Rotunda is a community-created King of the Hill map. The map is set in a somewhat abandoned train depot in south east Germany, with both teams fighting over a reactor with 2 steam locomotives on each side. This map has been partially inspired by the open layouts of Nucleus and Harvest.
Rotunda was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Locations
- Spawn yard: A yard straight out of the spawn room, contains an entrance to the Tunnels, a main path to the point, as well as an infinitely long train.
- Tunnels: Straight out of spawn, some underground tunnels can be found under a hatch lifting up two shipping containers leading to directly under the point.
- Outer train depot: The outer section train depot conists of a large ring around the inner depot.
- Inner train depot: The main control point, contains an upper level and a lower level.
- Lower depot catwalk: A small catwalk near the control point, connects to a small building that houses a medium health pack.

Trivia
- A Wiki Cap along with some Soldier gibs and an Intelligence briefcase can be found in BLU's tunnels. This is a reference to one of the creators owning a Wiki Cap.[1]
- Outside the RED spawn, a room can be found out of bounds containing an Engineer and Heavy doing the Kazotsky Kick and credits to the map developers.
- A small blue locomotive can be found riding around the upper depot catwalk, which also follows the same track as one of the spectator cameras for the main area.
- A summit cross can be found on the top of the mountain in the skybox, which are common in Germany.
- A RED shipping container with blue paint on it and blue metal sheets attached can be found in the BLU spawn yard.
Bugs
- The far end of the infinite train at spawn stops rendering while it's still in view.[2]
