What are you favorite map types?

[LegendarySurgeon]

I changed the poll slightly to include KotH and TC. Since I'm limited to 10 options I smashed PLR into one category; old results:

I miss arenabox.

Where the fuck is Territorial Control?

[GoDM1N]

Only type I dont like is CTF and 5cp maps. Generally speaking I feel they're just boring on pub servers.

Where the fuck is Territorial Control?

haha, oh yeahhh, I forgot about Hydro. The one TC map

Edit:// Oh yeah, I also forgot about KotH which is a map mode I actually like

[Nikki Wolf]

THE PAYLOAD HAS ALMOST REACHED THE FINAL TERMINUS!

Yes, PL is a fave of mine. So is 5-point CP. (default-wise)

[Rustic Apple]

I love PL simply 'cause I can troll pretty hard with the Fists of Steel, a good medic, and team mates that can stave off the inevitable torrent of melee toting enemies.

[KillerProtist]

If Payload beats 5cp in votes, then I am disappoint.

I heard a rumor that Valve is considering working on another TC map. I think this is a great idea. Only reason hydro fails is it has too many opportunities for quickcaps. Add some doors for setup or something and it ought to work out nicer.

Are there any good custom TC maps?

tc_meridian is kind of interesting: it's territorial control but capture the flag based. I haven't played it but it's the most polished looking custom tc map on tf2maps.net. We could put it on funbox to playtest it maybe. Some artistic screenshots here, they don't really show gameplay but the map looks shiny.

[BoB Dolen]

on the note TC customs I got a few that I think are good, let me just dig out some screenshots+links

edit: Also just download and going to run through rock2 and mirrored maps.

Yes! Let us know how rock2 is. It gives me warm fuzzy nostalgic feelings.

[Vivi Hill]

Meridian really takes the TF2 style in a completely new direction. Really nice.

It is pretty much a complete conversion to TF2 and I love it.....but I need to see how it plays with a large group of people.

ZF, TFDB, PH, and CSn. Sadly none of these map types are in your vote! For shame...

ZF: Zombie Fortress
TFDB: Pyro Dodgeball
PH: Prop Hunt
CSn: Critsandvich Network Custom Maps that are made specifically for fun server. 0 so far!

[Jack Salad]

I must say I'm rather partial to Attack/Defend maps like dustbowl. To me there is something satisfying about übering a Demoman and clearing the last point or being an übered Heavy and clearing out the attacking side's teleporter site.
Also, can someone explain to me why everyone hates fastlane, but loves upward? Maybe I'm just stupid or a hipster, I just don't know.

My original poll had an option, "I don't know what these map modes are, I only play on funbox" But no one voted for it and Bob Dolen reminded me that TC and KotH are actual map modes.

[Argent]

Man, TC's more vintage than PLR

[Baardje]

Really like the payload maps, but good cp maps like Gravelpit are also always welcome!

[SpoonFox]

We need more TCs... But map makers frown at them because of the size of the maps and amount of work put into them. Average time for a map for me to make...

CTF: 1 Week
KOTH: 6 Days
5CP: 1 Week
3CP Attack/Defend: 10 Days
Arena: 6-10 Days
PL: 14 Days
PLR: 15 Days
TC: ... Well... The one I worked on a long time ago... I put 2 Months into it and it wasn't half finished, I lost total interest in frustration.

5 cp are the most fun with even teams, but payload is more accessible and can still be fun in pubs even without even teams.
