=== Control Point A ===
 +
Control Point A is located on a platform just outside of the [[List of companies|Cliffe Rocks Inc.]] building.
 +
 
 +
* '''Cliffs''': The Cliffs are an elevated piece of ground located right outside of the BLU's spawn. On them is a small shed with a large [[Ammo]] and a medium [[Health]] pack
 +
* '''Cornerstone''': Besides the Cliffs are a group of boulders in which one of the Cable Cars' pole is set. They provide good cover to the attackers advancing on the said Cliffs.
 +
* '''Warehouse''': This square-shaped wooden building is a warehouse, and serves as a flank route behind Point A. BLU team spawns directly outside of it after capturing Point A.
 +
* '''Side Building''': Opposite of the Warehouse is the Side Building. It acts as a flank route to the Cliffe Rocks Inc. building, behind the control point. This also acts as a secondary path to Point B after A is captured, via the Gated Shortcut.
 +
* '''Cliffe Rocks Inc.''': A fairly complex building adjacent directly to Control Point A. It has two levels, with a dropdown in-between.
