Upcoming early October update?

As long as they make another sweet map, I am ok.

When's the last time Valve actually made a good map? As in made by valve, and not one that they bought from the community.

<Jinx's opinion>

pl_barnblitz (June 23, 2011) is alright, but nobody votes on it often enough for it to really sink in and become a favorite.
pl_upward (July 8, 2010) has become a favorite of mine but only because of the training and gametime I got on it for the ETF2L tournament, it too isn't voted on enough.
Then there's koth_viaduct (August 13, 2009) and pl_badwater (August 19, 2008) which is probably my current #1 favorite. Sheesh, good thing Valve is taking maps from others.

Maybe they'll look to TF2Map's just recently completed competition?

[Mr. Munchlax]

Upward's alright, I'll agree with that. But barnblitz is terribly unoptimized and from what little I've played of it due to only getting about 20 fps rather than the usual 50 or so it doesn't seem all that great. Viaduct is ok, but like most Koth maps once the engies show up it just gets annoying. Badwater is probably the holy grail of Valve-made tf2 maps. Gorge is pretty good as well as the 5-point variant. I like pretty much all the valve made 5-point except for Well. Well is just boring. And I still stand by my opinion that plr_hightower is the absolute worst map ever created in TF2, valve-made or custom.
