Map name prefixes
Some achievement maps provide areas set off or protected for various specific activities, such as heavy-only boxing areas, soccer fields, pyro tennis courts, private achievement rooms, and surf ramps. Some achievement maps also have mechanisms set up to facilitate specific achievements, some with player controls.
AFK idlers are often spawned into an automated conveyor device where they may be targeted by active players seeking achievements or grind out strange levels. Sometimes Bots are spawned into this mechanism as well, but the presence of idling players support achievements that specifically require players as targets eg Besides achievement grinding and strange leveling, various types of activities often occur. Achievement map servers usually encourage trading. Because the standard same mode of the map is usually suppressed, combat is usually "free fire"; however, it is also not uncommon for opposing players to just hang out with each other, chat, assist each other with achievements, show off, or attempt stunts.
A different cooperative play mode
Some feature secret rooms [youtube], air ships, subways, trains, or other thing that players may ride achievement_idle
Train
Train's paint scheme matches the "Bloody Nose" standard that Southern Pacific used from 1958 on -- with the exception that the characteristic SP nose wings are not the standard Sunset Red but the rare "Halloween" orange that SP experimented with early on.

Historical Context
The content of TF2 is based on historical and cultural elements of the late 1960's. The setting of most of the first maps released for the game is 1968, generally in the southwestern deserts of the United States. Several later release maps are set a few years later the purpose here is to list historical events or movements that influenced TF2, but also to mention very important events and movements that are not omitted from the game. If we are to justify games as educational, then we should make efforts to that purpose.
Historical Context of TF2 In someways, the historical presentation in TF2 is reasonably accurate, if nostalgic. The art captures the Atomic Punk and Space Punk movements of the time, yet also shows many iconic references to bygone Americana (rustic farmsteads, delaptidate mines). The Cold War, the Space Race, Hippies, and World War II (the latter still culturally relevantin the late 1960's) are notablty, if steriotypically, evident in maps, items, character back grounds, or responces. However, other serious contemporary issues are not generally referenced; in particular, global civil unrest, War Protests, and Racial tensions.
Late 1960's
1968 is the time frame of the Gravel Wars 1968 is a culmination of a historically and culturally significant period in U.S. and World history
Referenced in Game
Cold War
China was relatively impenetrable.
Space Race
The US was winning the Space Race and was on the verge of the Manned Moon Landing, making the Monkeynaut business a bit anachronistic.
Railroads
Trains appear immensely popular with Valve and Community Developers, appearing in some form in almost all maps. US Railroads were completely dieselized by 1968, but rail passenger service has generally failed by this date, prompting the formation of AMTRAK, which began operation in 1971.
Popular Music
Surf Rock had progressed to Girl Rock and Car Rock and grown to influence soundtracks for Space, Spy, Monster, and Western movies and TV series; these later four forms being a basis for much of the Team Fortress Soundtrack (cf. In 1967, Tom Jones moved to the desert region to begin regular performances at Las Vegas lounges. His television variety show (This Is Tom Jones) abruptly ends with his death in 1971 at the hands of his roommate Merasmus.
Movies/Televison
Silver age of cinema?
Night of the Living Dead (1968) established the Modern Zombie genre (cf. Zombie Fortress) Nuclear Weapons dominated international relations (heavily referenced in TF2 Maps).
Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy was released in the United States in 1967, as tributed in TF2 by references in Engineer items and achievements (Face Full of Festive The Goo badn and .
The scores for these movies established Ennio Morricone's influence in Western movie music, as tributed in TF2 by "The Calm". (signatures whips, whistling, jew's harp, bells, trumpets, reverberating electric guitar
WWII
WWII was still a relatively recent and culturally pervasive event features in several moves produced at that time. (Soldier), references in several items but its significance was to begin to fade as Baby Boomers came to political influence. Having ended just over two decades prior, World War II is still a vivid national memory, but its cultural influence is fading to that of the Vietnam War. Several achievements and Items, especially those of Soldier, reference WWII equipment, events, or movies. Market Gardener Guns of the Navar0wned In 1968, Veterans of WWII are now in middle age and at their peak earnings stage, and they are confronting the Generation Gap -- their children the baby boomers are now passing through high school and college.
Hippies
Long hair became a political statement (Hippies, hair cuts, Hippies)
Soldier natural enemy of robots hippies.
Definitive events happened around 1968 Woodstock 1969
Not Referenced in Game
Some very Big Things were going on then and are referenced in the game, but some of the very Big Things happening then are not referenced at all. Most Americans still live on farms Major, harmful changes in U.S. diet: food processing, replacement of animal fat with hydrogenated vegetable oils. replacement of grass-fed cattle with grain fed Concentrated Feeder Operations
Protests of 1968
The protests of 1968 comprised a worldwide escalation of social conflicts, predominately characterized by popular rebellions in many countries worldwide. This was much larger situation than the recent Islamist uprisings. These revolts were against military, capitalist, and socialist elites alike. The protests were brutally quashed in 2nd and 3rd world Communist Block countries, but were appeased by progressive spending measures in Western 1st world democracies.
Cultural Revolution
Mao Zedong's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution targeted counter-revolutionary revisionists with violent class struggle.
Vietnam War
The archetypical M134 (Minigun) was developed specifically for action in Vietnam War and is one TF2 item that is associated with that war. But other than that, this conflict is largely ignored in TF2.
By the end of the 1960s, the Vietnam War became a major culturally divisive issue in the United States. Then Republican Candidate for U.S. President Richard M. Nixon campaigned on a platform of ending that war and wins the biggest U.S. Presidential landslide
The infamous Tet Offensive occurred in 1968. Even though that event was a major military defeat, it was a political victory
Racial Tensions
Race was an extremely intense issue in the US at this time, witnessing the Long Hot Summer of 1967, desegregation of housing through the Fair Housing Acts of 1968 and the assassination of Martin Luther King, which was followed by riots.
As recently as 1964 and 1965, Civil Rights Acts were passed banning segregation and addressing the voting disenfranchisement of blacks. In 1967, the United States Supreme Court declared unconstitutional all anti-miscegenation laws in the United States.
In truth, the close friendship of Demoman and Soldier, which seems unremarkable today, would have been relatively novel at that time.
Personally, having been an impressionable (white) child in the 1960s, I have always felt a little uncomfortable with the stereotypical blaxploitation hats and miscellaneous items for Demoman; so, I hope their apparent acceptance in the TF2 community reflects that gamers are post-racial.
Game Wiki Editor's Prayer
As I sit to type, I utter this self-admonishing prayer: Very, very few edits to this wiki feed, clothe, or comfort anyone or anything except egos. I pray to minimize my self-absorption and sloth and that I not compound my sins with jealousy and or anger over such petty concerns as games. Loving games is easy, even thieves, murders, and haters love games. How much more glorious is it to love something that does not give such immediate, easy pleasure?
