Trivia

The map Snowplow was made to go with the update, but it wasn't included because Valve thought it would be too complex and confusing for new players.
- In the beta testing version of the map, many objects that would 'spoil' the SFM were temporarily made into error signs.
- The map was later added in the Gun Mettle Update
Originally, the update was going to feature weapons, but one of them was added in the Love & War Update, and the others were scrapped for not making the quality cut.
Posters for End of the Line can be found in a few select areas on certain maps such as Lumberyard.
- Certain maps also contain the BLU Pyro's mural from the video.
