Hey guys! Sorry for the downtime. We're experiencing a bit of a blackhole 2.0 situation, so you'll have to bear with us as we try to figure things out.

Long story short: When one staff member tried to organize some the 72HR Jam downloads into their own subforum, an outdated plugin decided that it would take ALL of the downloads on the entire site and remove their metadata. In other words, none of the files were deleted, but the data that tells those files what they belong to is gone...

Hey everyone, just wanted to drop you all a quick line letting you know about a big staff change for us.

First, the forum-blackhole'ing, contest-hosting, medal-distributing, always helpful nerd of nerds himself @Fr0Z3nR has stepped down from his staff position here at TF2Maps to further pursue his game development passions with his company Eerie Bear Games! Check out his team's first Steam release...

Over the course of this weekend we recorded this episode of KritzKast, edited and released it. While this is not in the least bit unusual, we did have a little bit more incentive to get it done. As LeSwordfish pointed out. Content created within this period may qualify us for entry into the TF2maps.net Summer 2016 72hr TF2Jam. And who doesn’t like Jam?

Hello everyone and welcome to the new forums!

Before you go off and starting poking random buttons, make sure you read this guide! We don't want a repeat of what happened the last time some un-named cool staff member did that. This thread is the portal to all the major changes you need to know about.

Joined by donhonk and SedimentarySocks we go through the week’s updates and tweaks. We dig into the community update, “Frontline” and find out what makes for a really great working environment. Saved you a click.. it’s memes, lots of memes. We’re going to need a bigger podcast.

Uncle Dane and Uberchain return to the show to address the biggest update we’ve seen since… well since ever. TF2 finally has matchmaking; casual looks and plays completely differently and a whole bunch of changes to the classes means that the old meta for 6s is out. Oh and there’s also a war brewing between Heavy and Pyro. Go TeamPyro.tf Day 1 Webpage – http://www.teamfortress.com/meetyourmatch/ Announcement video – https://youtu.be/gvuqLylQOoE Day […]

Not since the weeks leading to End of the Line, have so many people been so close to the edge of their seats. The long awaited “neato” update seemed to be coming out this weekend with a bunch of people making predictions that it absolutely, definitely, cut-me-own-throat if I’m a lying to you assuredly will be; turning sadly to another nope.taunt. Speaking of which… Nope.DMCA – http://podka.st/11c Disgaea PC tie-in […]

I know what your thinking. That episode name is rather weird. Well, lets just say that there is some weird stuff discussed in this weeks episode. We talk about Dream hacks finals that didn’t finished. A TF2 composer that you can download and play with, an awesome cowboy bebop TF2 video…….and map porn. I could explain what it is, buts you’ll enjoy it more if you listen to the episode. […]

It’s still a little too early to hope for anything too wonderful from the nimphs of summer. Perhaps it will be pixies and dancing rainbows; perhaps it’ll be rivers of molton lava flowing around our underwater bases. Who can tell? Certainly not Tempest and I. But what I do want to see is a bunch of Australians kicking seven layers of snot out of Europeans and North Americans. Or at […]

“I need proof!” We may have had a brief insight from an actual Valve employee, known to be working on the next update that the update itself will be, in a word, “neato”. Read into that what you will but frankly I’ve been burned a little to often to take anything at face value.

You too could be experiencing the flesh melting horror of Halloween every day, with this one simple linkbait trick. As disturbing as that may seem it's nothing compared to being trapped in a lift with Agro and Tempest. The dad jokes, the puns, the humanity!

Chronos and Agro have hatched a dastardly plot, trapping everyone else in a closet, leaving us on our own to discuss some good new workshop submissions and plans for world domination; but mostly the workshope.

Tempest and Agro are joined by rough voiced American, Grey.. or is that Chronos? To discuss the greatest moments in TF2’s history that have ever happened [that week]. Including the all new and delightful changes to Huds.tf, the utterly miserable fate of TF2 YouTuber, “Rapid”, and the meaningful longings of the near overwhelmingly talented Grizzly Berry. Damn that guy and his dulcet tones. Update May 17th – http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=21904 HUDS.TF Submissions […]

This is probably going to be the last time you’ll see Overwatch in the title. It was a great game and will probably continue to be a great game long into the future. It just won’t be covered by KritzKast. We’re reverting to our first love, Team Fortress 2.
