Gametype: Capture the Flag

Introduction
Turbine is a Capture the Flag map by Bill Johnston that takes place within a large industrial compound. For some peculiar reason, RED and BLU are both sharing the same building while trying to brawl for each other’s intelligence in only a few key locations. This is actually my first Team Fortress 2 level review and I barely even write multiplayer related articles, so please bare with me while I get used to this!

Introduction
Ever since the return of Aymeric, his releases so far haven’t been dissappointing, and the same can easily be said for his latest release right here. Bottles to the Ground takes place within a small dark city where Duke has ran out of beer. He decides to head out and find some, while giving the aliens a major butt kicking for getting in his way. Map also comes with an excellent midi file, which fits perfectly with the map and loops really well.

Supertanker returns with a new map release, FOS Station, a short space themed level. I personally think there is a lack of space themed release these days, though I’m not that particullary bothered, it was a nice change of environment playing this.
