Degroot Keep is a new map that was released during the Australian Christmas Update on December 17, 2010. The map features 3 Control points in which 2 on the sides of the castle must be captured first before being able to advance to the final control point which is blocked off by a traditional castle gate.

You can shoot projectiles through the holes in the castle gate and windows of the towers. Braziers can be found throughout the map and can light Huntsman arrows on fire.
