Meridian is a custom Territorial Control map made by Shmitz. The map takes place on an ancient tropical island in the middle of the sea.

The story goes as follows: RED have taken over a once peaceful island, and it's up to BLU team to overcome them. Unlike in Hydro where the goal is to capture each control point in each territory on the map, Meridian instead uses capturing intels as the goals. Whoever captures the Intelligence in each area captures the territory.

Locations

RED CP1: The Volcano Laboratory

A robotics facility where the RED team appears to be building an enormous battle machine of sorts. The intel rests in an observation post on the second floor of the volcano's walkway system.

BLU CP1: The Tiki Temple

An ancient native temple, which has been overrun by the BLU team and is currently being used as a base of operations against RED on the island. Much of the temple's original architecture has been refitted with lighting and equipment brought in by the BLU team. The intel can be found outside BLU's spawn, inside the base of the temple.

RED CP2: The Submarine Drydock

A single-ship drydock located on the edge of the island's coast. A single submarine owned by the RED team sits idle, facing out to the open sea. The intel sits on a grated walkway near the entrance hatch of the submarine.

BLU CP2: The Native Village

This walled village appears to have once been the home to a group of tribal natives. Many of the buildings have been re-purposed as supply and power centers for BLU operations. The intel sits in the basement of a large building in the center of the village.
