Snowplow is an Attack/Defense map which was intended to be released alongside the End of the Line Update, but ultimately wasn't included, after Valve deemed it "too confusing and challenging for new players."[1]Snowplow can still be played but not on official Valve servers.

Trivia

  • Given how BLU's base is destroyed in the background, it would seem that the map would have taken place after the End of the Line video.
  • In stage 1, a card board cutout of a yeti can be seen next to a cliff. The Yeti is wearing J.Axer's Dapper Topper
  • In stage 1, near the second point, a series of doors can be found. Behind 2 are rubber ducks. Behind the left door contains Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect
  • In stage 1, some Doves flying with a bomb can be seen above the trees in the skybox next to the cliff. This is a reference to the last scene in the movie End of the Line
  • Snowplow was available for public Beta testing prior to being pulled from the End of the Line Update.
