Alrighty I decided to spare you fine gentlemen from watching my horrible youtube video where I explain just how wrong you are, and instead I'll keep things plain and simple. Example in counter strike source (the new version), on de_dust2. I've got HDR on, 0x AA, 1920x1080 res. de_dust2 overview texture de_dust2_radar overview texture de_dust2 cl_leveloverview 5 (the number means how far the camera is zoomed out) Double doors with cl_leveloverview 0 (first-person) Double doors with cl_leveloverview 2 Also, note that if you try to use overview on a custom map it doesn't work. PS: don't get me wrong, I would love to see this feature in tf2, I'm just trying to explain why valve won't do it.

Allways great too see when the soldiers and the demoman makes sweet airshots and i would honestly like to see that on the way it is now, it would make no since wachting it from a overview-.-

only problem with this is that valve probably won't do it for custom maps.

I don't see what the fuss is about. This isn't CSS where the enemy team run off all over the map and kill things this is TF2 where the bulk of the enemy team will ALWAYS be on the choke and the scouts will ALWAYS be on the flanks. Why the hell would we need some shitty map overview when it's 1000% obvious where everyone will be? Casting would see 0 improvement from this because we all know where the players are and if there going to do something new then caster's just need to look at the flanks. And I know it sounds like I'm only talking about badlands but every single TF2 map is built with choke's and flanks. It's not hard to find the action on TF2 like it is on CSS because the action is centred around the points and there entrance's.

just a somewhat related question: does everyone have the same problem since the last update that when u spectate a sniper you can't see him zooming anymore? (same when watching demos)

[...] They take screenshots using that command, then edit them so they look nice. Now think, Valve will have to do that for every official map, then all the popular custom maps will also need overviews. This is just too much work.
