Wildfire is a Capture the Flag map focusing on strong combat arenas broken up by arches to prevent unfair sticky escapes. Wildfire is set in a small industrial center surrounded by a crackling forest fire. It features two unconventional Capture the Flag mechanics, capture-at-flag and touch return. Players capture the enemy flag by bringing it to their team's flag instead of a capture zone, and dropped flags can be returned to base by touching it.
Wildfire was created for the TF2Maps.net Competitive CTF Contest. It won first place, finishing above Deliverance and Fusion.
Locations
- Spire: A tall spire, similar to Badlands, in each base, on top of which the flag spawns.
- House: A small house next to the spire with health and ammo.
- The Dish: The lower level of the middle of the map, a large dish similar to Hydro
- Bridge: A bridge over the dish, with a medium health
- Sewer: Sewers running from the dish to each base
- Ramp Room: A small room that connects the sewers to each base with a series of ramps
Strategy
- Soldiers and Demomen can jump to the top of the spire to easily take the Intelligence.
- The small building near each team's Intelligence offers Engineers a prime place for Sentry Gun placement.
- A lack of long sightlines make Snipers wielding rifles hard to use effectively on this map. Instead, equip the Huntsman and Jarate for more close range capability.
