Really though, it should. I used to play on it quite a bit on a server dedicated just to it. Had quite a bit of memorable moments from that server. There isn't really anything like it out there, at least not that I've seen.
2f2f_directional_dinosaurs_a1 was made by me (Acegikmo) a hecking long time ago! I have no idea how you even found it~ It was part a map just for the sake of being weird and playful, but I also wanted to test the mechanic of having a split centerpoint to see how that would play out gameplay-wise, as I was actually making serious maps at the same time! (pl_repository, cp_glacier) also I'm sorry to say there is indeed no new version of directional dinos coming out :(
Hey, I'm a moderator of a server that runs this map! This would be the Lazypurple servers. One of our admins actually made a couple of updates to it to fit our servers; if you're curious I might be able to put you in touch with him?
Oh dude. I remember playing on Convoy and a nighttime variant of Lazytown way back when community servers were all there was. Hell, I even thought Convoy was an official map for a short while after first playing it!
you made a video about how func_rotate doesn't work and then, 11 years after it was broken, it finally gets fixed just in time to make your video slightly inaccurate. ouch
four. four people who didn't understand the fact that edfreak wasn't pointing out the fact that it was fixed, rather pointing out the inconvenient timing of the fix.
I can just hear the convoy intro in my head; "This scenario is a recreation of the recovery of the NEXUS prototype missiles by the NEG Military, after they were stolen by the hellions." that announcer has/had such a cool pointed voice.
Its bizarre to see someone talk about these maps as if they where relics as I recall playing A LOT of these and a bunch of them in beta forms. 2F2F used to run a bunch of these and still do if the server is still up just no one plays on them anymore some map called wub wub is possibly worth a look at being one of the most non TF2 feeling custom TF2 maps IMO
Would love to see a MvM version of convoy, hell you could make the story be you stole gray Manns intelligence and now he’s try to get it back. Maybe after like 3 or 4 rounds he try’s to destroy the convoy because he realizes he can’t get it back and better gone than in your hands
Wow, as an old 2f2f member its nice seeing you tried to look into the history of our old server for this video. I miss that server and those guys dearly but I have some great memories over the years while it was a huge part of my life.
Havent played for a few months but the capslock lazytown server was always at the top of the browser for atleast the last two years, it was somehow always active, and it did not seem like bots. And the slide map seems to take heavy inspiration from the countless CSS slide maps. great content!
Convoy is based on a css map called train or something similar. They seem to have just retextured it into tf2. It was a very popular map in the old minigames servers but now not many people play it.
I used to go to a private community server where we played convoy from time to time. I didn't like it at the time but compared to the other ctf maps in the game its definitely one of the most interesting ones albeit a little chokey at places. Miss that server.
I remember playing a copy of unreal tournament's convoy map in zombie escape on counter strike source. It sucks that game mode is dead because I have some fond memories of it.
Similar maps to Convoy ( Unreal Tournament is one example) have appeared in other games. There is a market for this kind of map it should become official.
Hey Whomobile, your videos have been very inspiring to me. I've been playing TF2 for 5 years now and watching your map videos have been very nostalgic. I have even went into map making, and am currently making something interesting. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work!
It's not impossible since Lazytown started airing in 2004, but I don't think it really got popular for a while outside of it's demographic and from what i've seen of the show the map doesn't really have anything to do with it in design or anything. It's probably just meant to say "this is kind of a lazy map design"
mate, slide maps are the shizz my guy. If you look at any minigames maps there is always a slider, they are their own type not the precursor to surf. Surf was created by accident when a guy made a rooftop map and made the roof too steep for people to stand on. You don't need to be low ping either, you just have to press the keys that much earlier. It's really good getting into a server with a bunch of hard slider maps and people who are really skilled.
4:07 This Convoy CTF map was inspired by the assault map of Unreal Tournament 2004, since this is all about the Hellions, who stole the N.E.X.U.S. missiles until a team of attackers were sent to recover the missiles while the team of defenders must stop them when if the mission was completed. When the attackers have successfully secured the N.E.X.U.S. missiles or the defenders had successfully prevent the attackers from getting the missiles back to where they belonged to the N.E.X.U.S. "This scenario is a recreation of the recovery of the Nexus prototype missiles by the N.E.G. military, after they were stolen by the Hellions. N.E.G. forces pinpointed the location of the cache due to a hidden homing device on these devastating weapons of mass destruction. The exact location of the missiles could only be pinpointed during the short period when they were being transferred from one location to another above ground on Taro, and the military had no choice but to strike at this time.." -UT2004 map description from Liandri Beyond Unreal archives or in Unreal Fandom Wikia page.
Convoy holds a special place in my heart. Not because I played on it particularly much or anything, I barely have 260 hours or so in TF2 in total. But I'm the guy who uploaded it to the TF2 workshop. I remember waking up the next day and seeing it was the most popular map of the week. Then the month. Then it became the most subscribed map of all time for a few years. Even now it's only beaten by tr_walkway. I obviously barely deserve any praise for just uploading a map I didn't make, but it really makes me happy seeing how many people enjoyed it, how many people thanked me for reminding them of its existence and others for me introducing them to it. I wonder if Jahrain knows how popular the map still is. I hope he does.
Love your videos mate, I always was interested in making maps for source games but the furthest I got was making my childhood apartment (back in 2009ish) for L4D2 and a room with some fake DMM cause I thought fake DMM would be dope and now we have it in games like R6 Siege.
I’m gonna keep commenting until you make a video on my server >:) We have gotten bots to work on ALMOST every single map we run, including maps that should be otherwise incompatible with them completely.
Oh man, convoy... that map was fucking awesome. Anyone remember team GRN? They’re what introduced me to that map. Legitimately one of my favorite maps ever made.
if i ever get the mapping knowledge, i might try and redo convoy for different gamemodes like KOTH or payload race but i know with my dumbass that's probably not gonna happen
2:12 I know all about Nipper. When it comes to the strangest of strange maps in Garry’s Mod, Nipper reigns supreme. If you are a weirdo and a fan of trippy and strange maps (like myself) I suggest you check out his G-Mod stuff.
Any of you guys remember that one tf2 mvm server in like 2012 where all the character models were nude versions of the characters that had wee wees showing that they actually had physics for it
@@Whomobile it was a very lewd tf2 server that I came across while looking for nvm servers and the character models had like physics for their junks so you just see players jumping around and stuff I didn't stay on there that long cause I was still a pure child
Convoy reminds me of a old Roblox game except it was on 2 trains and similar to TF2 there was a blue train and a red train, I don't think there was a goal I think you sort of just killed the other team
Convoy is actually a TF2 reimagining of a map from UT 2004, which was ALSO called Convoy. I believe that's where the music came from. ruclips.net/video/hpMfgmpwBrQ/видео.html
Convoy actually like a legit map to play on.
There is a VSH version. I think it uses the original map, with a couple edits to make it more usable for vsh.
It is a legit concept for a map, not a weird one.
Trade, achievement maps can be weird.
Sometimes I actually forget that it’s not a legit map
If only valve added it to the game
green of tree black of blue yeah it’s actually pretty good
Convoy should become an official map, its amazing and so unique
Really though, it should.
I used to play on it quite a bit on a server dedicated just to it. Had quite a bit of memorable moments from that server.
There isn't really anything like it out there, at least not that I've seen.
Nah, it's a sentry heaven, needs updates and is death now
it was my favorite map to play on UT2004, it really should be official especially since it’s been in the community for over 10 years now
@@ZER-cr4dm so your saying it need a update THEN it should become an official map,
I'd also add some other cars that move around, maybe make all the cars vibrate and shift slightly to add to the illusion of movement.
I played an actual game of Convoy once, it was really fun and I forgot it was a community map.
I feel like Convoy, if it were tweaked a little, could be an official map
This aged very well

Ah... The convoy map, that bring some Unreal Tournament memories
True. Hated assault mode, but this map... it's just something else
action half life had a 1 train version of that map ahl_train
After I saw the thumbnail I went looking for a comment about UT lol
Convoy is not a weird map. There's a few 24/7 servers for it. It's playable and not difficult to understand.
Are those servers still around?
That's not what "weird" means. It's not a bad thing.
yooo dude i remeber playing it on Team Fortress 2 Classic
I can just hear the convoy intro in my head;
"This scenario is a recreation of the recovery of the NEXUS prototype missiles by the NEG Military, after they were stolen by the hellions." that announcer has/had such a cool pointed voice.
Ah man.. The memories.
I still play the UT 2004 from time to time
I want a version of ctf_Convoy where the song "Convoy" (that one song about convoying) plays infinitely
Hell yeah
The one by CW McCall?
@@Dankster-yo8xv yup!
apologies about the funky audio again! hopefully next video the audio will be more consistent now holiday madness is almost over.

I actually didnt know Convoy was a community map. I played it a lot before the matchmaking system
Convoy was an absolute staple of my days playing tf2 circa 2011. May as well have been an official map for us.
Its bizarre to see someone talk about these maps as if they where relics as I recall playing A LOT of these and a bunch of them in beta forms. 2F2F used to run a bunch of these and still do if the server is still up just no one plays on them anymore some map called wub wub is possibly worth a look at being one of the most non TF2 feeling custom TF2 maps IMO

There is sort of a convoy map. It's machine attacks ep3
4:11 I FUCKING loved that map in UT2004, that tf2 version is way too cool!
Wow, as an old 2f2f member its nice seeing you tried to look into the history of our old server for this video. I miss that server and those guys dearly but I have some great memories over the years while it was a huge part of my life.
I remember playing most of these on 2f2f, funny how it's a relic of the pre-matchmaking days, but died before matchmaking.

Any links
The rotating wall in the control point at 7:00 is a neat design
I actually want convoy in Valve’s official map pool, it’s a super cool idea. However I think it’d work better as a CP map. Wouldn’t mind CTF tho.
there IS a CP variant of it.
Hunter 495 nice!
2:16 the Nipper map on the left.

4:04 It's almost as if Quake was both the origin to basically everything Source and the origin of basically everything 3d gaming.
DUDE you just awakened some long forgotten memories when you mentioned Lazytown, I remember playing that map an eternity ago when I was just a kid
I've always wondered, does Lazytown have anything to do with the television show of the same name?
It's not impossible since Lazytown started airing in 2004, but I don't think it really got popular for a while outside of it's demographic and from what i've seen of the show the map doesn't really have anything to do with it in design or anything.
It's probably just meant to say "this is kind of a lazy map design"
Like the SFM; Lazy Mountain
Woaaaaah honestly feels like a modern art piece, it *fascinates* me.

I absolutely love this series. Awesome stuff
Oh my gosh I remember finding convoy playing jazztronauts on gmod
Convoy is an awesome map, easily in my top-10 TF2 maps of all time.
I still play cp_lazytown, i didnt knew it was that old, the map isnt perfect but its still lots of fun
Love your videos mate, I always was interested in making maps for source games but the furthest I got was making my childhood apartment (back in 2009ish) for L4D2 and a room with some fake DMM cause I thought fake DMM would be dope and now we have it in games like R6 Siege.
Convoy was my favorite map when I actively played TF2.
Convoy is super fun. I like how i have to lead any rocket shots
Cp_lazytown was my favorite map ever!
I miss when there were tons of community servers compared to the current few hundred. all the current servers run the same maps pretty much too.
The UT map Convoy had a great soundtrack
Convoy is amazin
Hammer was one of the most user friendly mapping software for people learning how to edit games that I've ever used.
You got regular names like "Falling", "Convoy", "Lazytown", and then there's *2f2f_directional_dinosaurs_a1*
Rest in Peace, Fugworld and the convoy server.
hi, im late, but mvm was actually teased on maps WAAAAAAAY before the mode released, so that may be why falling had mvm stuff
I really, really want 2f2f_direction_dinosaurs_a1. For uh.. personal reasons.
2fort2furious was the greatest server of all time, and nothing will ever top it.
I’m gonna keep commenting until you make a video on my server >:)
We have gotten bots to work on ALMOST every single map we run, including maps that should be otherwise incompatible with them completely.
Lazytown map is being heavily played still on a server called Lazytown, owned by a group called Lazytown Nutters.
That Convoy song was made by Charlie Clouser? The guy behind the Saw theme/soundtracks?

Looks like a nice tech demo.
You should do an interview with the creator of Convoy like you did with Turbine.
God I remember playing on Convoy all the fucking time, hell of a map. Shoutouts to FuG's Convoy servers, the best I ever played on.
I think the WHOAAAAAA can cause Vertigo (Feeling like the world around you is spinning causing diziness or vomitting)
I miss 2f2f. It was a hell of an experience every time you joined.
i have directional dinosaurs now, rest easy knowing the funny spinning dinosaur map isn't lost
Convoy was always my favorite Assault map in UT2004.
