The Swamp Theme is a collection of swamp-themed assets for mappers to use in their custom maps. These assets include materials, models, particles, and more. The Swamp Theme was assembled by a group of TF2Maps.net members and published here. The Swamp Theme has been featured on the TF2 Official Blog, and was made official in the October 27, 2010 Patch as part of the Scream Fortress Update Halloween 2010 event.
The current version of the Swamp Theme is a second revision which brought many new assets to the pack, as well as a Swamp Theme Map Pack. The Swamp Theme Map Pack features popular custom maps that were created using the Swamp Theme assets. These maps include Atrophy, Fever, Wildmire, and Blackwood. The Hazardous Environments sign found in the Swamp Theme has since been added into the game in the form of Coldfront.
The Swamp Theme contains 40 models, over 30 materials and overlays, six skyboxes, one detail sprite, ten particles, and one new soundscape for mappers to implement in to their maps.

Trivia

- The Tour Schedule material and the Freeman Airboat Tours Sign are references to Half-Life 2, in which the main protagonist, Gordon Freeman, uses an airboat on occasion.
