There's only a handful of people on the Steam forums who like it.
Their loss, I guess.
Exactly! Although I do wonder which version many of them have played. v2t7 is quite a bit different from BM_final.

No offence Dragonhill, but there are alot better maps imho that deserve to be made official. BlackMesa is fun, it's just not something I see becoming official.
W00T! :chair::facewall:
Blackmesa is the best map ever! I cant think of any maps that are better. Again are they discussing v7 or final or what? Final is the best version yet, though i loved v7 to.
defiantly should be made official!:w00t:

To be honest midget, the maps they have made official never struck me as something different. I think thats why many player stick to the first released maps. Blackmesa is different. Purhaps it's too different and i can accept that. But if some one tells me it's just like the others I will call them on it and ask them to point out what is the same. And we know things get real quiet then.
bottom line is, a year from now I bet players are more likely to remember Blackmesa vs most of the offically released maps save egypt since that map added many of it's own assets to create a different theme.
One thing i have noticed is most players either BM or hate it.. and most of the ones that love it hated it at first..very strange.

Its similar with me, hated v3 loved v7 compromised with final. Its now my chillax area
tbh, Valve take any old crap maps that people spam the steam forums with. Sometimes they will do good, others not so good. Many, many players never think about how much it takes to make good maps. The amount of tiny details that can ruin a map is immense. Although, I s'pose Valve cant do much worse than Steel. That was my downpoint in maps so far. Maps tend to be good or bad. There isn't usually a compromise like there is in the new final version of mesa. I actually want to congratulate you for having the motivation to actually finish a map. All the maps I have started, I have not finished. Either because all the comments I got were "OMFG EVERYTHING SUXX!!!!" or I didn't get comments at all, and didn't know what to change and got bored. I'm sure, if I possibly did a collab that might go away but time will possibly tell. Mesa is different, that is the main reason people play it I think. Different is good. I wish you the best of luck in all your future maps, and if you need alpha testing for upcoming maps you do, I'm always willing to do some testing and provide honest feedback. Good luck, god speed.

Their loss.
IMHO, it shouldn't be officialiced its not that its bad, its just that it doesn't fit the TF2 art style by having WAAAAAY to many futuristic stuff witch doesn't match TF2's 60's art style. But beyond that its an awesome map and i wish for more upgrades to come for it.
P.S. I'm watching you Goretex :glare:

yep.
I agree...it's 100% their loss...i think this map is very special in that it is like a family reunion every time you log into the map....there are almost always a select few people who are ALWAYS on...and some people who venture in to try it out...usually are confused at first, but wind up liking it...but then again there are people who log in and are like "i have no idea where i am going" and quit...and for them...i feel bad...this map is so much more than logging in and fragging a bit...when i log in, i know that i can USUALLY find Dave, Deja, Rush Limbaugh, iceman, Rob and LOADS of other people...i could go on and on...but when i log on, i KNOW i am going to have a good time, because i love to play with, and AGAINST these people...they always make it fun and challenging...now i guess you could say that for other maps, but this is different...just seems more like home to me i guess...now i only have 2 days off a week..and work about 60 hours...so i am not on as much as i would like to be...but you can bet that on mondays and tuesdays (and some random weekdays) i am on black mesa for a least a few hours fragging it up with the "family". if you don't like it...fine, it's your opinion..and you don't have to play the map if you don't want to. I guess what i am getting at is maybe it's "official map" material....maybe it's not....but either way i am gonna continue to love it and play it until it's no longer on our servers (that better not happen Garden..so don't even think about it!! lol)

CTF_Mesa is in the works.
the A area is getting gutted, there will be another "circle" under the main halways to keep the green water, sucktion vents, stairs and lowering platform but it will not be full blow open as in cp_mesa. Brief cases will be placed on the desk just inside the steel doors.
I think this "may" appease the nay sayers

Hmm. There are some custom maps that should be just that. I love Mesa, just don't really think it should be official. It would of course be cool if it did get picked though.
