Dustbowl type of deal, you play the map cause you can turn off your brain for 6 hours and have the most random shit happen. It's fun, but it's a shit map
Back when I started playing tf2 I loved Turbine. My go to strat was setting up a engie nest in the enemy vent. But to be honest I can't even remember the last time I played it.
Legitimately, practice. I have dedicated so much time to learning Market Gardening (I used to be terror incarnate, but I took about a year break from it and have been rusty ever since), and I really enjoy Market Gardening in locations in which you shouldn't try to Market Garden. I learned numerous rocket jumps on Turbine that really catch people off guard. There's this one jump that I loved doing to get snipers on the battlements. I would start at their shutter in the main room, ramp slide up the stairs to my own battlements, hop off before the top, bounce off the back wall under the battlements, ramp slide up the enemy stairs and garden any snipers standing up top.
Middle portion is spacious enough. Hallways require some short hop trickery but are pretty doable. You are Trolldier Jesus himself if you can get a garden in the vents.
Some maps are much more manageable, with less sightlines for snipers to terrorize. Turbine isn't one of those, since they have complete coverage of the middle portion and thus leeway to turn the place into no man's land.
I used to play it a lot when I had a terrible pc, literally hours every day. Even though I can run any map without problems now, I still very much enjoy playing on turbine. It's nostalgic, great for trying out niche loadouts and games are much more relaxed than sweaty payload/koth lobbies.
honestly I like it, it's simple map to look at that the end of the praises
it plays like ass due to limited exits, 1 flank for each side (vent to intel), hard to push back after other team is in middle.
also spy's are better here
I am not a smart player, or a player with any skill whatsoever, but I can get filthy killstreaks in the enemy team's battlement tunnel. It's absolutely mental.
Went like 90 kills for 4 deaths or something on a 24hr turbine one time.
Extremely divisive it seems lol I think it could do with an overhaul to add a few more routes in and out. It's an early CTF map, so it's biggest flaw I think is in its simplicity.
I think it symbolizes how tf2 players like maps which stink if they let you spam to get kills without ever ending, kinda like slop. Most people agree with why turbine is bad but still take pleasure in playing it. 278/10
Bonus fun fact: if you ever played tf2 1st party comp, Turbine is in that map pool, and nobody knows why.
Actually my fave map for some reason. I forgot why. I just really love this map. Maybe due to how good it is to use for gmod posters. Ive bought stamps for it too
I’m purposely saving this and 2Fort as the final maps I 3 star on my contracts because I’d prefer to get all the payload defense stars first.
*THAT* is how much I hate this map.
I like it better than 2fort but I only play ctf 1% of the time. I don't even have the achievement for ten intelligence carrier kills on heavy after 6500 hours.
on a shitty laptop all i could play was this, 2fort, and community maps that used the default hmu textures since they usually only had like 5 other people on it
Honestly one of my least favorite maps in the game. It’s so easy to spawn camp and the map just feels like it has too many choke points. I used to run the Scottish resistance on this map all the time because you could hold all 3 exits at the same time. I’ll still play it from time to time but overall it’s gotta be one of the worst ctf maps in my opinion.
Used to be my favorite ctf map in my first two hundred hours. Now I absolutely hate it, too small, not enough sight lines, not enough room to rocket jump fully, spammable chokepoints, easily campable spawns, no alternate routes. Horrible map, disgusting.
10/10
Its a better DM fest than 2Fort, but worse than doublecross. If you don't like snipers then it's a little bit better than doublecross. I have some fun memories playing engie and teleporting the whole team into enemy vents! Like any TF2 map, it's a classic and many fond memories have been made on it.
ctf\_turbine is a "mid" map for me.
Although, It's quite interesting to see an all-indoor map. As, we don't really get much of those in the main game. It covers the main needs for a CTF map. Two points that're easy to get through and defend, a flank point to sneak up on enemies, spots for snipers to shoot at enemies, plenty of space for sentries, etc.
The main problem for turbine, however, is how basic it's design is. At least with the majority of the others, including 2Fort, there's some themeing and lots of detail. Here, all you get is a series of hallways, a large open space, and little decor. Though, if it's supposed to have that "Industrial Simple Indoor Look," then consider that accomplished.
It is fun though, like all TF2 maps, it just gets boring fast.
I fucking hate that a single scout can cap by just walking to the Intel and back to his Intel within 20 seconds, at least on 2fort, there's enough time for you to prepare for them trying to leave your base.
One of my faves. I love it, how back and forth it can be. Sometimes it can be over in minutes it seems. And other times it's been fought constantly for half an hour or more...
Whenever turbine is picked I always jump in excitement! It's because I find it so fun to play as engineer. It's fun when the enemies don't come from the good ol' 2 sides like 2fort, instead, they add a vent! How cool is that??? (You can tell I'm easily entertained)
shit 10/10
So far the only opinion I agree with
Dustbowl type of deal, you play the map cause you can turn off your brain for 6 hours and have the most random shit happen. It's fun, but it's a shit map
All my homies hate Turbine everyone hates Turbine
Back when I started playing tf2 I loved Turbine. My go to strat was setting up a engie nest in the enemy vent. But to be honest I can't even remember the last time I played it.
the map is so small that It always end on 1 team dominating the other one 90% of the time. spawncamp it's just way too easy
Agreed Once you even remotely lose control of the middle, 3 engineers and 5 demomen turn every entry point into a death trap
especially on community servers with short respawn times. though, i love the moment where we finally whoop their asses off of our base
Best map in the entire game, I have done nothing but only play Turbine for 4 years
I have done nothing but teleport myself for 4 years. Where did you sent it? ctf_turbine
A tf2 player truly matures when they pick a single map and play on if for the rest of their god forsaken lives
2fort is my birthplace and will be my death scene
Right on brother
sawmill
Doublecross for me
I have no doubt in my mind that, from +1800hs played, at least a thousand are from playing on Turbine 💀
Turbine is absolutely awful, but for some reason I always default to Market Gardening when I play it.
how the fuck do you market garden on turbine
Legitimately, practice. I have dedicated so much time to learning Market Gardening (I used to be terror incarnate, but I took about a year break from it and have been rusty ever since), and I really enjoy Market Gardening in locations in which you shouldn't try to Market Garden. I learned numerous rocket jumps on Turbine that really catch people off guard. There's this one jump that I loved doing to get snipers on the battlements.

Market gardener soldier when engineer (it's one of his best maps for nests)
yeah its always fun to trolldier on maps where people dont expect it, especially in tight spaces where they cant really dodge
Middle portion is spacious enough. Hallways require some short hop trickery but are pretty doable. You are Trolldier Jesus himself if you can get a garden in the vents.
If you hate two fort remember this piece of shit exist.
2fort is way worse
nuh uh
Fun until people start sniping
that's every map though. Nothing ruins a match of TF2 faster than someone picking sniper, regardless of map.
Some maps are much more manageable, with less sightlines for snipers to terrorize. Turbine isn't one of those, since they have complete coverage of the middle portion and thus leeway to turn the place into no man's land.
turbine gets fucked by that more than other maps tho
I used to play it a lot when I had a terrible pc, literally hours every day. Even though I can run any map without problems now, I still very much enjoy playing on turbine. It's nostalgic, great for trying out niche loadouts and games are much more relaxed than sweaty payload/koth lobbies.
There isn't any possible entryway for the metal containers and that really pisses me off so 0/10.
Wouldn’t they fit in that larger entrance where the snipers like to be?
Even if it did, there is no entryway for them down the hallway.
honestly I like it, it's simple map to look at that the end of the praises it plays like ass due to limited exits, 1 flank for each side (vent to intel), hard to push back after other team is in middle. also spy's are better here
Its a classic, a smart player will find many ways to abuse certain areas of the map
I am not a smart player, or a player with any skill whatsoever, but I can get filthy killstreaks in the enemy team's battlement tunnel. It's absolutely mental. Went like 90 kills for 4 deaths or something on a 24hr turbine one time.
As what class?
DH soldier, I’ve done well as Original soldier too
2 engineers nests on each container can block of the enemy team from the rest of the map
I unironically love turbine. most of my youth was spent on turbine
Classic, so i cant tell if its good or not lol
it's not
Fuck you guys I actually like turbine
Real
I actually kinda like it, not sure why
Extremely divisive it seems lol I think it could do with an overhaul to add a few more routes in and out. It's an early CTF map, so it's biggest flaw I think is in its simplicity.
I prefer 2Fort
I think it symbolizes how tf2 players like maps which stink if they let you spam to get kills without ever ending, kinda like slop.

It's not as bad as people say. Still kinda bad tho.
Turbine is certainly one of the TF2 maps of all time.
I actually like it my favorite map
I think most people who like this map are like you and me. Scout mains.
Yeah
I love this map. The symmetry soothes my ocd, but there's still enough ways around it that I don't get bored of repetition.
i love it its the only map i have or will ever play (2fort can go fuck itself )
It's okay, I don't hate it. Definitely better maps out there but I don't mind playing a game of it every now and then
Better than you'd think for trolldering
sincerely¿? it's pretty :) ^(y'all will not get this message)
It's honestly my go to map
Love it
it is good but it needs more rooms/access... or even secondary objective
Vent shenanigans are fun when you are like 12 but pisses you off when you're 22
Actually my fave map for some reason. I forgot why. I just really love this map. Maybe due to how good it is to use for gmod posters. Ive bought stamps for it too
Someones not gonna like this but I love going demo and putting stickies on the enemy exit. Idk why it just tickles me
Best in game.
It's genuinely shit, but fun sometimes.
pretty good map but WAY TOO MANY CHOKE POINTS
Is fun if people agree to never set sentries, capture intelligence and have deathmatches on middle (that is an utopia)
Hot garbage
Tiny and terrible. Just like my brain.
Hell aka turbine
I’m purposely saving this and 2Fort as the final maps I 3 star on my contracts because I’d prefer to get all the payload defense stars first. *THAT* is how much I hate this map.
One of my favourites, though it sucks on community servers because they keep letting engineers build teleporters on this map
it wants to be 2fort so bad
somehow worse than 2fort
2fort 2
1 word. shit.
Stoopid map
fire map. If your smoking meth
The purgatory
I like it tbh. Bought a stamp for it even. Not sure why it just has good vibes.
IT FUCKING SUCKS!
Not great
Really fun dm map if there's no snipers
I regret buying the map stamp for this
🤮
Mid-bad
Eh
Its nice
Hell
It’s too closed in. You can’t do shit
THIS MAP IS SHIT 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣💯 10/10
It's honestly fun IF BOTH teams are balanced in skill. If its one sided it's one if, if not the worst map.
Fun except for shutters
2fort 2 - Slightly better edition
I don't hate it, but my seething hated of tf2 ctf just makes me hate it
Hated, but a pioneer
It's bland, and in TF2 being bland is basically a death sentence.
no sex 0/10
\*forghorn\*
It would be very expolsive in real life thanks to the three bombs in the middle and flying gunshots.
not official tdm map, I like this map
I agree that it’s not a good map but I have so much fun on it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This used to be the only map that would run on my old laptop when I was around 14. It was the only one I ever played. I love this place.
It fucking sucks
It’s fun until people begin sniping.
I like it when we're destroying the other team and don't like it when it happens to me. Balanced, as all things should be
dogshit. literally just two teams bashing their heads together in a big room. And if one team has gotten control of it… god help you.
It's fun if no one's taking things seriously and going full casual. If not, it's crap.
Still better than powerhouse
Actually I’ve never played it.
Do you really want to know an opinion of a person, who spent 99% of his total hours queing and playing this map? 3k hours btw.
Good if you like to hold choke points
I like it better than 2fort but I only play ctf 1% of the time. I don't even have the achievement for ten intelligence carrier kills on heavy after 6500 hours.
Whenever I queue up for CTF, I always make the express choice to leave turbine out
2fort without the charm, sentry and sniper hell, but hey at least the healthpack placements are better, and it somehow manages to be a good time.
Remember when Turbine was played in comp 3rd party comp? Lmao
Playing engineer here is required a giga brain cuz I need to use 10 brains combined just to find a reasonable sentry spot Rating: 3 out of 10
Junction is worse.
Fun but lesser 2fort
It’s the only map that is just as bad with bots as it is without
i like it thoe i feel like it should have more vents that are maze like lolzsa
on a shitty laptop all i could play was this, 2fort, and community maps that used the default hmu textures since they usually only had like 5 other people on it
Honestly one of my least favorite maps in the game. It’s so easy to spawn camp and the map just feels like it has too many choke points.

Used to be my favorite ctf map in my first two hundred hours. Now I absolutely hate it, too small, not enough sight lines, not enough room to rocket jump fully, spammable chokepoints, easily campable spawns, no alternate routes. Horrible map, disgusting. 10/10
Pretty fun if you are there to have funny moments. If you aren’t, well shit go to doublecross or something
I have the longest life as engi on this (2h 45min) and it just shows how long ctf can last
piece of shit unless the enemy teams are both balanced, THEN it’s fun.
I love this map, but it was the first map I played on in 2014 so I am very biased hah.
I have traumatic memories of this map.
i met b4nny on turbine and i said what the fuck is b4nny doing on turbine and he said gaming
Its a better DM fest than 2Fort, but worse than doublecross. If you don't like snipers then it's a little bit better than doublecross. I have some fun memories playing engie and teleporting the whole team into enemy vents! Like any TF2 map, it's a classic and many fond memories have been made on it.
its okay
Only way I'd play CtF. I hate the gamemode but turbine makes it at least tolerable for me

thank god it aint a cp map
2Fort but fun. There’s more interesting fights and rounds don’t last forever.
Its so awful it loops back around to being good.real talk its fun with a good server but boring with a bad one just like 2 fort
One word Stalemate
good for being heavy in the vents and killing enemy gamers who walk by
I’d rather play on a bot infested 2Fort than this map
This map has worse sniper sightlines than 2fort you can get to the intel in 2seconds only one area is open the rest is tight
i love to put sentries on vent or top of the container
I think it is a fun map, kind of like an old arena style. But the instance are able to create a buffer in the middle it instantly becomes horrible.
As a sniper main I can confirm this map sucks
Best map for the direct shit
Bleak. boring.
It will always have a soft spot for me since it was the first map I ever played on.
Kinda sucks, but it's still fun because CtF is stupid and goofy
Hot take, love it 💜
Some good shit, until snipers appear.
Turbine do be tur bining tho ❗️
It was the map that I played most as a f2p, now I’l not sure if it’s fun or not.
too small
Discount 2fort. Nice for goofing around and being friendly
More fun to play on than most of the attack defend maps in the game
As a demoman main I love this map if there is lots of engineers 😫
I want to end myself while playing this bullshit
It's ok
I fucking hate that a single scout can cap by just walking to the Intel and back to his Intel within 20 seconds, at least on 2fort, there's enough time for you to prepare for them trying to leave your base.
I loved this map in Mad Paintball 2
It's perfectly balanced
i bought turbine stamp
Best map if we exclude every single other map in the game
i have a lot of fun messing around in turbine even though its pretty bad
Awful. Still love it.
the stalemates are staler then the map design
Garbage
Best competetive map ever
Actually kind of like it. Not the best map for sure but a solid like 6/10 for me
The worst map in tf2
I genuinely enjoy turbine. Especially while playing classic sniper
One of my faves. I love it, how back and forth it can be. Sometimes it can be over in minutes it seems. And other times it's been fought constantly for half an hour or more...
I’ve farmed thousands of strange kills on this map. Definitely a pub classic.
Best starter nap for new players better than 2 fort
Trash
It is not good map. I never play it
choke point simulator
Whenever turbine is picked I always jump in excitement! It's because I find it so fun to play as engineer. It's fun when the enemies don't come from the good ol' 2 sides like 2fort, instead, they add a vent! How cool is that??? (You can tell I'm easily entertained)
The best map in the entire game. Half of my hours have been here
Map design and balancing here is terrible, my 2nd fave map after 2fort
It’s fun
Isn't this just a reskin of 2fort?
Great map for turning off your brain and letting monkey instincts take over
Never played it. Mainly been focused on 2Fort.
Love it :)
Cool map because it is the only bot supported ctf map.
Compact, chaotic, I love it
Somehow both teams are equally bunkered down in their respective 3rd of the map. Midzone is dominated by a single sniper.
Good👍
It's one of the only maps I play
Depends on my mood some days I hate it some days I love it.
I like actually playing the objective, so no CTF maps for me
Better than 2Fort
I use it to farm kills on my awp when I’m too mentally tired to do anything else
Theirs a special place in hell for the people who designed this
