Maps in Team Fortress 2 different every time
Team Fortress 2, the multiplayer game you will get 'for free' with Half-Life Episode 2, is a game a lot of gamers look forward to. The first episode was played for months and the gameplay was of an unknown quality.
With the experience of the first one in the back of their heads, Valve has decided to randomise the multiplayer maps. This means the map will be different every time you start a game.
This way, campers will get no change and noobs will have a smaller disadvantage in comparison to the die-hards who normally know all the maps by heart.

"As for how the dynamic maps work in practice, that was hard to judge. The match we played on Hydro, the first map to use this special game mode, was enormous fun. But as extensive as our playtest was, they didn't let us play on the map for three years, and that's the kind of heavy use under which this system should flourish. What we did notice is that this is not just a Battlefield type system with some control points 'locked'. When a point is not in play, routes to that section of the map are physically blocked off, so the physical shape of the map is different for every combination of points. That forces you to revise your mental picture of the map, and see it as fresh again."
