| − | == Locations ==
| |
| − | * '''The Device''' - The swirling, colorful Doomsday Device which dominates the center of the map. It contains the map's Control Point, which unlocks after 60 seconds.
| |
| − | * '''The Pit''' - Directly below The Device is a bottomless radioactive pit with a narrow catwalk suspended just above it. The catwalk hold a Medium Health Pack, but the pit is an unavoidable death for anyone unfortunate enough to fall in.
| |
| − | * '''The Perimeter''' - The series of ledges and catwalks which directly surround the Pit. The Perimeter is further divided into 'RED-Side Perimeter' and BLU-Side Perimeter', based on which spawn room is on that side of the map.

| − | == Strategy ==
| |
| − | * [[Scout]]s with the [[Force-A-Nature]] and Pyros with the [[Flamethrower]] equipped can use their weapons to knock their opponents into the center pit, causing them to die instantly. This also works for Soldiers and Demomen, altough it's much harder to pull off.
| |
| − | * This is a very good map for [[Scout]]s. There are many fast routes that only Scouts can take. ie. Jumping over the chasm. Also playing as Scout, a medium health pickup is only two jumps away from almost any point on the map; seeing as it's placed low and in the middle.
| |
| − | * This map is also a good map for [[Heavy|Heavies]], because the narrow catwalks leading to the center point give enemies no space to avoid your weapons.
| |
| − | * At the start of a round, [[Scout]]s are able to jump on the roof of a low building to the right or to the left as they leave spawn depending on which team you are on (BLU = Left, RED = Right); allowing a fast route to the other team as well as an easy way to get behind the other team.
| |
| − | * Though overall a good map for [[Spy|Spies]], the circular nature of the map disrupts line of sight, meaning you have little warning before enemies are suddenly upon you.
| |
| − | * [[Heavy|Heavies]] and [[Soldier]]s should be alert of enemy Snipers. Going into the doorway near the spawn is a good way to avoid them.
| |
| − | * The circular nature of the map allows for easy access to the opposing team's spawn entrance, which in turn opens for ambushing.
| |
| − | * As the [[Engineer]], you can deploy a sentry near the medkit, which finishes off any enemies with low health trying to get to the medkit.
| |
| − | * The roof on one side of the map has an opening on the top, giving [[Soldier]]s and [[Demoman|Demomen]] oppurtunity to do much damage without being noticed.
