New maps are welcome but I wish Valve would release new maps from their own company instead.

My thought too, we need more maps! pretty much the only thing killing it for me, I am sick of the same maps over and over and over, yes I know there are user created maps but I only play official maps. I think they should do a contest like they did for DM.

Well, there would be no dialog or monologue in such a video - or at least, not an intelligible one.

Two new user-created maps? Hmmmm, well, since Valve is distributing these two user-created maps does that mean they are "official" TF2 maps? New maps are welcome but I wish Valve would release new maps from their own company instead.

I'm sorry to inform the general public that vaccines DO NOT bestow upon thee eternal life. If you're around the age of 80 you need to be making your peace with God or the easter bunny. Whichever you believe in.

Don't count your patches until they're released. Or something.
They still have three days to delay it.
