    Map Labels

    One thing that has kinda bugged me since I started really playing TF2 is knowing what places in maps are called. I was curious if and how easy it would be to create maps with labels on them for reference, at least on the TPG server. Examples would be the yards on granary, roof on badwater, these kinda places.

    Can the average and maybe slightly new player look at a map and understand what is being represented? Do the more vertical maps have overlapping areas? Can we as a group come to an agreement on names?

    I would imagine that the people who post often in this forum would have no problems. If ya'll could ask around to other players and see if they would even care. If this looks to be a dead end proposition then lets not create headaches.

    well the name variations was one of the reasons that got me thinking about working towards our owns "standards". I was looking for maps, not videos. I haven't found any good ones. I like the ones from the GameMe site, but they have all this info on them that blocks stuff. Once we found those we could find the spots on the maps that really need a name, then work towards a consensus.

    The problem with standards.
