Steamworks was a great map which actually felt like a challenge, and it is so upsetting that it got removed with no reason. it would be lovely if we got to play the map just one more time on this server. so if you could please bring back steamworks to tf2 deathrun
It was originally removed for unpopularity, however with the success of more challenging maps like neonoir and dangerzone I’d wager it would fare better nowadays in terms of popularity, with the majority of the deathrun playerbase now gravitating towards harder maps.
Those servers aren't skial though. The deathrun server is always full no matter what map is being played
Playing devil’s advocate, but the same argument could be made for maps like manor and iceworld. I can easily play those maps on a server like retroservers and FF and only see them played once a month. For reference, I played retroservers deathrun every day for a month and didn’t see iceworld once with it being in the map rotation. This isn’t related to those communities preferring harder maps either, neonoir takes up less than 3% of the map rotation on retroservers and FF in comparison to skial’s 8%, being beaten out by maps like lazytown, which are substantially easier
Because the map still hasn't been confirmed or denied, let me just add another reason. Yes, this is true. However it was a long time ago, Skial Deathrun has changed from playstation to the noir maps and bearun. It'd be nice to get another hard map, and steamworks already is a great map imo.
