Legend speaks of a forgotten place that holds untold riches, somewhere across the pond, where we need to establish control... Now it's time to visit this "Old World", again...

Welcome to Europe!

Operation: Europa is a map-focused community project that aims to bring European environments to TF2! There are so many places to go and see! We can't reasonably cover them all on our own, so the Operation: Europa Team calls on you, the community, to make your European maps for the project and help bring an authentic European experience to TF2!

Additionally, they are collaborating with TF2Maps.net to bring you a Major Mapping Contest centered around Europe! If you think you have what it takes, read up on the contest thread below to familiarize yourself with the rules.

It's not just maps, though! While maps are important for navigation, especially in a place like Europe, what's even more important? Style of course! A place as rich as Europe provides many opportunities for unique garments to dress yourself with so you blend right in! The project is also looking for cosmetics, war paints, Unusual effects, and anything else that can be submitted to the Workshop!
