Welcome to Team Fortress 2.
cp_abordight_heights is finished! well.. almost
For those of you that don't know, this map is a gravelpit style map. There are still a few touch ups I have to do and I have to do a personal map test and compete some clipping. Here some pics to give you a rough run of the map style of each point, hopefully I'll be ready to test as soon as tomorrow.

What is Team Fortress 2? It is a team-based, first-person shooter that offers nine distinct classes to play as. TF2 requires players to work together to achieve objectives such as point control or objective theft. Work together, or fail.
Unlike many shooters, TF2 streamlines the process, making it very easy for new players to learn the ropes yet remain compelling to the hardened veterans. The game also features a very stylized look that sets it apart from the competition. If the movies The Incredibles and Austin Powers had a violently awesome lovechild, it'd be Team Fortress 2.
The official Team Fortress 2 blog can be found here.
How to obtain Team Fortress 2
SANDVICH fortress 2 has two purchasing options. First is the Orange Box package for $39.99. That includes new puzzle game Portal and the what's been released of the Half-Life 2 Saga so far (if you already have HL2 and Episode 1, you can give them away! Use this thread for that). If you are just itching for Team Fortress 2, the game is available alone for $19.99. Both can be found on Steam or in retail stores.
And get the PC version. Seriously, you are going to be LONELY otherwise.
Penny Arcade Servers
If you wish to join us for gaming ons, join the PA Steam group! Ask for an invite in this thread. In addition to the main PA group, if you're interested in trying out fun new custom maps, ask for an invite to the PA Honk group. You don’t need an invite to either group to play with us, but it can make organization easier.
All of the PA servers listed here try to be relaxed and we're not going to harass you for sucking (well, maybe a little). You might hear about “scrims†in this thread, which is where our PA folk play in competitive games. If you are interested in that sort of thing, just speak up and one of our competitive players will help you out. The following servers, however, are for casual play.
Just remember, don't be a dick! And have fun shooting mans.

Look on the Bright Side: If your "round" is a personal best (most damage inflicted, kills made, time alive), the game will let you know when you die.
Capture the Moment: Kodak invites you take a screenshot of your murderer.
Taunts: You can do several short animations. They depend on your class and current weapon. You temporarily enter a third-person view when this is done, and you can’t cancel it. Some taunts can even kill players if you catch them unawares.
Critical Hits: Some shots do more damage. These shots, when fired, will glow, make a crackling noise and a satisfying “CRITICAL HIT†will pop above your target (if they land). If you are racking up kills, your crit rate will temporarily increase to around 20% or so.
Some Critical Hits are conditional. For example, the Pyro’s Backburner always gets a crit when attacking from behind.
OH BOY! PATCH TIME!
Valve is so nice. We are getting free “Class Packs†that feature achievements and unlockable weapons for a class (among other goodies). Three have been released so far:
Medic
Pyro
Heavy

All I need to do now is refrain from saying [strike]Candle Jack[/strike] Cardboard Tube's na
Also, bludot.
i don't understand why the titles have to be surrounded by brackets, though
give me a chance, fuck
And why should we care? This is the TF2 thread, not the MMO sub-forum.
If I were to create a TF2 OP it'd be very simple. It would say "Team Fortress 2: shoot some mans, cap some points" and nothing else.
Squeak.
shut up peewi
I want something easy to make a compilation of my hadouken kills.
If anyone still wants a 3-day pass, PM me with your steam info.

So for the next 10 minutes, EVERYONE on the map ran around outside of it and in the water.
Things of note that we seemed to like:
- The diorama in blue's spawn point
- The scenic view behind you upon spawning in red
- The ability to go under the map, build a sentry and indefinitely hold a point
- The interactivity of the map (break shit!)
The map has something of a gravel pit feel and I like it though. It's got the similar two-prong attacks on the cap points and elevated defense points. But that's really not saying too much, I mean, Well also has two points of attack on any one point on their map. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I feel like it's an homage of sorts to Gravel Pit and I love it! There's a couple of random things that could probably just use a bit of polish, like getting under the map. Or that one point when exiting red spawn on the right if you drop down there's a mini corridor under the walkway that you can't actually enter because of an invisible wall or whatever.
Overall, Hey You has done some fantastic work on this!! If you haven't already, go try it out. It is/was on 208.167.232.82:27015 .
EDIT:
I'm still waiting for that map to hit a button and kill everyone outside of the safe room. I think it was rock2?

Second, it looks like an interesting map.
Great map, Hey You! Hopefully after the minor fixes you can get one of the PA servers to host it
I did however have time to get trapped underground by a bunch of evil, evil people...
a board right?
rock2 was the one with the poison gas when you capped the flag
You just reminded me of another one though, where you'd press the button inside the bunker and the shields would come down and bomb everyone outside. Not sure if it was an official map or not though
