I don't care much for the custom maps, except the orange ones.

Bigfoot, trust me, you're missing out on some gems.
I don't remember if I played steel or not, can you describe it?

Huge map. Uhhh... 5 points, A-E, you can attack E at any time, but capping A-D makes it easier to cap E. A is a bit of a hill with a biggish cap point, B is like a raised area protected on 2 sides by a barrier, C is next to a bridge, D is inside. E is across a large chasm, under a rocket

I've played a bit of steel, its alright but not great IMO.

Ah yes, interesting map. Not bad, could be tweaked a bit though.
Anyone played Oil Rig? Its got a zillion passages, half of which are half-circles and are rather pointless. If those were fixed though it would be an even better map.

Well, now that I think about it, toy fort was great, as well as desert fortress. Almost all the orange ones are very good. But others, like mario kart, are just very bad, or at most 2 flags.

The only custom map I like it ctf_turbine. All the others I played made me turn off the do not download custom content filter.

Ugh, turbine. It's an okay map but I HATE it when it has more than 16 people playing and more than 1 sentry gun per side.
Actualy that's the same for any CTF map.
For custom maps, you just have to find a good server. The one I play on usually has good custom maps, occaisionaly a new map isn't that great but it's removed if it's not popular.
The Orange X v6 map is a bit rubbish really. The overhead ramp and the dispensers everywhere make engineers and heavies a lot less useful as they can't hide.

Thanks for posting that J. I just wish the update wasn't right on top of my last final exam.

I'll be a total lamer and camp in an achievement box if the unlocks make the pyro playable in 6v6. The axtinghuisher isn't worth it though, hopefully the melee weapon is the last unlock (like it was with the medic).

The next big update has been released.
The flare gun is the first unlock, and it looks to be the coolest. As for the new maps, I'm sure a lot of you are saying who cares, I played those anyway.

I'vep layed turbine, I don't like it when it has sentries and/or more than 12 people.

Turbine is the standard ctf map, half the people fighting in the middle, the rest camping with the sentries on/near the intel.

Well, what about fastlane?

Dunno, I've never played it.

The pyro achievements are much easiser than the medic ones were. You also don't need every last one of them to get all 3 new weapons. I have the flare gun, which is really good, and the backburner, which I guess is neat but I don't use because I like the airburst too much.

Having not been able to play while I download two games I bought off steam (even when paused, my ping excedes 300-400), what is the air burst?
