14 years ago, Valve held the first and last art pass contest. Dozens of mappers entered, but only one (or two) got their map(s) added into the game, which we all know today as Mountain Lab (and Mann Manor).
But what about the other maps? What do they look like? Should one of them have been declared the winner instead?

I’m so glad to see your channel being used to upload more content for tf2 mapping! I think it’s so cool that I found you about two years ago when I decided to jump headfirst into mapping. (I’m very late to the party but it’s interested me ever since I found out that value gives away the mapping tools with the game). Proud to say I’ve used your tutorial to learn everything I know about mapping as a basis. So it’s really cool to see you buzzing with activity on a new project two more years later! (Also cool to see you were involved in this content!)

oh no my childhood exposed!! but also thanks for the kind words and showcase ♥ at the time of working on this, I was always (..and am still tbh) my own harshest critic - I would only ever see flaws and things left to do and improve. But, I hadn't actually seen my entry for *ages*, and it's honestly wild to see it again. I feel like I did a better job than what my memories chose to remember. It's a nice feeling! I have so many good memories working on this (and other) maps during that time of my life. I was like 100% honed in on wanting to become a level designer/environment artist at Valve back then, I even had the option at one point back when my studio was working on Budget Cuts, but, my goals and desires changed over time, and I chose a different path in the end (the, burnt out indie dev/youtuber one) anyway, thanks again! super cool to see all these again after so much time has passed // Freya

Hey, cool video ! This brings back some memories... I'm the maker of MountainLab. I still remember the moment I was told to be one of the winner, it was totally unexpected. I was still at school back then and ML was my first released map for TF2 and only my second source map (first was a cs:s hostage map). It was a surprise because I rushed the last point sooo badly I was kind of ashamed of it, hehe (a lot of entries have a great final like Ace's one). Now after 13 years in the game industry, ML and later lakeside are still both of my greatest pride and I couldn't thank enough TF2 community for the support it gave me for those.

11:15 have we... are there even all that many Australian red-dirt polished-ready maps among the broader TF2 mapping community to begin with?? I used to play on a community server for years through the 2010s and we REGULARLY cycled through basically any playable map as they came out on tf2maps if it looked at least semi-cool or the blockout was unique for gameplay. I don't recall almost any of them exploring this concept, certainly not to the level of open-air ambiance that this map explores. This is one of those maps that I wonder if it had been selected, how much that could have changed the direction of map styles the TF2 mapping community might have gone in.

Gooba's map is definitely my favorite one. Upcoming dark turbulent skies, which obstructs sun light, is something you rarely see in maps or games in general. Skyboxes are often overlooked, but you can make beautiful settings with it. I am definitely going to make a half life 2 map with this theme someday.

Artpass competitions are always such a shame for how much 'waste' there is in peoples talents. Instead of 1 layout done 30 times, we could have 30 different maps that play different and would all stand on their own as custom maps to be played on servers.

Agreed @LED, there's a couple of additional things to consider as well: - Not everyone wants to do the layout, design and playtesting to get a great playing map. Some artists just want to do art and an art pass gives them a chance to show off their skills without worrying about extraneous areas they may not be good nor have the time to tackle. - A competition will Guarantee(tm) 1 of the maps will make it into a pool (and the rest get dumped forever, which this video highlights!). But if each map is different, then they all have a _possibility_ of getting into the game, albeit smaller. Massive personal bias / anecdote, I passed on the artpass, to make cp_freight, which ended up in the game. It's just a pro/con assessment for your personal skills at the end of the day.

I had the pleasure to have worked with Latteh on Pirates, Vikings and Knights II between 2015 and 2018, when he revamped one of its oldest maps, Desertruin, turning it into a visual feast with a ton of gorgeous models and slick presentation. Seeing an older TF2 map of his with his own twists makes me feel rather nostalgic. And I also have to commend Freya Holmer. She underestimates herself with her own brilliance.

maybe it's bias, but I do believe Mountain Lab (and Mann Manor) were the right picks. most of the more aesthetically pleasing maps have a lot of detail, which looks like they get in the way of gameplay and readability. Mountain Lab has a good balance of a unique theme without going over the top, as well as sticking closely to the original blockout.

Honestly. I would love a map based around where Bonk is made like CP_Bonkworks or something? Maybe a gimmick like there's pools of bonk on the ground that you run through. Gives you a speed boost temporarily. But it also, after a bit slows you down like actual bonk. And throughout it, there's lore explaining bonk a bit more, maybe making a lore explaination to the changes in bonk's effects over the years

something to note about the uncompiled cubemaps- valve always compiles maps on their machines before implementing them into the game (as noted in ueakcrash's video on the delays to the summer update), so it was likely a time-saver that would not have impacted the maps negatively in the final product, as on lower-end computers that can take a while, especially on hardware of the time.

I love Mountain Lab and Mann Manor. My only issue with it is the forward spawn is never used. Not sure if it was meant for RED to use at all, but BLU not getting the forward spawn room after capping B is such a sin. Without a teleporter pushing into the building is a total nightmare. One rogue spy or scout sneaking back to BLU's spawn can completely shut down the offense.

That's a shame, there were other A/D maps using forward spawns for BLU like Gorge.

An interesting thing I point out to aspiring mappers. We all know that unfinished, or making things too simple can make it look unfinished, basic, or look bad. But there's also such a thing as adding too much detail as well. I think some of these definitely show that issue, they look great, but throw in 24 players of spam and that additional 'detail' noise to the game and it's very easy that things can look noisy and overwhelming. It's one of the later things a good mapper learns over time, and is most likely why Valve picked something that looked pretty great, while using as little as possible. "Every brushstroke has a reason behind it " mentality.

freyja's version honestly looks a cut above the rest, and part of me wishes it was the version that got in, but I feel valve may have canned it due to the huge amount of detail interfering with visibility. From just the preview images, it could already see so many little hidey spots, hidden tele exits, and noisy backgrounds. It's a real shame, too, because that map looks one mild revision away from being the best looking map in TF2, in a parallel universe.

It's style is so different from all of the other maps, but is still so cool. My guess is that Valve thought it was "too" different from the rest of the maps in the game and wanted to go with something more similar to what they'd already made. Had TF2 had more urban-industrial maps like Freya's, I think it could've been declared the winner.

I've never been invested in the mapping community of TF2 but all those maps make me wanna play them all. They need to be hosted in public servers 'cause playing with bots in TF2 is a pain.

honestly after seeing all of these it feels like mountainlab is pretty average by comparison. Some of these maps are SICK, mann manor is definitely the best one to be a halloween map but regular mountainlab is just ehh

I guess I missed the explanation, but it seems like Valve pregenerated point layouts for this map contest? Because every single one is basically Mountain Lab.

@@LEDs Yeah makes sense. But then, Mountain Lab was one candidate in that contest? It seems like such a vanilla Valve map with a used terrain; if there was a community contest, I would think a fresh face would get picked: the stormy farm, the swamp, the underground mine, the bonk factory, the outback... Though, I get why they wouldn't pick any space one.

This makes me wish I could make my own custom server and actually play on it. I'm so sick of Mountain Lab. It's not a bad map, imo it's quite fun, just not for the 8,000th time. Even so much as a reskin would be refreshing - I'd love to play some of these in an actual TF2 map.
