I want to think of it this way. I already know a friend of mine is working out a custom map rotation that I KNOW ctf_aerospace is on every now and again. Another server set I'm a mod with is looking to add custom weapons. I prefer to think of this as the hope for a new beginning of custom map rotations.
Which is why you should never make anything hoping for success. When you slave away a year and receive little to no of your main goal, which was attention, then you will be destroyed. Always do something for fun and hope for success on the side.
Don't suppose you could tell me that smooth ass music that brought a tear to my eye? Also wouldn't you agree that commuinity map makers bring out the best in terms of creativity? Man I miss how tf2 used to be.
+DRAIN _ Essay - State Of Mind They surely do, in other games where one has to wait for a overpriced DLC with mediocre maps this isn't even possible, yet in tf2 where there's such a mass of beautiful, creative, funny & stunning maps everyone choses to do quickplay.. because of laziness? lack of servers? I'm not sure but as you can see from the popularity of this video or the popularity from the thread on reddit custom maps definitely aren't dead and people are looking to play these maps again. We just need to make it happen and give opportunities for hosting servers / inviting people etc! Don't miss, tell your friends about it and contact server hosters you know to add these maps and invite people to play and it'll be back in no time :)
Hellbat Silver Valley has no objective, it was supposed to be designed as a trade server map (even though its not marked as one in the name) like the Unusual Trade Vatican City map.
Remember the time before half the servers you find where on an orange maps? When servers hosted these amazing community maps? Where there was experienced veterans of Team Fortress 2, and no one bickering about items you don't have to buy? Or... Are those times meant to be memories? *Time is depressing.*
Ricardo Hellman I know right, those orange servers and idle servers are overated with f2p's and these servers deserved more attention than orange and idle servers.
Anyone else every play on cp_blackmesa? I loved that map. There's a couple of servers that still run it, but they almost never have a match going. Such a shame. I first started playing tf2 back in the summer of '08, and half or so of the servers back then would run custom maps, not the valve maps. I appreciate what valve was trying to do by adopting community maps, but I think it had the opposite effect of what they wanted; now almost everyone plays on official maps. Maybe if valve hadn't adopted so many, or none at all, that wouldn't have happened. But who knows for sure.
wow i barely remember the first one.. slight traces of nostalgia there. must have been near the start of tf2 second one is pretty clever. gave the illusion of moving even though it isn't third one i remember from jays rocket jumping tutorials fourth one i remember had zombie gamemodes on it or something
Everyone’s still talking about Hydro, but everyone forgot about the orange box, hell. There’s STILL server running there. It’s like a place in tf2 where time stopped, there’s no air blast, no weapons other than stock. The funny thing is that people still act like they do in an average PC server. There’s friendly hoovies, there’s still endless sniper duels on 2 Fort, there’s still spies failing to trick stab, and there’s still even try hards. It’s a real gem.
+Lawrence Granroth Oh, sorry! Just checked it myself, there's actually a 24/7 server online. Last time I checked I found about 1.5k servers, none of them hosting any custom maps (except trade & achievement). Probably just looked at the wrong time :)
I remember I used to play the shit out of "The orange box" on Xbox 360 (Especially TF2) Loved every second of it. I was looking for some videos just to look at the differences between platforms, then I saw the PC version had custom built maps. I flipped, I saved my lunch money for a long time until I had money to buy it for PC. Back then steam didn't had a lot of support for my area (Mexico) so I had to buy and import ToB from ebay. I remember I waited weeks until I finally got it (Again, back then there wasn't a lot of support for outside regions, so I had my uncle mail it to a home in the USA so then he could pick it up and import it) Once I got it, I was taken away by the massive amount of custom maps and content, I remember playing on Convoy a lot. To this day, TF2 is still the game with the most hours I have on my steam library with over 600 hours. I miss those days, sadly, TF2 is only a shadow of its former self.
Thanks for remembering Aerospace! It was the founding stone of my game development career and I hold it very close to my heart. I always plan to remake the whole map with everything I've learned along the way. Rest assured it has not been completely forgotten. Congrats on the video, know that it brought back fond memories and I'm glad to hear people that have enjoyed it in the past.
+Arthur Bobany Oh wow, the creator himself! I am deeply honoured, I was looking after you but your last activity was 4 years ago or something so I thought you went off the internet, glad to see that you didn't! Congratulations on making one of the best looking tf2 maps out there! Especially with the dynamic skybox, I've never seen anyone else doing it. It's a shame that you haven't gotten the recognition (yet!) you deserve, but you definitely have talent and skill! Are you from europe by the way? I'd really like this map to be played on some experimental servers, as you can see in the comments many people are missing custom maps, I'd like to try aswell how it plays in a competitive environment. Anyway, great job on the map, it was a pleasure to show it off because it's great, You easily deserve map stamps or a community weapon. Keep it up!
hl2mukkel Thanks again man, its always awesome to connect with players that enjoy what we do. I'm from and currently living in Brazil. I'm working as a Designer on a growing game studio and that has been taking most of my creative energy =) that's why I stopped creating custom content for TF2. Although I'm glad people enjoy the work put into Aerospace, it has some glaring technical and optmization issues that prevent it from becoming official. I'm not sure how it would play on the current meta, as it was done way before the whole class updates and all. Keep up the good job man, growing the community is sure to bring even more quality content in the game. I actually did get a bit of recognition from my contribution to pl_frontier and I'm just happy that people still enjoy the map after all these years!
+PhantomGamer234 Just think of all the maps for L4D, L4D2, Portal 2, and other games that go unplayed after hours of hard work. It's especially hard when TH-camrs play only the bad maps and never any of the good ones that are dying or dead.
Convoy was the only one I've ever heard of or played, but it does seem that MisterMisteroO used Outset in his Adventures of Pootisman series. I started in mid 2011, so I didn't get to see as much of these. It's a shame that some of these aren't resurrected and bug tested to be made official. They are strange and don't fit with normal official maps sure, but maybe the community would like a change. Also, great maps have been made based off Donkey Kong and Pac Man. I personally could never forget the ones like Toy Fort, Bedrooms, Bathrooms and Toystore.
Go to Friendly Fire's Server and have fun with some maps but don't get triggered if most of them don't even look at the map selection and press the first map that appears.
+Monkey Yoda Except that all of the people who never were f2p because they payed for the game before it was ever free. And they probably play team fortress classic, and before that quake arena. The average tf2 player back then had skills from previous experience, and if they didn't they were at least willing to learn. Nowadays all anyone cares about is "having FUN" and being "casual" which apparently means playing as friendly heavy and constantly spamming chat about who wants to trade some garbage cosmetic for some other garbage cosmetic. And heaven forbid you want to actually frag people. Because that's what "tryhards" do. It's a fucking disgrace.
It's so bizarre that I was one of the reasons aerospace even got on the workshop in the first place, It's been a little more than 2 years since then. I hope people will continue to admire these maps, these are too good to be forgotten. ~Greg
Altough its modified for Zombie Apocalypse purpouses. Still.. I can hardly find any server running that map. I still remember Slag Gaming when it was blooming with popularity Waiting in lines just to connect to server. i didnt care that my laptop was shit and couldnt handle what was going on. I had fun, thats what mattered to me the most. I saw it slowly die out. I was excited when i saw advanced weaponary. It felt amazing. I've never had so much fun while finding a lot of people to test along with. Thats the server that died out to me first. Now you can just hardly find anyone playing on it but bots. Then it came time to the good old gamemode madness... No one plays on it anymore. But it was so popular back then. Switching from multiple amazing gamemodes. It died out quickly. The one that is still holding. But is slowly collapsing is Parkour Fortress. It was the MOST popular one of all of them. The amount of maps created by the community for it. It had 2 servers. One, sadly, got lost and you cant even join in. You can find random players but they must be one of the MechaTheSlag's friends. And the main parkour fortress server. First it was hard to get into it. Some time later it lost its bits of popularity leaving more time to join than be frustrated by waiting to join. Now, the server, still somehow reaching half of its max amount of players. Its broken. The leaderboard system along with the timing system got lost in the TF2's update coding. Now even if you "Finish" the map it wont even restart you back to get a better time. Even the zombie fortress/ Super zombie fortress gamemode. That one was so popular you couldnt join in 90% of the time. Unless you stayed overnight just to catch that lower people time to not get stuck in waiting. Then it died out. Now you can hardly find people play it. If anyone is playing it at all..
These maps make me realise how long we've been playing TF2. It's been so long since I've played some of these maps... I remember Convoy, the submarine map and the one with the bizarre dragon thing. Some good times.
I played Aerospace, Convoy, Mach4, and Aqua a ton. The rest I've never heard of. I probably get the most TF2 nostalgia from super old jump maps because I spent the majority of my time jumping when I first got into the game.
CTF_Convoy looks so epic it's one of those maps that make your imagination fly about their story and the fact that it's a capture the flag game mode makes me thing that both teams are competing in order to steal the launching codes of the enemy team rocket in order to sabotage them cause they seem to be racing to reach some kind of launching place in order to go to space
There was this one cool island-themed map I saw called tc_meridian. It was a whole territorial control map lovingly crafted and with a lot of effort put into it. Too bad I've never seen a single server run it.
i think that silver valley could use some trees and rocks. i really adore ctf_outset_dewdleb6 but im not sure how the water will work. will you be able to walk or just swim? maybe if you sink to far down you die?
How about CTF Blackmesa? Had some spawn camping issues but damn did I play the hell outta that map, it's where I fell in love with the Frontier Justice.
What was the name of the map with the train that went in a circle and back to back spawn areas which were the red/blu stations? It was buggy and totally bonkers but we had great times there.
Oh shit, Convoy! I spent hours playing this map many years back. Saddest thing though is the next video in the playlist is an old Muselk video for Convoy, and you know what he favors these days. How many modern FPS's outside Valve's iterary even allow user-made maps these days?
I remember ctf_flyingfortresses was great. Picture Convoy, only two aerial bombers with the wings touching. Any person or projectile outside the plane had to deal with a drag force as well. And pl_rainbowride is a phenomenal custom map but could never in a million years be made official.
A shame maps like these are forgotten about. Wish there was a server that just had all these maps and other really well made ones that didn't get the attention they deserve.
My absolute favourite map when I started playing TF2 back around 2008/2009 was "best_in_class_v2". That map made me a better TF2 player and I just loved all the secrets in it as well. Unfortunately all the new weapons and updates have somewhat broken the map so that some of the class based challenges aren't really challenging any more. I eagerly await a "best_in_class_v3".

Some of these maps are so BEAUTIFUL! It's sad that they're forgotten like hydro, even worse.
they are buetifull, i wanna have then so bad
Hydro was so bad though lol
it was either 1 minute rounds or 90 minute stalemates because of the engineer spam

Hydro was re-added today! Rejoice, everyone!
:D
This music makes me feel bad for the maps.

I left TF2 a while ago, I just didn't get the vibe for it like I used to.
TF2 Community sometimes is just so dumb, they play and make popular maps like CP_Orange or idle servers, but they dont give a try to maps like these
You say it like you never tried cp_orange_sniperheadshot_v3_fix
Ricardo Hellman I know right, those orange servers and idle servers are overated with f2p's and these servers deserved more attention than orange and idle servers.
so right
And then these guys who think that cp_orange is a good map also say that tf2 is dead...
It's truly saddening...
Supershadow301 It wouldn't be anywhere near as dead if people had just play these maps. Especially Aerospace
i didn't even know that these maps exist

Players of tf2 are dropping so I guess that Valve can’t use all the maps in match making leading to some maps being dead
wow i barely remember the first one.. slight traces of nostalgia there. must have been near the start of tf2

Well trickstabbing in the orange box version is generally harder because of the old backstab delay.

Custom maps are my favorite part about TF2, and this video reminded me as to why, thank you for showcasing these awesome maps.
Those are community maps, right?
I've hosted convoy, aerospace and that one dragonslayer map on my server before I went on hiatus. Old but truly not forgotten.
Convoy was the only one I've ever heard of or played, but it does seem that MisterMisteroO used Outset in his Adventures of Pootisman series.

Switching from multiple amazing gamemodes. It died out quickly. The one that is still holding. But is slowly collapsing is Parkour Fortress. It was the MOST popular one of all of them. The amount of maps created by the community for it. It had 2 servers. One, sadly, got lost and you cant even join in. You can find random players but they must be one of the MechaTheSlag's friends. And the main parkour fortress server. First it was hard to get into it. Some time later it lost its bits of popularity leaving more time to join than be frustrated by waiting to join. Now, the server, still somehow reaching half of its max amount of players. Its broken. The leaderboard system along with the timing system got lost in the TF2's update coding. Now even if you "Finish" the map it wont even restart you back to get a better time. Even the zombie fortress/ Super zombie fortress gamemode. That one was so popular you couldnt join in 90% of the time. Unless you stayed overnight just to catch that lower people time to not get stuck in waiting. Then it died out. Now you can hardly find people play it. If anyone is playing it at all..
When tf2 was good and had a strong, decent community
These were the best ones too and they seem to have even more quality to official maps
Gone the way of hydro, sadly.
Poor, poor Hydro.
These maps make me realise how long we've been playing TF2. It's been so long since I've played some of these maps... I remember Convoy, the submarine map and the one with the bizarre dragon thing. Some good times.
IS THAT A REAL MAP ?????
wich one
+Arvid Bergman ALL XP
well they are finished community maps
+Arvid Bergman so your saying I can play on it right now 😱
certain community servers rum it, so yeah.

The Wild backburner in it's natural habitat
That calming atmosphere wouldn't last long if you showed the carnage which took place one these maps...
These bring back so many good memories, I miss the good ole' days of TF2
I played Aerospace, Convoy, Mach4, and Aqua a ton. The rest I've never heard of.
I probably get the most TF2 nostalgia from super old jump maps because I spent the majority of my time jumping when I first got into the game.
Can someone tell me the name of the music?.... My heart, spirit, soul, mind, everything felt so calm listening... Thanks!
Essay state of mind -sorry for the late reply
This makes me feel sad, just imagine all the hard work and effort for these maps and no one plays or notices them.
thank god tf2c is reviving these maps as part of their weekly custom map rotations
CTF_Convoy looks so epic it's one of those maps that make your imagination fly about their story and the fact that it's a capture the flag game mode makes me thing that both teams are competing in order to steal the launching codes of the enemy team rocket in order to sabotage them cause they seem to be racing to reach some kind of launching place in order to go to space
How is Eclipse forgotten and from another era if it was released in Dec 2015? I vividly remember Flowershop posting it to TFtv
I remember playing once on the convoy.. ive been looking for it for years.. Thank you :)
Looking forward to searching for these maps.
RIP forgotten TF2 Maps we will NEVER forget the good arts and effects on lost TF2 Maps..
RIP
There was this one cool island-themed map I saw called tc_meridian. It was a whole territorial control map lovingly crafted and with a lot of effort put into it. Too bad I've never seen a single server run it.
Scream Fortress maps are also always fun to revisit, along with Doomsday. The ones I miss are the idle and trade maps that I forgot he names of.
There's also PL_Boundary which I saw on Star_'s channel once. These are some great maps. I know people still play Convoy though.
i think that silver valley could use some trees and rocks. i really adore ctf_outset_dewdleb6 but im not sure how the water will work. will you be able to walk or just swim? maybe if you sink to far down you die?
Mach4 and Convoy were some of my favorite custom maps, sad to see they're still dead.
How about CTF Blackmesa? Had some spawn camping issues but damn did I play the hell outta that map, it's where I fell in love with the Frontier Justice.
We need to play these maps there alone no one aren't playing on them
What was the name of the map with the train that went in a circle and back to back spawn areas which were the red/blu stations? It was buggy and totally bonkers but we had great times there.
I check the server list every time I boot the game for a server running Convoy. There's always only one. It's always empty. T-T
Oh shit, Convoy! I spent hours playing this map many years back. Saddest thing though is the next video in the playlist is an old Muselk video for Convoy, and you know what he favors these days.
How many modern FPS's outside Valve's iterary even allow user-made maps these days?
Lazytown Lazyday will always have a special place in my heart. I graduated from Gibus F2P to P2P Vet playing on that map.
Why did they make the music so depressing...I NEED TO KNOW ITS NAME.
All maps are wonderful :-) Thank you
and balloon race? that yes, is from another era.
I like that lazypurples server plays nice custom maps even if you don't play them the way you intended
Are these all official valve maps? or maps which have been implemented into the game via the workshop. Not just a custom map on the workshop.
They're all custom maps.
I remember most of these. cp_aqua was a great map. I'd like to suggest adding ctf_quarry_v2 if you do another video though.
I remember ctf_flyingfortresses was great. Picture Convoy, only two aerial bombers with the wings touching. Any person or projectile outside the plane had to deal with a drag force as well.
And pl_rainbowride is a phenomenal custom map but could never in a million years be made official.
Convoy lives on as a VSH map in most of the Vs. Saxton Hale servers I've been on. It's not super popular, but it does get play.
I love how the red plane on aerospace is literally just the tornado from sonic
Does the back burner dragon thing kill people on mystic ruins
Such beautifull. I love whe way the first map looks
silver_valley, ah man, that brings back so many memories of the server i used to play on. awesome vid
Oh, it brings tears to the eyes, it does.

A shame maps like these are forgotten about. Wish there was a server that just had all these maps and other really well made ones that didn't get the attention they deserve.
My absolute favourite map when I started playing TF2 back around 2008/2009 was "best_in_class_v2". That map made me a better TF2 player and I just loved all the secrets in it as well. Unfortunately all the new weapons and updates have somewhat broken the map so that some of the class based challenges aren't really challenging any more. I eagerly await a "best_in_class_v3".
man a remeber these maps and they where one of my favourite back in the days
I never even knew most of these maps existed, the only one I knew was the 2nd map, all of these maps to me are wonderful and clearly well made
What about Silver Valley I can find that on the workshop or in game
Can you give me the server ip for aerospace
