Misquotation, its not something to take lightly, one slip of the tongue could spell disaster down the line.

For example the very well known expression ' An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away', is not the full phrase...

'An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away, But an Orchard Attracts Shady Corporations with Hired Guns! ' is the full quotation.
Applejack publicity blurb

Applejack is a community-created Capture the Flag map added in the Summer 2024 Update. It is made of two opposing farming complexes comprised of barns, sheds, and housing surrounded by apple orchards, each for the RED and BLU team respectively. A large population of harmless chickens also inhabit the area.

Applejack was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

  • Spawn Room: a square room with two exits and a resupply cabinet. The right exit leads almost straight to the Intelligence room.
  • Spawn Yard: the area immediately outside the spawn room.
  • Intel Room: a small room with two main doors on opposite sides. A small portion of the room has a higher floor and is partially covered by some computers, which also cover a third, smaller door facing the spawn.
  • Intel Yard: an open area next to the Intelligence room with a large ammo box and a medium health kit on a wooden catwalk. Most classes need to leave through the Intelligence room, but open windows of the team's building can be accessed through jumping techniques.
  • Team Building: each team has a massive building separating their spawn and Intelligence rooms from the center of the map.
  • Garage: the room with a truck full of apples.
