Rotation Server gets Custom Maps!

Hey everyone. Thanks for showing up yesterday on rotation to enjoy the brand new map cycle featuring some of TF2's hottest custom maps! It was a blast and a great change from the usual 2fort madness. (2fort still our fav though)

Anyhow, the rotation server custom maps download straight from this web host so you should get blistering fast download speeds to reduce wait time for the new maps. 

So far our map rotation goes as follows:

pl_goldrush
cp_yukon_rc4
cp_dustbowl
ctf_mach4
cp_follower
cp_granary
cp_furnace_b3
pl_badwater
cp_toy_fort_beta2
cp_gravelpit
pl_waste
cp_warpath2

Also keep in mind if you want to change the map around all you gotta do is type: votemap

A menu will come up with all the voting options! Power to the people!
