what I'm talking about! Free exposure

I should thank valve for caring so much about the mapping and custom content communities, just making it known to the masses of players is just great,

prepare for a servercrash

 

[zpqrei]

We've had TF2 blog posts before. We brace for crashes, but they never come. Nothing like a bit of traffic to the servers, though, eh?

More than that. Wiseguy and I cannot belive it. This made my day, no, the whole week. Now, to work in the rc2 version.

Valve is really cool with tf2maps.net. With that announcement, the server will always have people to test the contest maps

 

[lana]

Hurray! We're popular for a week!

EDIT:

I e-mailed robin about the typo

 

[MrAlBobo]

1) 509 error


2)
It was fixed quickly
