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 new weapons, one was added in the Love & War Update, but the others were scrapped due to 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.
