I wrote a review of cp_Steel recently, a map I’ve known about for a while but have only recently had a change to play in real matches. The five-point attack-defend control point map has quickly become one of my favorites, due to its creativity, complexity, and dynamic strategic elements.
It’s certainly unique, and amazingly well […]

This week’s map: smbcastle2
A small, fun, fairly ridiculous attack-defend CP map, notable for the twin catapults the offense uses to fling themselves into the castle.
There are three points to capture inside […]
Yeah, I know it’s Thursday. If it’s that important to you, wait until Monday to read this.
As I play TF2 with mostly east coasters, they’re usually slouching off to bed just when I’m getting warmed up. Some nights, rather than rolling the dice with the usual collection of mic-spamming pubbie retards, I look […]
