<in old grandparents-like voice>
Back when I started playing TF2 there were only 6 maps we played on.
You kids these days are so spoiled with your hundreds of maps and new gameplay modes...
</end voice>

I do remember a lot of those first custom maps that came out even before an official TF2 SDK was made available. it's actually one of the reasons i started playing on the server (this was when many started on the Khaos server) as it was one of few servers that had custom maps.

i still like some of the older versions of cp_castle (without the first cap point on stage 1 and a different stage 3 layout). but then i also remember why some of these maps are rarely played anymore (hours long sniper-fest on cp_floodzone and thalus, self-destructing teleporters on cp_lazytown, ridiculousness of cp_zigzag).

still, i miss playing cp_420crazedarena, arena, toyfort, arenaball, and balloonrace

yer, Malichi hit the nail on the head for what i was looking for.  after playing on my bday i had abit of a nostalgia attack so wanted to try and remmber some of the origonals.  hell, ill try and make a point of re-uploading them at sum point and we could have a classic rotation for an hour or summing.

no offence to the new mini canyon trains, but i really want to play the original again. Cheesy

oooooooooooo Danny boy,   the pipes, the pipes are blowing.

still, i miss playing ... balloonrace

Balloonrace was eventually pulled because it was buggy, and was a hassle for admins. That it was a polarizing map fiercely hated by some didn't help.

i remember sinking into the floors and issues w/ teams getting on opponent boats etc. but it was still an innovative map that isn't the usual pl, cp, or attack/defend, which is nice to have a change of pace in games. i also think some players don't give maps a chance to grow on them and too quickly want to rtv. (eg. dom_canalzone, which i love, many don't seem to care for)

Rocketball was more recent, but played incessantly.

Actually I miss that map...and Robin Walker still hasn't got back to me!

This was along the same lines as cp_arena - a pre-arena, arena map and guess what?

<rant alignment="Bias" size="annoyingly huge">
To all you mapping nerds:

Mr. Walker said that Valve didn't use the func_nogrenades anymore when he first replied and then recently in a patch they said something about func_nogrenades so I checked it out and it doesn't affect grenades...but it does affect rockets and it's the most stupid thing in the world!?

I remeber alot of maps.. but none of them were pretty good, except the ones that are allready mentioned.
Although, there is one map, still not spoken of; one  hell of a masterpiece; so awesome only a few people realize it; So much fun that it makes you loose your funnyfuses!!: I'm talking, of course, about Capture The Funk  Grin
you can say what you want, but I like that map! <3

ctf_hallofdeath is pretty old, isn't it? I remember racking up 70 headshots in one life 2 years ago..

WE should have one day in a week when we just play old maps i really miss them (: like lets have a sat just dedicated to few old maps.   If not once a week we could have it once every two weeks or something like that.   And the old maps are also really good its not like they suck or anything like that.
