Probed features an [[Underworld|overworld]] gameplay space. Periodically, varying about every 50 to 70 seconds, a [[Saucers|saucer]] flies over the Control Point, stops, and activates its tractor beam. This beam abducts any players near the Point, pulling them up and inside the spacecraft. The saucer's interior is circular with abductee probing stations in the center. Sets of fur team-colored teleport exit cabenets face opposite each other along the outer wall. Abducted players spawn in front of the enemy's {{botignore|teleporter}} exits and must fight through the ship to reach their own {{botignore|teleporter}} exits. Abducted players receive a full heal on arrival and their [[Speed]] is increased inside the craft; however, all players begin taking [[damage]] due to the alien craft's [[Environmental death#Health drain|toxic atmosphere]]. Players killed within the saucer simply return to their spawn with normal respawn delay. On the other hand, players that succeed on reaching their {{botignore|teleporter}} exits are instantly placed facing the Point, receiving ''very'' brief [[ÜberCharge|invulnerability]], then [[Healing#Overheal|overheal]] and a few seconds of [[Mini-Crits]].
  
*'''Barn Spawns''': Outside the spawns are three pathways to choose from. All three lead to the same pathway to the control point.

After the first capture of the Control Point, the Aliens begin to {{botignore|teleport}} small, seemingly mechanical, "[[Environmental death#Alien Walkers|Alien Walkers]]" onto the map:
 +
* Those that drop outside of playable areas periodically shoot at the team's {{botignore|buildings}}. This action as no effect on the game, but players can shoot them to pieces.

* Those that drop into playable areas do not fire; however, they do function very similar to the [[Pumpkin bomb]] hazard.

This map is a 90 degree symmetrical King of the Hill, with identical team paths from rollout to the central Control Point:

*'''Alien UFO ''': Periodically a [[Saucers|saucer]] will fly over the Control Point and activate its tractor beam, sucking any players near the point inside. Speed is increased inside the craft, however all players will begin taking damage due to the alien's toxic atmosphere. On both sides of the craft are corresponding team Teleporters that will return players to their team's side of the capture point. Upon exiting the player is restored to full health and given a few seconds of [[Uber]] and [[mini-crits]].

Invasion Update

Probed is a community-made King of the Hill map created for and won the 2014 TF2Maps.net Major Mapping Contest #11, "Mercs vs. Aliens". The map was featured in the Invasion Community Update Campaign (October 6, 2015 to November 5, 2015). The map was soon after added to the to the regular quickplay lists.

Storyline: Aliens have nearly completed their invasion of Earth; Humanity's last hope is the lasers that RED and BLU have each hidden near the same farmhouse. Naturally, each team is ordered to prevent the other team from using their competing laser. While the teams contest the point, the Aliens teleport in their own combatants, which then begin firing on the concealed lasers. Meanwhile, other Saucers collect cows. As either team threatens to complete their capture of the point, the Mothership begins to approach. Once it has arrived over the map, the Mothership begins to charge its main weapon as the capping team's laser begins to deploy ....

Probed was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Alien UFO

Probed features an overworld gameplay space. Periodically, varying about every 50 to 70 seconds, a saucer flies over the Control Point, stops, and activates its tractor beam. This beam abducts any players near the Point, pulling them up and inside the spacecraft. The saucer's interior is circular with abductee probing stations in the center. Sets of fur team-colored teleport exit cabenets face opposite each other along the outer wall. Abducted players spawn in front of the enemy's teleporter exits and must fight through the ship to reach their own teleporter exits. Abducted players receive a full heal on arrival and their Speed is increased inside the craft; however, all players begin taking damage due to the alien craft's toxic atmosphere. Players killed within the saucer simply return to their spawn with normal respawn delay. On the other hand, players that succeed on reaching their teleporter exits are instantly placed facing the Point, receiving very brief invulnerability, then overheal and a few seconds of Mini-Crits.

Alien Walkers

After the first capture of the Control Point, the Aliens begin to teleport small, seemingly mechanical, "Alien Walkers" onto the map:

  • Those that drop outside of playable areas periodically shoot at the team's buildings. This action as no effect on the game, but players can shoot them to pieces.
  • Those that drop into playable areas do not fire; however, they do function very similar to the Pumpkin bomb hazard.

Locations

This map is a 90 degree symmetrical King of the Hill, with identical team paths from rollout to the central Control Point:

Note: If you are having trouble with finding the locations listed here, see the Helpful overview section to see their exact position marked on the map.

  • Barn Spawns: Outside the spawns are three pathways to choose from. All three lead to the same pathway to the Control Point.
  • Rural Pathways: Over the dual pathways to the Control Point is a catwalk for height advantage.
  • Grain Silo Control Point: At the Control Point is a second floor structure for Sniper advantage. The grain silo in front of the Point is open on both pathways.
  • Farmhouse Flanks: Opposite from the Spawns and Silo, are connected buildings that flank and command the point.
    • Porch Roof: Below the upper windows of the Farmhouse, players can fight from the Porch Roof. Players can be abducted from Porch Roof, but are "safe" from abduction underneath the Porch Roof.

4-24-15

  • Overhauled alien explosion damage filtering to fix exploit where players could kill teammates
  • Doubled alien explosion damage
  • Reduced capture time slightly
  • Reduced capture zone back to original placement
  • UFO now hovers for 3 seconds before starting tractor beam over point. Stil stops 8 seconds after arriving. (this gives you a chance to run away/ hide from it)
  • Nerfed buff coming out of ship significantly. Uber half as short (still there to help disorientation coming out of tele), now gives you mini crits for 6 seconds.
  • Changed speed boost type on board ship (no longer infinite jumps variety)
  • Fixed missing pre-teleport in particles for on-map alien spawns (warning of telefrag)

  • UFO ship now also stays for a shorter time (10 seconds before, now 8 seconds)
  • Reduced capture time by 2 seconds (10 seconds before, now 8 seconds at x1)
  • Reduced damage per tick inside of ship (9 before, now 7)
  • Gave those entering ship a very slight overheal on top of getting healed up to full

Trivia

  • To the right of the BLU Base in the background, there is a scarecrow wearing An Extraordinary Abundance of Tinge painted Ghastly Gibus.
  • On the roof of the structure in front of the RED Base, there is a small train. This is a reference to the map Trainsawlaser, which was another map made by UEAKCrash.

    • There is also a Map Maker's Medallion and a Spycrab seen in the room as well as a saw blade and tiny train underneath a bed. The train and saw blade are another reference to Trainsawlaser.
