I've been looking on the workshop and it's pissing me off that maps like these are getting the spotlight instead of good, legitimate ones.
I mean, it was funny for a sec, but the joke was quickly run into the ground.
What will they do next, ctf_well with even more trainyards to run through?

I'll never understand why when a big name map maker makes a joke map it's hailed as the best thing ever, but when a rando makes a joke map it's a waste of space on the [I]workshop[/I] of all things.

Is it really that surprising that people want something unique, goofy and fun? As opposed to your typical serious-toned map in a decade old game that's already chock-full of those?
I'm literally reinstalling TF2 just to play this map.

Note how I said that "it was funny for a sec". When there's 1-2 of these kind of maps on the workshop they have their novelty, but I feel that people have started going overboard with the amount of them flooding the workshop.
I should also add that I think most of these joke maps overall don't have much going for them unlike something like Trainsawlaser.

Hard for legitimate maps to be a thing of interest to the workshop community, when none of them are going to end up being played due to the way valve handled community servers.

[URL="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=873248180&searchtext="]Stuff like this is amazing[/URL], but it sucks that theres no feasible way to play it, because community servers are good as dead, and valve shows no intent on offering a way to help.
Meanwhile you can just download ctf_2fort2furious, and just load it in a single player server and just have a quick laugh.
There's also Dustbowl but everything tries to kill you

Yeah, good point, actually.
It certainly doesn't help that the majority of community servers that [I]do[/I] exist are just stuff like VSH/Prophunt/Deathrun/etc.
Where can I find the server(s) for this anyways? what is the map name

For what it's worth, Dewm, and many other maps on the Workshop, spawn frequently from the [url=https://tf2maps.net/]TF2Maps.net forums and servers.[/url] With US and EU servers, we do near-daily tests of several maps in varying stages of development. A lot of the more "serious-toned" maps started there in one form or another - in fact, two thirds of the 30 Top Rated Maps of All Time on the Workshop hail from TF2M.
It is disheartening a bit though when the Maps section is flooded with the joke maps that are done in a small amount of time. A lot of the solid submissions to the Workshop take [i]months[/i] to refine and prepare for a point where its presentable on the Workshop, and the abundance joke maps has definitely made some people feel like they shouldn't submit a legitimate one at this time out of fear of being drowned out. While yes, none of the joke maps have had the lasting appeal of more legitimate maps, it's worth noting that once something is submitted to the Workshop, it really only has a week to make a solid first impression and gain traction on the Workshop. And it's hard to gain traction when the Workshop is flooded with something else entirely.
I'm sure the joke maps can be fun for some, but keep in mind that before this point, there was a clear distinction between how the Workshop is handled maps-wise and something like say, Gamebanana.
This is my fault, I made turrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbine for april fool's based on a comment I saw in a video for for that 50 story tall orange map, a lot of people asked me to make a 2fort version so I did. After that a lot of people made copycat maps of varying quality and flooded the workshop, I felt pretty shity about that and made weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell as a final thing because I don't want to be known as "the stretched out meme map guy".

Eh I've thrown this on my server along with a load of other wacky map and plugins that let you build infinite sentries and turn rockets into birds
