Cartographer's Lament

A tribute to the mapmakers of TF2, in-house and community alike. Especially to the spots that seem to have been toiled upon but ignored by most. I tell you what, I was blown away by the one dustbowl shot when I captured it, I never even noticed it in all my years of playing.

NOTHING HAPPENS. HOW IS THIS DRAMATIC

[hollohill]

@layzergun I very loosely chose what categories to submit this to, As to how it got this far in the "dramatic" category, your guess is as good as mine.

[aussieh007]

The whole contest is based around combat and combatants film making

[hollohill]

@aussieh007 Well I guess we'll see what happens when they announce the winners. I'm not saying I'll win or anything, just that I'm genuinely curious to know if I even COULD win.

title of song? really works well with the scenery

[hollohill]

@ShadowSentinel Beethoven's Symphony 7 Allegretto

gave my vote; people have altogether forgotten tf2's great art style

[15GamingGuy]

I didn't recognise some of those maps. And i am a regular TF2 gamer. Did you just use strange shots or something?

[ShikogoFox]

I'm still sad this hasn't won. I like it so much, I dug it out months after the contest just to watch it again.

[sounnikoura]

how come this hasn't won

[Corvastus]

I voted for this vid in every category it appeared in.

[bodo635]

TF2 is perfect graphically.

[Ichor43]

@layzergun Because this video has to have explosions every 5 seconds and contain mountains of gore and blood to be moving right?

[Bes7iA]

this one definately deserves to win, it is really beautyfull, it make me realize how awesome the artwork here is, for a ton of us this was an instant win

[GrassDragon]

Honestly, I wish this one had won something. It made me look at the maps all over again, and the maps are a huge part of what makes this game special.

[Tr0tim]

Hasn't won any Saxxy award. Too bad... guess it figures though, most people don't care about the art style or aesthetics at all anymore

[HazzardousEco]

I really like how the focus is on the maps themselves. Sure most focus on the combat, but something about this entry makes it very unique from the others. I'm really hoping this wins at least one Saxxy...
