Ever feel lost in the crowd playing in a public server? Like your actions can’t affect the push and shove of the battle? Smaller battles of 6 players a team offer the opportunity to more greatly impact your team’s success, and therefore put greater pressure on a team to act cohesively! This system is designed to allow players to easily arrange these matches without the hassle of traditional methods.

Team Fortress 2 Lobby, more commonly known as TF2Lobby, is a competitive matchmaking site that allows users to quickly organize pickup games. The website can support both 6v6 and Highlander games, and includes some options varying the class limits (6v6 only), communication (gravetalk, etc.), and the use of crits and fixed weapon spreads.

Development

FLOOR_MASTER designed and developed the implementation of the system in its entirety, and continues to maintain and improve it. Mangy Carface designed the configuration options, provided a collection of map thumbnails, helped with many interface design issues, and coordinated external testing efforts. Flame recognized the need for a system like this and created the original mockups of how the lobby interface looks. Nineaxis converted the concept work into an initial web page and helped tame various CSS issues.

A server pool has been provided by Valve, although users can specify their own servers so long as they have an IP and match RCON password for said server.
