Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could build an underwater research facility, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
Hadal publicity blurb

Hadal is a community-created Attack/Defend Control Point map added in the Summer 2024 Update. The action takes place inside an underwater research center that was built by scientists. There are four control points on the map, with the Main Core control point always being active. If the Main Core control point is captured at any point, the round ends immediately. After each control point is captured, several doors will open and the Main Core control point will be raised up.

Hadal was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

  • BLU Spawn: The room is located at the beginning of the underwater research facility and has a total of five exits. The spawn room also features a submarine and a map blueprint. On the left side of the spawn there are three exits that lead to Sector A. On the right side of the spawn there are two exits that lead to Sector B.
  • RED Spawn: The room is located almost in the center of the map and has six exits in total; it also has a lift to the top and map blueprint. There are two exits on the ground floor. The first exit leads to Sector A and Main Control Point, and the second exit leads to Sector B. The remaining four exits are located on the second floor, which lead to Sector C and Main Control Point.

  • The submarine in BLU spawn is modeled after the submarine from the unreleased Borealis area of the Half Life games.
  • In RED's first spawn area there is an orange toolbox with an emblem similar to the Half-Life 2 logo. This is a reference to "The Orange Toolbox" a collection of mapping utilities developed by one of the maps creators, Fubar.[2]
