TEAM FORTRESS 2//

Crasher!
CAPTURE THE FLAG
Grab a bomb, become a giant, blow up a gate.
Crasher! is an invade CTF map that puts a unique spin on TF2's gameplay, with teams playing around and alongside some decidedly huge dudes.
This one's in the game!

Giants
CAPTURE THE FLAG
Stay toasty amidst the permafrost in the waste heat of two giant supercomputers.
Giants is a rotational-symmetry CTF map with an emphasis on intel pushes and a push-pull flow, avoiding the stalemates typical of the mode. It also looks damned good.

Hades
CAPTURE THE FLAG
Rescue your boss' soul so you can finally get paid.
Hades is a CTF map uniquely set in the ancient Greek underworld. Douse your allies and enemies alike with potion-filled amphorae! Get scared to near-death ferrying souls! Get beaten to actual-death by the undead crawling out of the Styx!

Coppice
ATTACK/DEFEND CONTROL POINTS
Fight over a sleepy lumbermill-turned-launch-site in remote appalachia.
Coppice is a 3-point ADCP map with a tight spiralling layout, with points A and B situated atop one another.
Fourth place in the TF2M Rule of Threes contest.

Blizzard Bowl
ATTACK/DEFEND CONTROL POINTS
A snowy remix of a beloved classic.
Blizzard Bowl is a chilly retheme of Dustbowl with layout changes designed to ease stalemates and freshen up gameplay, without detracting from what made the original so much fun.

72hr 2021
DETAIL MAP
Please wait in the designated area. A sales representative will arrive shortly.
72hr 2021 is a gracefully-unnamed detail map made during the TF2Maps 2021 Winter Jam. It was featured in the post-jam showcase!

Fastener
GUARDIAN MANN VS MACHINE
Grab a friend and stop a train in co-op bombless MvM.
Fastener is the winner of the TF2Maps Guardian Dynamica Contest. Not bad for a first swing at MvM, huh?

Spillway
KING OF THE HILL
Skirmish over a massive hydroelectric dam.
Spillway is a mirror-sym KOTH map with an emphasis on flanking and an open point that can change hands quickly.
Featured in Open Fortress and creators.tf.

Spellway
KING OF THE HILL
Claim the estate of a recently-dead mad scientist.
Spellway is a halloween version of Spillway, with unique gameplay mechanics and a reartpass so drastic it's barely recognisable.
Featured in Open Fortress.

OPEN FORTRESS//

Warhead
DEATHMATCH
Mind the exhaust.
Warhead is a tightly-wound circular DM map centred around a huge missile silo, with an emphasis on lightning-fast movement and even faster frags.
It also makes it hard to get a nice screenshot.

STUPID SHIT//

Cooler Badwater
PAYLOAD
Equal parts tragic and hilarious, Cooler Badwater is the result of spending several months stuffing a map with as many jokes as possible.
Second place in Startacker's April Fools 2020 Mini-Contest.

Cooler Upward
PAYLOAD..?
Cooler Upward is the sequel to Cooler Badwater, created with the goal of trying to one-up it in every possible way. I think it worked out.
Made for Startacker's 2021 April Fools gameday, The Expedition.

Turbine
SPECIAL DELIVERY
Pioneering level design with Y-symmetry that everyone else is too sane to try, sd_turbine solves zero issues with Turbine's iconic layout and instead piles on 50% more.
Made in a five-day fervorous haze after Cooler Badwater, for the TF2Maps April Fools 2020 Gameday.
