Most fun long-lasting maps?

[Soren Arica]

Hello tf2 community,

I've played this game many years ago and now I've come back. I like playing Goldrush and Nucleus for nostalgia and I've recently discovered that 5Gorge is a lot of fun too! Now I've played 2Fort and Hightower but unfortunately I got kicked once on Hightower for playing the objective by pushing the cart. I am actually just looking for FUN maps that LAST forever for one game and give you A LOT OF EXP for your casual rank, because that's my idea of fun. Which maps are the best maps for receiving lots of experience points while lasting a good amount of time and that are extremely fun to play?

Nucleus for example is fun to play and a good Spy map, but it doesn't last that long. Yesterday I played 5Gorge and found it to be a lot of fun and it also lasts pretty long. Are there any other good maps like that one? What maps can you suggest? Oh and I'm just bored of Badwater Basin and Upward and those deserty-looking maps. Which maps do you suggest for me to play and what is your favorite map? As for community-servers, I like cp_orange the most but I still want to gain some exp by playing casual.

Yours sincerely,

Xp does not matter at all, the badge means nothing. i agree that the longest games are fun when your in the mood for them, but most maps were added to have a playtime of 5-15 minutes if played with a good team, 2fort is my only pick because its so casual, it is casual, it is the only map i need. but diversity is great, play the new maps. its true that the people there only care for the win but it can last a good time (last point)

5 control points for long lasting maps, without people who will kick you for playing objective. XP gained is based on points earned. Non-badlands looking 5CP maps:

Granary
Sunshine
Metalworks
Coldfront
Yukon

Payloads can be good, for the same reasons you want. Some non-desert payloads:

Snowycoast
Swiftwater
Barnblitz
Borneo
Enclosure

Payload and CP are good for points thanks to the objectives and lack of parasites, and the latter can theoretically last forever.

If we're talkin long lasting maps, Powerhouse matches arent allowed to last less than 2 hours, it seems.

Iirc, it's not a normal payload. It's the one with the train and the fridges that fall on it, right? I forget if it's grouped with payloads or other game modes.

I just played Powerhouse for the first time and you're actually so damn right. It lasted for an hour for me and it's a fun map. Great suggestion!

To be long lasting there must be stalemates, so it will NEVER exist a fun map that lasts long.
