we playtested it nigh weekly during develoupment and we had a 2 hour long stress test before release! but theres still bound to be some issues, were still woking on it though to make sure its as smooth as we can get it.
@@Nicotrie It plays in a scene where the main characters think they've destroyed the machine this map is based on, but as one goes off to catch a vinyl that rolled away from the rest, he sees the machine lumber forward out of the dust as the audio cuts away and the song is the only noise.
Achievement golden wrench map. Still remember going to a random server and trying to destroy it with others or solo. Especially great as a spy to just sap the dispenser in the robots mouth, jump out and watch as it finally dies. Damn shame i cant even access the map anymore on the create server option
@@Iciclefairy Apparently still on gamebanana or even steam workshop now that i checked quickly with google. However those are old so not sure if they help
I remember that map.... The use of the announcer's lines there made it legit feel like a boss fight was starting. And... rewatching a video of it. It was VERY impressive for the time.... Maybe a concept like that could be revisited for a Vscript map?
Was planning on playing Scream Fortress just for this map, real shame it wasn't added :( Definitely going to search out some community servers if it's running on any though!
I've seen the comments saying this map is a reference to the movie 9, but it also shares similarities with the premise of the Air Exchange from the Half Life 2 Beta (was that inspired by 9 too? IDK) which tickles my brain in a good way
I was so so very excited to play this. I was sure this was going to be added into the official Halloween map rotation. Dawww... :( Its still a banger map concept and video. Edit: Do you know of any servers that'd host this map?
if i had to guess, probably some jank with the demo system, mouse movements are not recorded 100%, the server we were testing on has a pretty strict anti cheat system so i doubt they would have slipped by.
Ok I read the title and instantly thought of Snatcher from a hat in time, before I reread the title and was ok no just scream fortress, then I clicked, and wow! looks great so far
At first I thought it was Yet Another Halloween KOTH Map (because we're not oversaturated with those already..) But this is an interesting concept for a gamemode. Despite that though, does the machine actually do anything beyond moving around a bit while you harvest lifeforce for it (at the end of a round perhaps?) or is it just.. there..? If its the latter its a lot of wasted potential. But even if its not, the fact that its a new type of gamemode might already be enough for Valve to NOT add it - as they have no category to add it to
That's what they have the 'Misc' tab for, and since it uses VScript (I assume it does, at least), it would be an option for Valve to add to the game. That is what VScript was added to TF2 for, after all, and we've seen it used already.
@@moony_otter i mean I'd love to see it but at the same time, we know how valve is when it comes to adding new things .. namely new weapons. So an entire (semi unofficial) gamemode that so far only supports one map? Even more unlikely. Or I'm just too full of negativity, I'm a Pyro after all! :D
@@shoulderpyro Last year Valve added VSH, ZI, ADCTF (haarp), The first community-made boss fight (krampus), the first non-halloween PD map since 2015 (Selbyen) and other completely unique twists on existing game modes like Perks. I think the chance of them adding this is more likely than you think ;)
@@nanoco1000 Yknow what, touche. Got me there. I knew about VSH but I honestly forgot about all the rest. Krampus is winter-only and ZI is halloween only - both of which having been gone for nearly a year now. and HAARP is so far down the Forgotten Maps list I likewise, forgot it existed. So maybe it does have more chance than I thought initially. Well, heres hoping then c:
now THIS is what Vscript should be used for. Don't get me wrong wacky gamemodes 'n all that are cool gimmicks, but I'd rather have already good maps be enhanced by Vscript
I noticed something. A device that feeds _something_ into the Machine is connected to it via black cable. Better make it a green thread of lightning. Would make more sense, since it runs into that retro sci-fi laser barrel antenna📡, and would look better
Oh I am so ready for the comment section to be filled with 9 references. 6 days early for 9/9 but close enough for me. Loved that film when I was a kid
I loved the movie 9... I need this map added, *NOW* Edit: I know most maps are against TF2's original 60s artstyle I wanna say this map follows that concept, but the timeline of 9 is a lot more 1930s than 60s.
Map design and the idea behind it is actually really good. I am a big fan of Halloween maps that kinda deviate from traditional Halloween stuff (monsters, pumpkins, skeletons, pumpkins) and emphasize on something else creepy, scary or terrific. Btw, does it has a unique announcer?
IS THAT A REFERENCE TO THE HIT 2009 MOVIE 9!
9 is a fantastic film.
I am planning on watching the Movie 9 on September 9th.
I love that movie!
Yo, that movie absolutely freaked me out as a kid. I loved it though, and I still do. Fantastic movie
LMAO so I wasn't the only one thinking about it!
Nice reference to 9
I love this movie. The reference is awesome.
I was goin to say this reminds me of the movie 9 and saw I'm not the only one
It's even better in russian loclization
That’s what I was thinking too, dope movie
Forget TF3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. These guys just went straight to Team Fortress 9.
I love if even the stake is literally the world itself, BLU and RED will always fight each other for the sake of glory.
For the sake of glory? They're literally fighting over gravel 💀
@@aleflippy1997 ? I was talking about this map not the whole lore
same map creators who created krampus, you know it's already going to be really good.
The concept and trailer already looked promising but this just gives me high hopes for decent fun
This should 100% Be in TF2. The movie 9 is great.
Looks really cool, I hope the map is properly playtested and plays well
we playtested it nigh weekly during develoupment and we had a 2 hour long stress test before release! but theres still bound to be some issues, were still woking on it though to make sure its as smooth as we can get it.
@@zythe_ Glad to hear it! I’d have hated for it to solely be eye candy
oh shit, 9
NINE MERCS
"Somewhere, over the rainbow...."
I'm sorry if this is obnoxious and I don't know something really obvious, but is this OFF?
@@Nicotrie it's a song that plays in the movie "9" (the inspiration for this map) when the little dolls walk on a jukebox (I think?)
@@justanotherspookyskeleton
I will look it up.
Afaik, the piece existed way prior to both of these, didn't know anything else used it though.
@@Nicotrie It's alright
@@Nicotrie It plays in a scene where the main characters think they've destroyed the machine this map is based on, but as one goes off to catch a vinyl that rolled away from the rest, he sees the machine lumber forward out of the dust as the audio cuts away and the song is the only noise.
kinda reminded me of that old TF2 robot boss battle map with the machine that pops out of the hole in the middle. Also, love the movie 9.
The mecha engineer i think

You know it's the apocalypse when all sounds are just non-stop blasting industrial dance disco. Truly horrifying!
I like how a 9 reference in TF2 has some funny layers to it, given how there's 9 classes at play here
I can’t wait for the entire community to play this during scream fortress!🎉
Thank god that movie is still remembered
Well, its sad to not see this map making it out of the steam workshop but atleast you tried. Good map.
It's surprising to see a map based on an old movie I saw when as a kid put in TF2. The internet sure is something and I love it :p
Honestly the idea that the capture point is both a location and a physical item someone has to hold sounds so much fun
TF2 X 9:nine? I thought this was for halloween, not christmas!
instead the capping the point in the middle it became who can carry the item until time rounds over now thats something new
''With their masters gone, but with the hearth of war still hot, the mercs wage war without reason.'' - Me.
APPROVED!
There is a hat called "Wisdom fighter" on workshop.
A "9" reference too
whoaw just he backgound is amaing, theempty grey desolate landscape is, unnerving and creepy perfect for halloween
A machine that feeds on soul? The 9 movie, of course.
Was planning on playing Scream Fortress just for this map, real shame it wasn't added :(
Definitely going to search out some community servers if it's running on any though!
Welcome back, special delivery.
Nah, it's more like KOTH
9 reference...I LOVE IT!!!
This is an excellent idea for a map and an excellent memory of a forgotten movie
Wow, this looks awesome!
I love the animation work on the Machine. It looks fantastic. c:
9 REFERENCE: CONFIRMED
SUPPORT: GIVEN
Truly is a war without reason..
I've seen the comments saying this map is a reference to the movie 9, but it also shares similarities with the premise of the Air Exchange from the Half Life 2 Beta (was that inspired by 9 too? IDK) which tickles my brain in a good way
They done gone dropping trailers for tf2 maps now
I want stitch-punk cosmetics to go along with this. Gimme some aperture lens goggles!
This gives me 9 vibes. If that was intended, based. I loved that movie. And this map could be cool if it's accepted for Scream Fortress.
This looks WILD I LOVE IT
The map design is pretty solid
I was so so very excited to play this.
I was sure this was going to be added into the official Halloween map rotation. Dawww... :(
Its still a banger map concept and video.
Edit: Do you know of any servers that'd host this map?
Suspicious flicking at 1:11.
if i had to guess, probably some jank with the demo system, mouse movements are not recorded 100%, the server we were testing on has a pretty strict anti cheat system so i doubt they would have slipped by.
Heavy mains when a breeze of air gets on them:
This is obviously gonna become part of the game so,
Congrats!!!
That looks great, i will give it a try
im obsessed with the 9 movie reference!!!
i know this is a reference to the movie 9 but the intro has ultrakill vibes too, i like that
9?! Oh my gosh! The nostalgia! I miss that movie!
loved the move and this looks great
9 is my favorite movie of all time so this is a HELLA welcome sight
Ok I read the title and instantly thought of Snatcher from a hat in time, before I reread the title and was ok no just scream fortress, then I clicked, and wow! looks great so far
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that this was a very clear reference to 9
Yeah this gonna be my new favorite map

@@nanoco1000haarp doesn’t have vscript, it’s made with dark black hammer magic. I played it 15 years ago and it still functioned the same.
looks like the thing Medic and Engineer would build in their garage

Awesome looking map!
WAR WITHOUT REASON
NO NO THE REFERENCE IS THE MOVIE 9
looks really good, hope it gets added
THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!
i was about to ask whether this is inspired by 9 but i see others have outpaced me
The music gives me bounce house commercail vibes.
Behold, the lobotomizer 9000
Oh hey, I think I remember testing this way back when it was still mostly untextured.
YOOOOO it's the thinking machine from 9!!!!!
i hope Itsy Bitsy Spyer is somewhere on this map
9.
the video has that kinda old video game trailer feel
if they dont add this to scream fortress im gonna scream like new weapons soldier
I was NOT expecting a 9 reference
Oh this map GOTTA WIN
9, my beloved.
I love this map already! i necer thought a 9 theme would be in Tf2
Inspired in the 9 movie, and the game has 9 classes, what a coincidence!
The mercs will find a way to use it as a ball scratcher
If anyone complains about the art style of this map, please refer them back to embargo lol
IS THE 9 MOVIE MACHINE!!!
Amazing trailer
I noticed something. A device that feeds _something_ into the Machine is connected to it via black cable. Better make it a green thread of lightning. Would make more sense, since it runs into that retro sci-fi laser barrel antenna📡, and would look better
Yes.
Damn, if this music will be really play on map in the game it will be great!
looks fun, I'm a little worried about those sightlines though. It looks like sniper can see the entire map
This looks like that freaky robot from 9. one of the creepiest films i've ever seen
Oh I am so ready for the comment section to be filled with 9 references. 6 days early for 9/9 but close enough for me. Loved that film when I was a kid
Looks pretty chaotic
Amazing!
YEEEEEEEEEEESS
I love 9!!! Amazing map
i saw this and really hoped it was a cool map with a boss entity but i guess it’s just a really-really cool map with a cool objective
great 9 reference
I give this map my vote ❤
Thx for the robot sucking doll souls
Shoutout to all my fellow 9heads in chat
Ah yes, one of the coolest of my childhood trauma coming to haunt me in the modern day, but I'M AN ADULT NOW AND I WELCOME IT.
Oooh... It's the war machine from 9 because there's 9 classes... clever
This reminds me of the Brain Snacher from Billy and mandy
Definitely doesn't look like rope entities like being moved that much.
I loved the movie 9... I need this map added, *NOW*
Edit: I know most maps are against TF2's original 60s artstyle
I wanna say this map follows that concept, but the timeline of 9 is a lot more 1930s than 60s.
this give me 9 vibes and i want this in the game now, but ik valve wont
IS THIS 9?????? MY CHILDHOOD!!!
This goes hard
Oh this is beautiful
A Perfect 9!

Btw, does it has a unique announcer?
