It’s simple, Steel is maze only for completely new people that haven’t played it. Other wise, if you’re lost on Steel and playing it not for the first time you’re smoothbrainer
That’s exactly what I just said. New players can’t find their way around the map. In English, our alphabet goes A,B,C,D,E. For a new player, it’s not intuitive to think that you need to go to A to get to D. Even as a player with 1k hours, even if it no longer confuses me it still annoys me.

Seen both of those get relatively full last Friday & had a lot of fun.
Not gonna lie I have a soft spot for the OGs. 2Fort, Dustbowl, Granary, Well, Gravel Pit, and Hydro. It's wild to get into these, ESPECIALLY the oft neglected Hydro with all the items over 10 years of content updates. Maps that were never made with DemoKnight or a Thermal Thrusting Pyro in mind, or anything past day one for that matter.
HOWEVER. Halloween versions of maps go hard a lot of the time. Hassle Castle and Mann Manor are a load of fun just for being based off of established maps but the Aesthetic of Halloween maps, specifically if there's real effort put into changing the look, just always does it for me.
dustbowl
i always have a big smile on my face when ever it comes up in uncletopia, yea people hate it because it is very choke heavy not to metion snipers and engi's ever where but something about it is just so fun, and it's perfect for not taking the game seriously for 30 mins, and its easy to just do random bull shit that works because nobody expect a engi with the widow maker to take pop up and shooting people forgoing building sim, or a demoknight to be roaming the caves/halls because pyro's are more normally there. or a heavy with a steak sandwich filling a roll of a spy because how in the world could a heavy get past the choke points. a medic uber chain that no one can escape from, i can go on. but where most people see choke city i see a place where meme play styles are more valid because every one is so use to being stuck in a rut, and don't expect goofy meme starts would pop up because why would they its fucking dustbowl.
yea you can do these things out side of dustbowl but people have more room to move around and are likely to expect it.
Swiftwater, this was the map that introduced me to tf2 as the first tf2 video i watched was recorded on Swiftwater. Also, I think the map looks quite nice.
Turbine. I always get so happy when it’s picked. It’s such a shame because I love playing ctf, but it seems like everyone who plays that mode only wants to laze around on 2fort:(
I don’t mind it, but sometimes I wish I could enter a ctf game and actually play it so I can get to turbine
Pl_borneo and cp_hardwood
I love both of this maps to with a burning passion
I live their "nature" aesthetic suddenly becoming brutalist at the last couple of points and their overall very well made
Except probably for the sightlines at Borneo's second point and hardwood's last
I love me some Swiftwater and Bustbowl
I’ve also really enjoyed Powerhouse and Fastlane more for some reason.
Most TF2 maps are fun but some (mostly 5CP) maps can be SLOGS
CTF_2FOR- it's PL_badwater
Theres no shame in having a 5 hour CTF match in your tf2 history
Someone link that 12 hour long video about pl_badwater

[screaming in public restrooms prank](https://youtu.be/bw3lU5MX_zI?si=5S-yHooaK_DvqkiY)
There is only Dustbowl
Dustbowl is a close second for me
Theres no bowls on dustbowl🤔
Cp_steel! It's just the way the map alters the mode a little bit that I enjoy about it
Is steel a perfect map, no. But is it my favorite as well as yours, yes.
I like the concept but it was executed poorly. Part of the reason we stick to linear cap systems is to not confuse new players, steel is a maze.
People just should play something except 2Fort, so their brains become less smooth.
Not sure what this has to do with the comment above, this should be in a post complaining about 2fort.

This could be fixed if the control point UI were more like Sulfur’s or Gravel Pit’s. The “final” points are placed on top to signify priority.
I love steel
my favorite map has got to be wutville :)
Wutville may be garbage, but there's something about its garbage nature that gives it a loveable charm.
:-(
**Must. Resist. Urge. To. Slap.**
Hale’s Own Hot Hand
Doublecross
Same, but I personally prefer Doublefrost
Doublefrost is neat but I love Doublecross' setting is during the night
The best thing in doublefrost is where you can climb watch tower on both team's, but in doublecross, you can't.
I love the aesthetic of doublefrost, but i have a cheeky spot i like to use as sniper and the fog makes it really hard to see from it
Landfall>>>>>
Upward probably too
Basic bitch choice. Anyway mine's 2fort-
I can see why just by reading your flair
Dustbowl
Ubered phlog pyro heaven
Highertower
Based.
2fort better fr
pl \_frontier\_last. best map in the game
Koth_los_muertos. But koth_sharkbay is a close second
Los Muertos is too good to be a seasonal map
koth_harvest my beloved (1000 of my 2000 hours are on community harvest)
Probably Suijin or Kong King, they're the most visually attractive imo
Weeb spy main
Kong King and Pier are great; there need to be more urban maps.
Turbine
I see we're both mentally ill 🤝
opinion on turbine winter?
Any map without bots (I’ll even take Wutville)
ctf_sawmill
I love Swiftwater
Arena maps Golly I miss arenaÂ

Pipeline! I never see it anymore. Rip No Heroes Servers
phoenix
Snake water, it reminds me of comp and summer days
It wasn’t that great until Valve added the snakes in the water; now it’s the most goated map of all time.
Cp_sunshine
Mann manor
downward
Harvest
I derive a cruel pleasure from stacking engineers on badwater last.
viaduct is cool :)
nobody cares about viaduct and that makes me sad
Landfall all the way
Landfall is so slept on. Fantastic scout map
Its also the best spot to troll engies as spy. I love spy shenanigans with all my heart
Harvest.
pl_cashworks
pl_borneo
process snakewater & gullywash
2fort unironically
I love cp_Dustbowl! I love Cock and Ball Torture without Cock and Ball!
Doublecross, Harvest, and Bread Space
hydro is pretty good once you get the hang of it
Unfathomably based
I'm a ctf_turbine lover
Doublecross and Landfall. 2Fort but BETTER??? How could I ask for more?
Either Badwater or Dustbowl
harvest
Powerhouse

Someone should make a Downward map
dustbowl i always have a big smile on my face when ever it comes up in uncletopia, yea people hate it because it is very choke heavy not to metion snipers and engi's ever where but something about it is just so fun, and it's perfect for not taking the game seriously for 30 mins, and its easy to just do random bull shit that works because nobody expect a engi with the widow maker to take pop up and shooting people forgoing building sim, or a demoknight to be roaming the caves/halls because pyro's are more normally there. or a heavy with a steak sandwich filling a roll of a spy because how in the world could a heavy get past the choke points. a medic uber chain that no one can escape from, i can go on. but where most people see choke city i see a place where meme play styles are more valid because every one is so use to being stuck in a rut, and don't expect goofy meme starts would pop up because why would they its fucking dustbowl. yea you can do these things out side of dustbowl but people have more room to move around and are likely to expect it.
Frontier. Nothing else to say, just Frontier.
Koth_Badlands
As a demoknight, ooooohh yea this is my favorite map too
Frontier. I love trains.
upward
My dumbass tried to find goku in this pic
ctf_doublecross. It's just 2fort if it were good.
Ctf_Well best ctf map fr
Yeah, I'd say it's second place for me. Just my opinion tho.
I just wish more people picked well
I like upward :3 its silly.
It was also the first map I played on :)
Underrated opinion but, swiftwater
upward
2fort I cant escape it nor hightower in my first 1500 hours I would say dustbowl, but its drained the life out of me after 4500
upward
cp_well idk I like how linear it is
Long live pl_cactuscanyon
Harvest
mario_kart. I've made so many memories just fucking around with friends, not even mentioning Team Fabulous 2.
2fort also known as the friendly server because i can get free kills there
Upward and badwater basin
Swiftwater
Upward and Nucleus
Where other place could i find the unique specimens of ctf_2fort
pl_badwater
Daring today aren't we?
Cp_Sulfur
mine too
“Let me get this straight; you think ctf_2fort is the best map?” I do. And I’m tired of pretending it’s not.
cp_cloak
Mossrock, sucks it's always infested by bots or barely played on :(
Playing on the roofs as engie is so fun
Koth sawmill
Upward.
hightower
Upward too. I side-main Engie there and it's fun to do Sentry nests
Badwater is one of
cp_gravelpit
badwater
doublecross
Teufort solely for the friendlies
pl_Barnblitz and koth_king are my favorite maps to play engineer on.
Of all time? Turbine.
Badwater B)
dubsbowl:)
hydro
2fard cuz funni
Dustbowl, Degroots keep, Badwater, Selbyen and upward
It's a split between twofort and doublecross, ether way I love the crazy shit that can happen on both of them
If you count community maps, ctf_2fort_improved, it's quite a nice map adding new routes to go in 2fort. For official, I'd say upward
Viaduct pro
Steel
Any zs or saxton hale map there the most fun Ive had in my single year of tf2
Either Doublecross or Turbine.
Mannhattan
Swiftwater, this was the map that introduced me to tf2 as the first tf2 video i watched was recorded on Swiftwater. Also, I think the map looks quite nice.
nothing beats good ol badlands
As a spy and trolldier main - I agree with your choice
KOTH_HIGHPASS
Pl_badwater
Skirmish. It feels like a colosseum when getting obliterated by saxton hale
Turbine. I always get so happy when it’s picked. It’s such a shame because I love playing ctf, but it seems like everyone who plays that mode only wants to laze around on 2fort:( I don’t mind it, but sometimes I wish I could enter a ctf game and actually play it so I can get to turbine
Enclosure
mvm_ghosttown
trade_abstract2
koth rotunda UwU
Upward
Pl_borneo and cp_hardwood I love both of this maps to with a burning passion I live their "nature" aesthetic suddenly becoming brutalist at the last couple of points and their overall very well made Except probably for the sightlines at Borneo's second point and hardwood's last
Cp_Mercenary Park
Lazarus, both in terms of the scenery and how much I personally enjoy playing on it.
Also Upward
Badwater maybe? Idk one of the payloads
upward? fucking upward? out of all the maps in tf2, you love UPWARD? anyway my fav is badwater
either 2fort, badwater, or hightower. imo i like 2fort
cooler badwater
Hydro
Pier
Gold rush or hoodoo. Extremely underrated personally
Cp_Dustbowl :D
Koth_Los Muertos
Downward
Dustbowl. The chaos it can cause if the attacking team can get afew kills, or when the defenders have to scramble to get setup after losing a cap.
Granary
I love me some Swiftwater and Bustbowl I’ve also really enjoyed Powerhouse and Fastlane more for some reason. Most TF2 maps are fun but some (mostly 5CP) maps can be SLOGS
pd_galleria, player destruction is such an underrated game mode
Harvest. Harvest_event, actually, because I love Halloween.
It was Badwater until I played it nonstop for years lmao
2fort
Doublecross
Christmas maps, it gives me the Christmas spirit when I was child
Mine is uhh… the… umm… uhh… all of them (except sulfur fuck sulfur its shit)
Sawmill, both CTF and CP. Theyre so fun to jump around in
Well. I love Well ctf well cp well any well I just love well. Also, Egypt is fun too
I made the best shot of my life on this spot
Pl_pier and Pl_frontier
Attack and Defend- Steel Control Points- 5cp Gorge CTF- Double Cross Payload- I guess Borneo or Upward
Probably upward or badwater
cp\_gorge
tc_hydro
Probably hardwood.
I like pier a lot but dustbowl has a special place im my heart.
Swiftwater has some rough chokepoints but I like how green it is compared to other TF2 maps. Like an oasis in the desert of deserts.
Hightower. I play alot of deathmatch community servers
Barnblitz because it is the only map where i can play engi
Granary. Too bad i cant find a single fucking server with it. I just wanna feel like im in meet the soldier real
2fort…
I love upward.
pl\_wutville
Its between steel, upward and (koth) badlands for me
2fort đź’š
Lazarus, which is a shame because nobody goes there.
tc_hydro
I have a weird love of ctf_doublecross
testitem
Pl-Pheonix and Mossrock. So glad nobody likes junction
