Trains Galore | Team Fortress 2 Rotunda Map Analysis
Ойындар
Team Fortress 2's 2023 Summer Update has been quite the experience! The game demolished its alltime concurrent player count, gave us 14 new maps, 1 new gamemode, and a good few cosmetics, taunts, and unusual effects. It even saw Jerma985 and STAR_ reuniting to play the new update. However, today I'm gonna be focusing on the new train-themed king of the hill map Rotunda. I'll be talking a bit about the map's development and its inspirations, and then take a look at the trains and other details featured on the map. Think of this as a Trains of TF2 Part 1.5...

Now we need a french map with a french engine for spies.
3:44 "The gray one being locked up in a shed for his crimes" Knowing the country of origin and the years it was in service, I think we all know exactly what those crimes were

So does that make VSH cannon to the LORE!
I will always appreciate and applaud new train maps in TF2. Trains enhance every map they're in.
0:19 Glad that Venice finally got its layout update from the workshop. 1:23 A tc map? Oh now I really want to see what is left of it. Community made tc maps are so rare. 5:14 I have seen that one on the community made map, mvm_downtown, durring a community MvM event. It acted as a forward spawn for the robots. Nice seeing it now being used ingame. 6:36 I guess that is what the spectator camera, that travels around the building is tied to. 6:49 Still a little annoyed that pl_cashworks broke like that, when it was compleatly fine before getting added.
Nice to have a small followup to your Trains of TF2 video. Next outta be the Left 4 Dead or Counter-Strike series, if you've played those. Fun fact, nearly every train model in L4D is just a modified TF2 model with proportions made less exaggerated. 5:16 Oh yeah! This was inspired by a unique tanker model that goes unused. I don't remember if it's just leftover in the retail files, or if it was discovered in the Postal III leaks or recent massive Valve gigaleak at the start of the year, but it's cool to see the concept repurposed on this map.
I'm still learning with hammer, but i'd like to make a tf2 map that is also train focused. I have an idea for a 3 stage a/d map that shows a simplified process of restoring a steam engine. Stage 1 would be capping the workshop to start work on the engine. Stage 2 would be capping the coal tipple to fuel the engine up, and stage 3 would be capping at a station to get the engine ready to leave. One day i'll get this done. Hopefully.

Gotta be my favourite map from the summer update. It's well-made but also easy to learn and fairly balanced
After 9 years… We got a new train!
Seals, Mimi sentries (I know they're not official in the game), and this Rail layout with your locomotive info have been incredible add ons to the TF2 game!

I like to think that the small train easter-egg at 6:37 is a reference to LGB's diesel switcher model
This is honestly one of the best maps ever added to the game! I do also really like Phoenix and Pelican peak as well
I actually have a Marklin model that looks similar to the train. Amazing job as always, and keep being awesome! :D

I soon as I saw this map I knew this channel was gonna cover it someway or another.
More TF2 trains. The summer update gave us more trains and railcars. 5:11 those seals plushies look really cute. 6:41 yes the little locomotive looks cute. American diesel locomotives in a German map? Also some German tank engines. 7:22 thats a seal not a sea lion. 7:25 look at her go really caught me off guard. 7:48 thats funny.
The rail lines might be similar to the Prussian Rail Lines, with efficiency being the key factor
The red soldier with blue intel buried under rubble is a homage to Karma Charger as he used to make videos explaining weapon statistics in TF2 but has since deleted his channel and disappeared.

Nice work AmtrakGuy!
I like these type of vids,like some games have really well modeled map vehicles,and theyre just there forgoten.
We can all go for more trains in games, that's for sure
I think the story of Rotunda is that RED and BLU both want what's in the container because it'll aid their fight for the Mann Bros and all the Workers got wind of what was gonna go down and legged it.
Yes! Another banger from Jared!
Im glad WE finally get to See a Germany Steam locomotive in this Game i allways wanted to See a Germany Steam locomotive in soo gmod or this but im glad WE saw one
It looks like they're using an abandoned shed for the battle for the control point and it looks like either one or both teams dumped coal into the turntable to stop it from spinning so that they can also block entrances and exits to their intelligence and to stop the other team from trying to use any other engines to pull out the load on the turntable by turning the table
😊 yay part 2 I can't believe I followed you loooong time
4:05 lol, I thought that was a real locomotive for a second.
the only thing I would do to that locomotive would be to make it into an 0-6-0.
My theory of why the blu and Red team and their rolling stock are in Germany is that the mann brothers wanted to spread there company to europeon countries but didn't want to pay extra money for European cars so they took there american freight cars and gp38s with them and only bought the steam engines.
>Infinite Freight Train I think a Class I executive would kill to make that a reality
Works cannot express how much I wished the trains moved at the end of a round.
Nice back to TF2 Trains!
Honestly the last thing I need now is trainsawlaser, even if it's just resigned to be a Halloween map
if even the train enjoyers are talking about tf2 that means the game really is alive
it would be cool to see a ctf version of this where at the end of the round the losing team's intel room collapses (and maybe with a spinning rotunda)
Epic train
The grey 0-8-0 looks like a oversized puffa
LETS GO HE COVERED ROTUNDA
Video: poor forklift Me:NNNNNOOOOOOOOO NOT THE FORKLIFT
TF2 NEVER DIES BABY
That's cool
I highly doubt that he will do this, but it would be cool if he reviewed the similarities of Lego train sets and real trains. Again, probably not happening.
GOOD WORK HOSS its a shame this map is very claustrophobic and overwhelming tbh i really like looking at the trains yo
cool train map
I hope there will be more trains and rolling stocks in team fortress 2 probably in some new maps in the future
7:29 Happy to hear you’re a fan of Sonic Unleashed.
Imagine being the engineer who needs to drive the train thro a area with a bunch of idiots blowing each other up
4:05 I didn’t even notice it was a model!
I would like to see more steam locomotives in TF2

the steam train thumbnail look like it came from Germany. ( as yet writing this comment I have not watched the video yet)

YAY
A TF2 UPDATE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love TF2 trains
Great times for train enthusiasts uwu
In the other video, you called the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad the Durango and Western Railroad. You also didn't talk about how the D&RGW locomotives side rods didn't move.
4:05 This is way to realistic i thought it was a real footage
trains and tf2, i'm in heaven.
You should do "Trains of Fallout"
Trains 👍
thomas was in a sideing when sudinly a fat russin man stared shooting him thomas did not like being shot at
Fun fact: Rotunda is a building in warsaw, Poland
3:54 I just realized it sounds like 4501
you should do a video on the all trains in GTA
2:54 i live near goslar but there gone ofc

Press f to respect the forklift

They could have absed the slanted water tanks from the American s100 tank engines
Rotunda enjoyer
Someone should have recorded custom sound effects for these types of games!..
😮
The 81 class tank engine is just a german e2 class tank engine

What location is the train
Yes more tf2
German locomotive
I live in germany
Yeah abandoned steam engine work shop why are their American diesels their then
Good map, sky net bots ruined it.
To be perfectly honest, while I "dislike" PvP shooters like TF2 (don't ask, "dislike" is for politeness' sake, the real intensity level goes WAY beyond that) I will always appreciate trains in games. Apart from the cartoonish characters, I honestly think these maps would be right at home in a Half-Life game and I hope that someday we may get more, non-VR, Half-Life games with controllable trains. For example, I would love to be able to take full operational control of the Depot as Gordon Freeman, and use the Razor Trains there to help the Resistance win against the Combine.
While it's a good map, I think it's pretty ugly. No attempt was made at color theory and there's junk everywhere cluttering up the visuals.
