Why do you map?

[Draco18s]

I voted "Players want a map with unique gameplay and theme" but for me its not so much the players but that I want unique maps. I love playing new maps, though some of them are just awful.

I map because I want to make a map that gets seriously played or at least recognized as fun by the community. None of my friends think my mapping is a good hobby so I wanna show em while having another outlet for creativity.

I've been building with anything that came out of a box marked "LEGO" for as long as I can remember, and this just feels like the logical extension of that passion.

Also, having other people see your work is (mostly) reward in and of itself.

Gives me something to do
Uses my OCD skills while not bugging others
Let's me later say "I made that."
Introduces me into the field, one I wouldn't mind working in

I like creating things. I like tf2. Tf2 maps are challenging to make for the most part. Also, the perfect map doesn't exist. thats like saying no one has created the perfect painting.

I don't.

I map because my server community wants me to. Its also fun and a good pass time.

Ultimately, it's for that feeling you get when you and your friends have a blast playing something YOU made, whether it be a TF2 map or a simple card game.

Also, I'm trying to get into the industry.

I map cause i want to give something new to TF2, i want new creative ideas for maps thats why i like to map for tf2, i want to create something to entretain myself.
