Holy shit, serious martin getting mentioned brought me back big time, he was like THE guy back in the era of 2018-2019 post jungle inferno TF2 when we still thought there would be a heavy update
@@pyromanic8 I remember I used to host a server that was featured on one of the silly map videos haha It was the one with infinite sentries plugins. I used steam workshop links for the maps instead of using fastDL like normal servers, which is why it said "updated steam resources". I just wish I'd realised they were on as I would have loved to join in
This is emi (m-e) creator of the "original" map highertower. This brings back memories haha. Sorry for stealing your meme thunder! I was indeed partially inspired by that orange map and your long maps. I dropped out of playing tf2 for many years and only recently came back to the game with some friends around that time. I played hightower for the first time and became aware of the weird culture surrounding the map, trying to complete the objective got you kicked and was mostly a deathmatch map. So logically I needed to make a map that punishes players for playing the objective. I've had many years of source engine experience so I quickly whipped highertower together in a few hours and the rest is history. I felt bad at the time for getting so much attention when I know how much effort goes into making a map. Even the other stuff I poured myself into for years is no where near as popular as highertower. I haven't touched the source engine in a long time but I do look back at my mapping days fondly. Thanks for kickstarting the silly map saga and making so many good tf2 videos whomobile!
You know what we never considered? WIDE maps. We have maps that are extremely tall...extremely long... But imagine being able to flank the enemy position from anywhere because you just walk thirty goddamn miles to the right
Honestly, hearing that it became a fad reminds me of when I randomly spent a couple hours changing the map in HOI4 to make Slovakia shaped like a Rhombus and uploaded it. For a week, a majority of the front page were countries in different shapes.
I remember when comments on my eu4 mod saying how the new dlc plagiarized my mod, people taking your idea and running with it is my fav part of modding no one owns a neat idea
This video made me realize how active community servers were many months after Meet Your Match, at least compared to now. I remember being able to find dozens of servers running these maps, and all of them were full. Thanks for making these maps, they were a fun gag! I especially love long Well!
@@Mcfighter2K yeah nowadays community servers are kind of dying, there used to be all kinds of wacky servers, now it's all death run or class wars or 24/7 maps servers
@@WebsiteCrashed Im curious how VSH servers still hold up, I used to play Zombie Escape in TF2 but eventually decided to stop cause the ZE servers I used to play have been in decline in terms of playerbase quality like players nowadays are more focused on just farming points rather than actually winning the map. Its boring for the human team and frustrating as zombies.
this is the thing i noticed after years of no major updates, the games still alive, yet the community side feels gone in some way id go into meet your match ruining community servers but who cares
OH MY GOD SO IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG??? I remember playing on Long 2Fort, and it was a strangely comforting experience. There weren't many players online but those that were on the server mostly grouped at the middle. It was just really peaceful to see battlements without any people on them, and with such quietness. It really just felt like I was out there somewhere in the middle of the fields.
These were always so fun. I hate that the only one people still play is highertower because the long distance is what made it so fun. I had no idea you made them tho. I wish there was a server that was just these lol
I liked being mean on servers that ran Highertower by going Engineer and running all the way to the top so I could setup a sentry nest. It was very funny whenever some poor sap had been pushing the cart for a while and got sniped by a sentry right at the top.
I can't believe this trend is as old as CP_Orange was when these came out. These were so old, that RTGame was just starting and exceeding his online career as a TFTuber with these maps. We need to make more.
Like having to maneuver to the next set of pads as you slow down, having to keep speed or take the speed penalty of having to swim to the next boost pads That would be fun
the monkey's paw that is wishing for casual to be fixed led to so many community servers dying. Valve would see TF2 live forever if they found a way to reintegrate community servers into the match queue and slowly phase out casual matchmaking (because people will fill that void with casual like servers, like uncletopia and whatnot)
Hi! I've been enjoying your "weird maps" series and they've really inspired me by showing me what *can* be made in tf2. However I've never released a map of my own. Your comments about back in 2017 resonated with me because i too was at college at the time and made me realise how like ago these maps were made and how long I've been playing tf2! I suppose my only regret in the time between then and now is the fact i never finished or even released a map. I thankfully still have all my files for every map I've started in Source so maybe one day I'll actually release a map but i do feel like the moment may have passed for the games popularity. Thank you for your content you make on RUclips about source/ tf2. I'll admit I've never played your maps properly, only on Lazy Purples silly server. But enjoying maps that way i still think Is a valid way, and making a map that i think would be fun for that type of server has definitely been a push for me to :)
i remember being there during this craze, and how funny it was that the maps that classically had players avoid the objective/servers disable them entirely would punish you for playing them. personally ill admit that i thought long well was when the trend "jumped the shark" since all of these maps were on the "WACKY X1000 RTD !GIVEITEMS LENNYBIND" type servers by that point.
Love a weird maps video before the end of the year! Also crazy since I never knew you made these long maps! I have always held your weird map series close to my heart, seeing the little secrets map makers put in their maps and you going into the history of maps. It's like seeing a part of someone's old childhood home. I'm glad you put a lot of effort into these videos, Whomobile, always bringing attention to lesser-known maps and crediting the map makers. Nobody else focuses on showing the actual talent and art that goes behind making these maps in their videos like you, so I really appreciate it whenever you make a new Weird Maps video.
13:58 I think that's the first time I've heard a song in 7/4 on a video. Is that a Final Fantasy song? I know at least one of the games had a composer who took inspiration from prog rock, namely Emerson, Lake & Palmer's _Tarkus_ , and this song sounds like it. Actually, the music selection in this video is probably one of my favorites. I've never heard any of these songs, but they itch my brain quite nicely. They also sound like video game music; what games are they from?
1:00 How do you mess up "kazotsky"? Maybe your tongue is of birds. I can empathize with that. So many companies are ruining your habitats, therefore lessening the ability for you to learn.
I don't know much about TF2 Mapping, but I most assuredly vibe with your music choice. Hearing Chomber again brought me right back to the UESC Marathon. Godspeed, Fellow VidMaster.
That is crazy that i stumbled upon these maps and the creator of said maps completely separately. Really cool to find out you made these. I spent so many hours on community servers with these maps.
Woah, I never knew you made these! It's super interesting to hear about how they were made. I've always had a deep love for weird maps and I'm glad you made a series about it. It's one of those niche things that I loved about TF2 and its nice to know someone else is as passionate about it.
Amazing video as always! Didnt even know you were behind those long 2fort and turbine maps. Its weird how you can interact with different aspects of someone's work and dont even suspect that they are made by the same person.
Man you always just ace the music aspect of your videos! Like you can afford to show the map for a good bit without talking cus the vibes are just so emaculate. Love your stuff, youre a big inspiration :)
There was a certain pain watching you go over Long Turbine as Soldier. When other players aren’t around to throw a wrench in the works, covering that much ground is painful even as Scout, let alone anyone slower. Though, your extended maps aren’t the worst for that, you kinda made Long Turbine look reasonable, actually. Think the most agonizing map to walk through that I’ve played is OOT3D: having the whole OOT overworld ported to TF2 sounds awesome until you have to actually walk through it all.
i remember a version of highertower that was twice as long, had a midsection, and had really good ambient sounds when climbing, theese long maps really feel like liminal spaces, especially if you're climbing a tower that noone else on the server is climbing
the thing about highertower is that it's best played on a x100 or x1000 server, that way you can play scout and get to the top in one jump, or play as heavy with gru or demoknight and get there much quicker, it's much harder to cap when they can just drop on you as the kart rises
Faster Tower will always be the most hillarious one to me, you get close to the cart which zooms around way too fast to then take about an entire minute to dash up the whole elevator to then explode the entire map, it's quite funny.
Miss these maps cant lie,feel like this is the peak during the 2017 to until now. A really important reason why i keep playing tf2 even after 2020 (and the youtube videos to)
I didn't know that you were responsible for those maps either. I know you more from this. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you from your work earlier, but I appreciate the videos talking about the subject. It's a very rare sight.
Yep, just like many others, I learned about these maps from Martin. Honestly, such maps just fit his silly nature quite well. Nowadays, by the way, Vorobey is one of those who now really likes to play on Highertower. Not exactly because of the map itself, more so because of the community who's playing on it (those who always climb the tower especially)
wow who wouldve known this guy made these maps and your sentiment is so real never knew the guy who made them and never knew he made multiple of them i thought they were all just made by different random people
the long orange map feels so... i cant describe it but its adjacent to "creepy" the ambient music, the nonsensicalness, its just so... idk probably feels better with other players
the elongated map meme was sure one hell of a way to change the pace of the mapping scene, and a fun time bringer too, I sure wish I could experience that same meme energy once more. now I'm wondering what is the name of the track at the end of the video, it got me captivated.
wow, i've been subbed for a while and had no clue you made these, i remember years ago watching the video ace the ocarina maker made on 2foooooooooooort
I wasn't focused when I read the notifications and thought you were a history channel, and that "Time map" is a thing, and I thought to myself "Wth is a time map??"
I remember playing on this map like turbine in 2014 but i cant remember the name. I dont think it was one of these kind of maps but idk it just sparked a memory
I always always look forward to your source map videos 🖤 It's really a shame you didn't get more recognition for the stuff you made!! I definitely think in the modern landscape of "content", creators pick up and drop things so quick that there's little sense of community anymore. They see these things as fuel for the grinder instead of works of art in their own silly way. I guarantee you if someone made a vid of your map in 2009 there would be a download link and credit given in the description at the very least. Either way, I'm so thankful for what you do/have done. Your videos always feel so warm and nice. I hope to always look forward to the smile I get when I see a notification for a new vid from you:)
I remember playing turrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbine on pubs. People would vote for it to torture the rest of the server and then we'd get stuck on it until the game timed out (not that regular turbine was any better for that).
Also, before TF2's social spaces (which arose from Idle maps), Unreal Tournament and the Quake 3 modding communities had a very similar culture. The oldest video on my channel was the soundtrack in a Nexuiz map that was just 5 jump pads in a huge vertical tube that was the maximum allowable height for a map.
Just two silly ideas if you ever consider picking up TF2 mapping again: in the middle of long 2fort you could put 2 more forts perpendicular to the others, effectively making it 4fort but long on one axis; also one thing that always disappointed me with highertower is that the only part of the track that's heightened is the lift at the end, it might be fun to make the track elevate more naturally by adding trestle bridges directly on top of the normal track so the cart repeats its normal route multiple times, getting higher and higher.
source engine is quite good with portals, i wonder if you coul set up giant portals in long doublecross to make the non long parts feel normal..... would be trippy as hell too
Oh snap, I never knew YOU made those long maps! I remember watching Serious Martin messing around on them years ago. Good times.

Wow, time really flew by-this trend certainly was something! That and those multiplier servers
really cool. turbine looks better being longer, and I agree on it would be better having like 6 of the things

They see these things as fuel for the grinder instead of works of art in their own silly way. I guarantee you if someone made a vid of your map in 2009 there would be a download link and credit given in the description at the very least.
Either way, I'm so thankful for what you do/have done. Your videos always feel so warm and nice. I hope to always look forward to the smile I get when I see a notification for a new vid from you:)
You can never have enough trains.
man i remember when we thought the gap between meet your match and jungle inferno was as bad as the update drought was going to get
in a time where maps evolved to be longer, players too, had to evolve to be longer
watched a few vids from goldsec today, and a fresh upload. Life is good.
I remember playing turrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbine on pubs. People would vote for it to torture the rest of the server and then we'd get stuck on it until the game timed out (not that regular turbine was any better for that).
Also, before TF2's social spaces (which arose from Idle maps), Unreal Tournament and the Quake 3 modding communities had a very similar culture. The oldest video on my channel was the soundtrack in a Nexuiz map that was just 5 jump pads in a huge vertical tube that was the maximum allowable height for a map.

You should complete the long doublecross! It looks cool!
Just two silly ideas if you ever consider picking up TF2 mapping again: in the middle of long 2fort you could put 2 more forts perpendicular to the others, effectively making it 4fort but long on one axis; also one thing that always disappointed me with highertower is that the only part of the track that's heightened is the lift at the end, it might be fun to make the track elevate more naturally by adding trestle bridges directly on top of the normal track so the cart repeats its normal route multiple times, getting higher and higher.
source engine is quite good with portals, i wonder if you coul set up giant portals in long doublecross to make the non long parts feel normal..... would be trippy as hell too
Novel idea- really cool to end up across the guy who made them, cheers! ^^
