im kinda sad I missed most of TF2's hayday. Was never into Source stuff until I was about 17. All I really know of is bots, unchanging meta, and lack of updates. Still it's really fun and I have made a lot of friends/memories from it :)
in a way one could say never knowing what you missed is better than missing at all
@@TheLoveTrain I suppose. Though the memories I have of Minecraft's hayday are still as pleasant to me today as they were then, even though that era is long gone too. I suspect it would have been the same with TF2 and Gmod
@@TheLoveTrain The worst thing is getting in too late while expecting things to not have been changed. I gravitated towards TF2 around 2015 by looking at tons of stuff but i wasn't sure my pc was capable enough to run it(founded doubts) and i sucked with english, so when i got in 2017 i loved the experience, but i missed the things i saw. Especially sad considering that thanks to Minecraft i do know what it felt to play community servers and have fond memories of it
if that was the golden age, we're definitely in the silver age right now where there's a huge and healthy community scene.
The community around it stronger now than it has been in quite some time.
it's now come to my realization that there is a very very very good chance i played with richter unknowingly on tf2 when I was 7
Same bro I remember watching my brother play on this wacky ass map when i was like 4
but hey! that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY
@@cihloun 🗿 you said it wrong
@@creakydabomb nah, let him cook
He tried his best
I actually DID play with Richter back in 2016. Dude had a good sense of humor in the vc. Its crazy that we're both almost the same age.
back in like 2015 i was server-hopping with a friend one night. we found a server with a custom map that felt like a fever dream. there were flying bread pugs .pngs in the sky and a kinda Pyroland design (it was like Pyroland but honestly done better). we played on the server for a few hours before heading off. when we tried to play on the server again later it was gone, and i haven't been able to find anything about a server or map like that since and my memory of it has become so faded that the pugs and Pyroland-esque map design are the only key details i remember.
EDIT: it was koth_nippletwister! thank you guy who deleted their reply
Do you still have the same computer? The way Source games work is that when you download a custom map from a server, it gets added to your own maps too so that you can play it offline.
Can’t remember who uploaded it but there was a tf2 custom maps iceberg I had on in the background a while back and I seem to recall a map fitting this description
sounds like koth_nippletwister to me
@@Infomaniac_Moment holy shit thats it. i was way off on most of the details, but it has been almost 8 years.
@@highway_roadkill what
I remember playing on this map. Might have been a day but you opened up a memory long forgotten. Sad to see things go like this, but maybe this map will resurface one day for the sake of nostalgia.
Well, school reunions are kind of like that.
Lost maps are a really interesting concept to me. There's hundreds, hell, thousands of maps for Source Engine games that are just inaccessible, that were deleted from the Steam Workshop and can't be found anymore. And yet, despite that they're still most likely just sitting on someone's hard drive even to this day. Hopefully someday, more attention is given to lost maps like these and are found!
Personally, there was this MLP server I used to play on back in the day, I still have some screenshots of it on my Steam profile and I managed to find a video of it, but the maps it ran are completely lost to time. It's a bit cringy, but it's part of history, hope it gets found someday.
ua-cam.com/video/PB7vVEb4L2s/v-deo.html
And they've always been a strange case to me. Think about how many maps have gone missing that we have no idea exist
@@NicoTheCheese Lost maps have always been a strange case for me.
Yea it is so interesting. Like its something that has been deleted from the internet completely but there is a huge chance of it still existing in someone's device. Its like its still out there but dissapeared
I'm actually looking for some myself, childhood memories.
i played counter strike at a computer arcade like 20 years ago, they had a map of the place that we played on a lot. i dont remember it being particularly great or anything but there's no fucking way i'm ever finding that map again
i thought nobody else remembered this map. i still have a bunch of screenshots of it on my steam profile from 2011 when i used to hop onto it after school every day. There were like floating spawnrooms that would gradually fall onto the main tower and into the water sometimes, and a secret little trade plaza you could get to by exploring in the water. i always wondered what happened to it, seeing as it was always pretty populated back then.
surprised nobody has tried to recreate it honestly
I love the map and have so many screenshots
Servers were lotusclan
@@aggradationack of interest in the people with the skill and time to do it combined with very limited publicly available/easily found references to go off of I guess
Oh man I saw that thumbnail and I was like “I remember that map!” I spent dozens upon dozens of hours on Mana’s Super Awesome Trade Server, to the point that I remembered the name of the server before you mentioned it, after not playing on it in what must be about a decade. It felt like there was always something new to discover on the map with random ass teleports and hidden rooms.
There's actually a similar thing with a map that I'm sure a bunch of people here are familiar with by now through another certain TF2 UA-camr; trade_suncity_a16
For some baffling reason, the creators of the map made it so the server could not be used without their custom plugins, which were lost to time...Until they were remade from scratch and made to work with modern TF2 so the map could be brought back online.
Maybe something similar can be done here? Who knows.
I really wanna add it too some of my maps would tbh
We probably surrendered the goofy mods when we drifted towards competitiveness and accepted anti cheats into our lives
nah anti-cheats have almost always been there, and while competitiveness can be a factor, it's more just because of developers wanting more money for their own things and treating modders like cheaters, blocking game files from being accessed etc
mana's trade server was my favorite server to play. glad im not the only one who remembers trade phys tower.
Never seen a Lost Community Map, Feels like we're going to the TF2 Community Archives!
Anyway, Good video Overtime!
There was this one map I really remember. It was a map with a big circular center point where you could fight, and it was resembling a bottom of a well- open ceiling to the sky and rock walls. There was a spawn on each side that had the TF2 building interior style, and had glass walls that let you look into the center point.
This was a real trip down memory lane. To me the golden days of TF2 ended wtih Love and War / Halloween 2014. When Gun Mettle came wtih all the changes to the update structure (Skins, Contracts, Tiered cases, etc), things never felt the same again.
Gun mettle is such a disgusting update. Literally just shoehorning the cases from cs:go, defined tiers and all. Obnoxious quality colors for items that could just have been uniques. Then creating millions of worthless junk skins that clog the market and probably lag the item servers which the game relies on for unlock weapons.
@@ViciousVinnyD Indeed. Introducing the CSGO style weapon skins and tiered cosmetics only complicated trading 10 fold. It sounded like a good idea on paper but Valve didn't realise that TF2's economy was different from CSGO's.
Another wrinkle was also added when War Paints where introduced, more or less discontinuing the original Gun Mettle / Tough Break style fixed weapon skins, which now made the better ones from those collections extrememly expensive to get .
Thanks for this upload Richter.
There was an Australian server that ran this map 24/7, sometime during 2013-2014. Distinctly remember the insane battles that were had because of those physic towers, the secret Japanese garden area which you had to respawn to get out of, Scouts & Spies owning the staircase which leads up to the middle structure and likely my first ever proper online experience with scammers.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
Great video, warming to see new channels propping up that're carrying the Source engine fandom legacy.
Honestly I think finding out a game has so many lost maps kind of…is a good thing. Yes it’s sad, but it truly shows just how big that game was/still is.
I mean think about the original Counter-Strike, think of how many fanmade maps got made for that thing.
Omg bro I cant believe you used some of my footage in your video, it was such a great server to play on and i have multiple videos from Manas server up on my channel still
3:48 It's called a lump file btw...
I remember when I was little and seeing a sandman being replace with spongebob textures. Shit was so fun back in the day
i remember MANY maps i played in the days of HL2 Deathmatch.
There were coop maps where you mowed down hordes of HL2 Enemies, Weird "rats" deathmatch maps (like a halloween & christmas tree one) & a few other desthmatch maps that had pictures of Diggles in them for some reason, also this one house mao that really stuck in my memory. wish i could find them.
That part about mods gave me an idea for a new Gmod video I can upload. Thanks, Richter!
Probs gonna make and upload it this weekend.
Never heard of this map before or played it but it's sad to see this map is kinda impossible to play now or find because of plugins, also it's good that you brought up custom stuff man I hate that valve did that I wish you could still use custom models like the iPhone dead ringer, it's sad.
0:19 nice name
Someone named ficool2 recreated the map (to the best of their ability) and it's up on the TF2 Workshop!
Realizing Richter is my age is surreal both because it means it is more than possible we could have by chance played together back in my TF2 hayday but also because it makes me realize the next generation of cool ass content creators are already my generation.
6 years ago I played a lot of flash games.
Now, I can't remember half of them.
This is the same sort of predicament
I played on Pokemon Goldenrod Town map in a trade community, i think it was Reo’s Servers, or something.
Everyone knew each other and you’d have a lot of dumb fun, like fighting over the DJ room, or a conga line party at RED spawn. I stopped going on by high school, and earlier last year I checked the server again, which shockingly enough it was still open.
It didn’t overwhelm me, but it unlocked a lot of happy memories of coming home from school and wasting the entire day taunting at people. I checked on their discord and no-one from that time kept in touch. Sad how memories like that are so disconnected, but i’m happy for the experience
I spent hours on that map as well as many of the others you've showcased! trading plaza, idling maps, orange and airballoon race, they're almost as iconic as dustbowl and 2fort lol.
I remember map that was kinda like that
It was surf map with a lot of deathmatch and a
Secret area for snipers
No server is active with that map doe file is still available
I used to play on that map a lot around 2013 it was very popular but today it's forgotten.
holy shit the INSTANT the gameplay was shown I remembered. All at once.
God I miss the old servers.
I definitely remember this map, it's funny I was just talking about how there's no custom maps and servers anymore. And the end of the video talking about modding in general makes me sad. Crazy mods are the best part of PC gaming
there is a new source game called Military Conflict: Vietnam that runs on CS:Go source and people have been porting over other source maps from all over, like TF2 and half life deathmatch. it's seems like a return to community customization
I hope this map gets recovered and archived because I kinda want to play it.
It's on the workshop now.
@@XanderNiles can you send me a link to it?
@@kingdedede7 type the name of the map on the workshop page of TF2. Also, I believe it's in the front page of it. Can't link it here because it will be automatically detected as spam.
Age of Mythology the orignal relase had a community map called hero mythodea. It was a cross shaped map with a Well in the center. You had to destroy each others wonders, the more kills you got the more absurd the units you could spawn. It's gone, many of they old maps made for the game transferred over but this map didn't.
Just like a really wise man once said
If it's working perfectly fine don't fix it
This is what happened to the modding community of TF2 since valve changed so many stuff that custom weapons , models etc couldn't be used anymore due to the restrictions that were applied.
Oh and also Richter you should also cover Parkour Fortress
I missed out on early TF2 due to being homeless for pretty much all my childhood and teenage years. Nowadays, having my own place and being able to play the game anytime I want, it fucking sucks that there's basically nothing left for me. Casual is infested with bots, Competitive is a fucking meme that's dead 50% of the time, and infested with real players cheating the other 50% of the time, and Community Servers are a shell of what I used to see online when I couldn't play the game. I never got to experience weird maps, weird game modes like Freeze Tag and Stop That Tank, or really anything. I open the Server Browser now and what is there to play? 24/7 2fort, Dustbowl, Hightower, and trade/idle/achievement maps. Gee how fun. Sure there might occasionally be a server running something halfway interesting but chances are it's completely empty. I'm sure if I had been able to play TF2 back in the day, I'd actually love it, but goddamn this game makes me so miserable, depressed, and angry these days.
I remember a trade minecraft map where you could break the ice floor and it would lead to a secret passage. It had two spawns with sniper posts and the middle of the map had a tower. Honestly the trade minecraft maps are nostalgic, using OLD minecraft textures and all
By the thumbnail I went "huh I've never seen this map" then you showed the clip and I went "OH MY GOD I PLAYED THAT IN MIDDLESCHOOL!"
I've since graduated college. So you're not the only one with nostalgia for this map.
the entirety of "Seb's Maps Server", hosting a bunch of maps presumably made by a beginner mapper that have no prior reuploads, is now lost to time. it was a server that i loved playing on with my friends in high school in like 2019 and all the maps were pretty easy on my laptop. i miss htf_tracks_b1 a lot :(
I know a similar server that used to run events between 2011-2014 that ran a map called trade_stadium and it used a similar technique where if you loaded it on a different server it would crash.
I knew the owners though and there were rival communities trying to steal that map and use it on their own event servers
The map was extremely unique and complex so I can see why they wouldn't want just anybody to run off with the map and use it.
Mapping is an artform and you wouldn't like it if someone stole your art and profited from it.
I remember Mana’s server and this map! It was a real blast, here’s hoping it can be recovered .
THE CHURCH OF MANA, god I spent so much time on that map/server, thank you for this video. This had crossed my mind a while ago but I gave up when I couldn't get the map to run on my computer.
I didnt even know the name of this map, it was my first introduction to tf2 playing it at 3 am with my best friend while he tried to show me the ropes and one of the three trade/silly servers I used to frequent on my loaner laptop that even with lower graphics mode ran at like 13 fps on a good day. Still one of my favorite maps to play on and I loved being a turtle engie on the secret teleport under the base spawn, I had no idea it is lost lost, makes me wonder about the other two maps I played on. Really good and interesting video!
I remember a Splatoon server was DMCAd by Nintendo right after the first game came out.
i want our lips to connect richter PLEASE
the intrusive thoughts got to me but i DO NOT care anymore, richter PLEASE!
bro?
@@shelbybunny i cant stop the stream of my thoughts for MEN
You thought I'd miss the subtle little Postal 2 map muzak theme at the start of the video, did you?
I had a situation similar to this with the map achievement_factory_v2.bsp. I used to play on it a ton 10 years ago or something like that, and lost the map after years of losing old hard drives and the map creator refusing to give it out.
I asked in a few places if anyone still had it, and got no response for maybe a year. Suddenly, some random guy mentioned in my steam comments that he thought he still had it on an old computer in his basement. I waited another month until he found the time to go get on that computer, but he did end up having it and sending me a copy. First thing I did was shove it onto the few map archives online!
Map preservation is important!!
I remember the map had a lot of hidden sections. There was a huge underwater part and if you touched the ground beneath each spawn, you would teleport to an arena. Inside there there was a door to what we all called "The Alamo" which was a large wooden fort with two levels. If you died in the low-grav elevator there you would have low grav until you left the server, which made it very fun to zoom around as demoknight or soldier.
Lots of memories there, thanks for reminding me of them. I probably have 20 or so screenshots of the map if anyone wants to check them out.
The Jackhammer... man, I remember that being the first mod I installed whenever I bricked my OS back in the day. I gotta reinstall TF2 now and set up a server to try and recapture some of this nostalgia...
i remember playing on a version of mariokart. it had a big nuke, two big blimps, and some mario things. you CAN play it, although alone i think.
i remember the very first time i joined a custom server. it was achievement_engineer back in like... 2012? absolutely wild. still remember to this day. the section at the end was also very resonant; the gaming industry as a whole has seen less of an emphasis on player-created content, and i think the games you showcased (cod waw, skyrim, source engine games) represent the pinnacle of user freedom, and an era we can one day hopefully return to.
i think the key is that the tools required to make content for games used to be open and free to access, like IWengine or source or the creation engine and what have you, whereas nowadays games are few and far between that allow substantive user modification.
I remember playing on ctf_outset Island, not so long ago (I think it was 2018?), and I was so sad to see that noone is hosting the map anymore😔. Shame, I really had fun playing there...
for me tf2 is just a reminder of how much better things used to be
with each new year becoming more unbearable than the last

phys tower holy shit what a throwback, i remember all the secret rooms this had, but more importantly i remember sniping the pillars with the machine to try and get them to fall
Its crazy just how recently team portress crossed my mind again after seeing the originsl video 10 years ago ONLY for Richter to randomly mention it in a video
Sad to hear its gone, i would have loved to give it a shot
i played on this map not long ago actually, not sure what server it was at the time but it was certainly recent.
2:01 plugging this link in the web archive showed a single backup from 2021, and the file downloaded without issues. (tho im too lazy to find if it loads in TF2 or not, you can try)
ALWAYS check web archive when finding a broken link/image/whatever, it almost always has at least a single backup.
EDIT: I decided to test it, yea, it doesn't load and crashes the game. however at least its a step closer to figuring out how to run it, since we have the map file now.
also one of the solutions you could try, is finding an old version of TF2 from around the time period when the map worked, it might be something in tf2's code breaking it (even if its unlikely)
i like the fact that you're using postal 2 map muzak in normal videos so much
Man.... I remember this map in the Golden age of tf2. Never played competitive, just hung out on trade servers and chatted with people and heavy boxed.
Had an old map i used to play on, a minecraft trade server map (i know), that was used specifically on a server called Sleeping Knights, never been able to track it down since the servers shut down a few years back, the steam group does remain.
6:32 I'm not entirely sure "when", it feels like a problem that became the most glaring in the past couple of years, but I do know that the "how" isn't entirely our fault. A lot of games nowadays make modding impossible, some devs patch it out, and sometimes devs sue the mod makers. You would think "Yeah sure alright" to competitive multiplayer games, but many casual multiplayer, single player, or PvE experiences also have this problem. This could be an engine problem, I know many Unreal Engine 4 and Unity games are a coinflip if you can mod them or not and some Triple A games are on custom built game engines. It could also be a monetization problem, because "why pretend to be Master Chief while you're the only one that can see him when you can spend real money for the real deal?" Its still disappointing seeing not only the inability to mod recent games but the outright hostility (Mostly Triple A) devs have towards modding their games.
I thank Samwiz everyday for bring the trade_suncity dream alive and him restoring it. Days of years ago spent on that are cherished and the days now can be sent reliving those days on his suncity server.
I still dearly miss Randomizer Arena, really was the best randomizer server in the entirety of TF2 with a well coded and up-to-date plugin and quality arena maps.
4:30 I had that exact computer that this model was based on in like 2000.
Anyway, yeah, you're right. TF2 is one of the last community accessible games. New games like Fortnite are 100% a curated experience dictated from above. The era of triple A fps games you could pick apart and have fun with modding are pretty much over.
We will not always have TF2. At the moment, this old 32-bit DirectX 9 monstrosity is still working, but that won't always be the case. Newer video cards like Intel Arc are already removing dedicated support for DX9 and moving to a mapping layer instead. That's why I hope someday TF2 will be an open source release, since then at least in theory the community could work on keeping it running forever.
Somebody uploaded the entire fixed map onto the tf2 workshop.
this unfortunately happened to me with a version of mario kart that had specific maps details like a bar. i cant find it to this day, and that really sucks :(
Cyberpunk map, with DVNO and I think Daft Punk's Robot Rock music on it. I have fond memories of that map, along with Balloon Race and the Wacky Racers (basically car version of balloon race.)
I recently saw that glorious bright yellow Cyberpunk map on Pavlov a few weeks back and got hit with massive TF2 nostalgia. Sadly the map changed before I really got to play it with anyone.
Side note, I think the Cyberpunk map also had No More Heros main theme on it. Been a long time though so.
There’s a lot of custom maps that I used to play on.I get disappointed whenever I launch TF2 and see that community servers and community maps have dwindled to what they are today.
Vscript might finally spark that flame again, maybe, just maybe...
Modding has taken a backseat as companies get scared that players would be able to do a just as if not better job than them at creating content. They don't want to lose potential money because some dude named KirbyMan76 made a mod that adds a feature they were working on and have people clown on them for it. That said, it's not all doom and gloom, it's just that Source games were modable to a massive extent that wasn't even common back then, and there are still modding communities out there, although usually for more niche games.
There is some hope for custom TF2 stuff still, a quite recent one actually - the addition of Vscript, which allows for much more powerful custom map logic, without the need for complex server plugin setups (meaning such custom maps and gamemodes could even run on Valve's own servers if they bring in stuff from the Workshop that might make use of this tech).
Now, community servers are still a lot less popular now than they used to be, and Vscript is a very new addition so there isn't a lot that's making good use of it yet, but it's certainly a very promising long-term addition (especially given that all we otherwise get at this point is bugfixes, cosmetics, and seasonal maps).
I remember so many maps from my childhood. The servers I would play in might be gone now, but at least I can download them off Gamebanana. There are some I haven't found yet, like this one map on a trade server where the spawns were right around this square-shaped arena of wooden platforms. There were a bunch of skyscrapers above the spawn, so anyone with the vertical mobility can take their fights somewhere less crowded or just chill up there. There was also an "easter egg" that could only be accessed with RTD(noclip), which would spawn Gman repeating the monologue from the end of Half Life 2, before ending the round in a stalemate. I think that map may have been made specifically for the trade server. I'm not sure why I think that, but I can't find it, so I'll probably never know.
There's this one highertower server that has no bounds
For all i know, you can play it only one one server and if it disappeared, ibwoukd be pretty sad, because i met a lot of people there and spent a lot of time and got better in TF2 there
I've got a few instances of remembered lost media that I know just doesn't exist anymore too, man.
It's.. Hard...
While its not a custom map lost to time back in 2011/2012 I remember this server that was GM Bigcity and was essentially a gmod recreation in TF2. My memory of it now is very vivid but I had some really fun times on it just messing around doing cool shit and being able to do things like having a rocket launcher as the Pyro and a another custom server back in 2015 I think? pretty much let you play as the robots in MvM and god that was so much freaking fun.
this map was one of my most played maps back in the day i always wondered where it went
i got into tf2 when i was about 12 maybe, i dont remember but it has been about 4 years and i want to see what the modding community for tf2 was like in its peak
God dude I miss when moding was big in games, I remember playing all these TF2, L4D, and HL mods when I was little and now that’s no more sadly
5CP_Orange_Asylum. The map that I meet most of my friends I have today. Wouldn't have made all those 9 year's-worth of memories without that server than ran it.
I miss the old community servers...
Some of my first games in TF2 were on Mario Kart, Wal-Mart, the old Zombie game mode, Balloon race.
It's been too long since I have played on those maps....
I remember watching balloon race as a kid, and haven’t found a server with enough players.
Even when people host those old school servers, no one joins and when they do they complain that its not the vanilla game
This is unfortunately very common, a lot of community maps are most to time. There was 2 servers that I was a regular player of, each ran it's own map 24/7 and I had so much fun for years. Until I went to another city for college and stopped playing tf2 for a good 4 years and for the life of me I can't find this servers again.
i used to play on a server than only hosted the 5cp map lazytown and the games would go on for hours and hours never ending, good memories with those people
deathrun and saxton hale servers 3 years ago was so different. The people in those servers was like your real life friends. I remember dying out of laughter in a deathrun server where there was like 8 players who were hanging around,joking with eachother. Good old times that is impossible to brought back. Now we have a guy who spams in the chat SPY AMOGUS
I remember logging on to these TF2 slender servers back in 2012 where red would get put into a slender style map with a monster and had to collect pages, with blu basically being used as the team where dead players go. Iirc the servers are still up (albeit the amount of them probably went down) but there's one particular super cramped map I remember playing on that had 3 floors, the ground floor had the area you'd spawn in on, to the left was a small warehouse area and on the right you had stairs going up and down to the other 2 floors. The bottom floor was this server basement area with some desks while the upper floor had some separate office rooms you could go into. The only reason I remember this map at all is because I had drawn a top down view of each floor with a pencil and paper trying to map it out, unfortunately the map I'm talking about must've been lost to time because it's not on any of the still existing server's map rotations afaik, and I lost the pencil drawn version some time ago so downloading hammer and re-creating the map accurately is sadly an impossibility.
05:17 Holy shit. This may be off-topic but iRinger literally unlocked one of my memories. Thanks.
awesome vid, really hope someone out there can decompile the map fix it to run without the plugin
Was a 2013 TF2’er. Not too late but not the earliest either. But it was definitely during the hay day or at least some of it perhaps. A lot of good memories to be made, Saxxy Awards in Source too! Time going by is such an enemy to the generation. :(
That death of modding thing hit hard, I grew up playing on tf2 modded servers, cs1.6 and css modded servers, zombie master, zombie panic source, garry's mod, etc. It had to die sometime around 2014 or atleast begin it's decline. Theres alot I think has to do with it. Always online games with nothing set up for community servers. Monetization with stuff like creation club or people locking their mods behind paywalls for gmod servers, like every dork on nexus copyrighting mods or gatekeeping people from modding their mods. Why do it for free when bethesda can sell the mod for you. Also game's just don't seem modder friendly anymore, theres that lack of tools or if you are making new content that isn't a joke you gotta match the look of the game or it just stands out bad. I can see zero experience people having no issues at all modding something like stalker soc a billion years ago and having no issues making something from scratch that fits somewhat, now imagine that with something like stalker 2, nobody that hasn't already been doing this stuff forever is going to be able to add new content, it's only going to be property edits and thats mostly it.
The last time I played this map was probably back in 2014 on Lazypurple's Silly Server.
Man I remember the good old days of source anything. In all fairness I was only around near the tail end (as I tend to be with alot of community spaces. I started on the internet during the glory days of new grounds) but man was it a hell of a lot of fun.
I remember old school minecraft channels like paulsaursjr and the yogscast. How those minecraft videos were my introduction to gmod content which of course opened the flood gates.
I remember taking a long hiatus from those old games some time around 2015 which is around the time the golden dies finally died out so I missed out on some of the bigger updates, didn't even know about TF2's bot problem or lack of updates until 2 years after jungle inferno which I wasn't around for.
Playing Gmod, TF2, l4d2 during those days was fucking heaven man. A bunch of people I'll never meet again. A bunch if servers I'll never be able to load up again.
For those looking for absurd modding I have a few games I mod myself
Carrier command 2:very young modding community which I’ve done a lot of spearheading in, good stuff, lots of cooky things I made
Halo wars:old Xbox rts game with an active and crazy modding community
