TF2 Maps (Actual Size)

Maps, maps, we are the maps. Celebrateanadabada birthday bash. Anyway, this is a half story-time, half Fun Fact video about the size of TF2 maps (or at least the size that actually matters).

AMENDMENTS:
(04/06/2018) Updated the size of Enclosure from 48.446 to 41.0497. Pazer discovered that the nav flood had extended into an inaccessible area by accident. Still the biggest map, but not by as much as previously thought.
(04/07/2018) The conversion rates from kHu² to real life measurements are incorrect; here is a list of every map, along with their averages in km² (data provided by @the_link_crafte on Twitter): pastebin.com/rwXevdPs

Before you ask, yes I'm going to be making a video about the Short Circuit since it was updated last week to be a freakin Mega Man gun. Uploading that video will take some time since I'm waiting on a few possible bug fixes and generally just getting a good feel for how to use it effectively, so thanks for your patience. Hopefully this video holds ya'll over in the meantime. :)

It's certainly a lot more elegant than manually measuring areas in Hammer.

[@tannerman6851]

"Dumb Idea" It's not a dumb idea. I honestly never thought of using the script commands. I recorded a bot I scripted to run around the maps playable areas barrier recording the amount of steps and space between such steps along with the possibility feet varying space placement. I created the odd formula of, (S ÷ 2) × B() = A The () was implemented incase of foot variance, I could take how ever many variances subtracted from the total S (Steps) and had their own formula and either time up or down depending upon variance. Even then, the bot had true troubles running off of my potatoe of a computer and what was quiet simply, a horrible slapped together script. The bot also had issues with going off of the cliff as shown, it is a playable area, making it restart it's entire path. Flooding the map would've been twenty times easier than having a bot run around. Then again, the bot running around did give me a good laugh as the program began to freak out and the head began to appear in his crotch.

Thundermountain and Enclosure are "super sized"

[@mip0]

I really like your honesty, when you say things like: "what I would call their 'actual sizes'" (1:45) and "it would still be bigger than dustbowl _in_ _terms_ _of_ _playable_ _surface_ _area_ " (9:17) There's so much sloppiness with definitions, and some people even use it for deception. Liked and subscribed! Also, how about this measure: The minimum number of characters (or cameras) you would need to place for every playable-area-pixel to be in line-of-sight of at least one of them. E.g. for a square map with an empty single room building in the middle, you would need three: Two at opposing corners of the house, and one inside. This could to some extent solve the problem of big open useless spaces making a map bigger. A computationally heavy brute force way of doing it would be to put stationary enemies everywhere, and see how many sentries you would need to put down to hit all of them. Where enemies everywhere would mean, say, one per square Hu, on a uniform grid. Obviously there must be a better way of doing it that doesn't use the game but works with the map files directly, I just wanted to be constructive.

[@sgtcrwhips4367]

But i dont get it, its one of tf2s most profitable things

[@bobbyferg9173]

Sgt Crwhips Eh not too sure about that as the mainly profitable thing about MvM is the tickets and since people need a lot of them to get what they want (a chance at an Australium) the people who would usually be buying these things are the Whales and they are almost guaranteed to buy things. Plus the money from people buying keys and taunts from the creates from updates is more than enough money for the work valve does compared if they attempt to work on the massive under taking of MvM.

[@sgtcrwhips4367]

Yes, that is true, but its one of the most played gamemodes, and they showed some intesrest in it, as the Titanium Tank Tour presented

[@bobbyferg9173]

Sgt Crwhips Not too sure about that either, I mean sure there are plenty of servers where a bunch of F2Ps are running around but the Mann up servers are usually empty or have long queue times.

Hey Uncle Dane when are you gonna measure the Engineer's size like Matpat did with Luigi?

[@PokefanGuquizUjixyz]

His stuff used to be invincible.

[@bobbyferg9173]

Pokémaniac Guquiz Actually the reason he couldn’t take damage in his crotch region is because the Engineer has balls of steel that reflect all pathetic bullets.

[@PokefanGuquizUjixyz]

Who said it was only his balls?

[@ThePteropterus]

Pyro is Ness.

[@bobbyferg9173]

Pokémaniac Guquiz I mean the Engineer is known for being good at erecting things.

[@hobbokin706]

Uncle Dane is confirmed to be T H I C C.

[@Intrafacial86]

Coming back to this, I think another useful statistic to measure would’ve been distance between objective points, including spawn rooms.

Hey Dane! I do not know if you'll ever see this from the barrage of comments you get, but I just wanted to tell you that its good to see you doing well with youtube and finding yourself a whole new audience. Thank you for all the years of entertainment. ps. still waiting for the ep3 of The Wacky Dane Show

[@Revvie99]

I saw you worked with Mumkey Jones and I have a newfound respect for you

[@jackthidsouvan7950]

Love the videos

[@bobbyferg9173]

I mean, I always knew that the older maps were generally smaller, but even though I dislike and even hate some of those maps, you have to appreciate all the tricks they do to make these small maps feel much bigger and allow for longer games (even though it is chokepoint hell sometimes)

So, Junction isn't the smallest map, but rather DeGroot Keep. Gotcha.

[@vladimirmureseanu1477]

He did put it at the end, also he only counted the core gamemodes whick DeGroot Keep isn't.

[@legokenobi1185]

@@vladimirmureseanu1477 it's sad that probed and 2fort_invasion are not in their respective gamemodes

[@notfunnydidntlaugh68]

Well, they are miscellaneous maps

[@heywaitasecond46]

@@notfunnydidntlaugh68 Well yeah but they are literally just koth and ctf maps respectively

[@pixelmaster98]

@@heywaitasecond46 you can just select them separately in matchmaking by choosing specific maps. Personally, my saved settings only include DeGroot Keep, because - let's be honest - it's basically its own gamemode, albeit with only one map, sadly.

[@madcurseman2547]

It looks like i will spend some more time to find some way to leave the map... Thanks for cool video :D

[@nonptat]

A lot of the larger maps (aside from Enclosure) are large not only because of the sheer scale of them, but also because of the multiple levels and "dead" areas inside them, like the area by Spawn on Lazarus and Mercenary Park. The chances of an actual fight going down in those areas is ridiculously small, and people often opt to just set up by the first mercenary park point rather than closer to blu spawn. Honestly, while they're aesthetically beautiful, they're just plain useless and could be completely removed in favor of a longer respawn time.

It would be interesting to see the maps sorted by update to see if valve went smaller as time went on or larger. Also would be fun to compare officially made by valve maps and community update maps

[@phuckieu7806]

I don't know why, but the fact that you let globgogabalab keep being the background music after the joke ended was really funny.
