Convoy is a standard CTF symmetrical map. It consists of 2 moving rocket carriers racing side by side through the desert. The map idea was inspired from a UT2K4 map, however this map features a completely original design created specifically for TF2 CTF gameplay.
Like any other CTF map, your team must capture the opposing team's Intelligence continuously until you reach the game's capture limit while preventing the enemy from achieving the same.

This is the basic overview of the map Convoy.
The Carriers
The two carriers are somewhat identical (but differs in colors). These two big moving vehicles are connected by two bridges and are large enough to support a fight aboard them.

The Bridges
These two big carriers are connected at the tail and at the rear wheels by two tight bridges which are the only way to enter each carrier...

Changelog
V1:
- Release
V2:
- Fixed exploit that allowed engineers to build on the ground.
- Fixed exploit that gave one team an advantage by allowing any class to crouch jump on top of the rocket from one of the rails on only one of the vehicles and not the other.
- Fixed the wind effect so it doesn't affect rockets.
- Added a new bridge that is closer to the spawn area and is shielded from sniper fire.
- Added allot more open area in the lower storage room to build up a defense against those entering through the newly added bridge.
- Added lots of cover around the spawn area, and behind the intel room.
- Replaced the upper bridge with jump pads which launch players from one side to the other.
- Added a team specific one way door to the storage room outside the spawn to reduce spawn area spamming.
- Removed the capture music clip to reduce file size.
- Removed some props that crowded some cramped areas.
Triva
- The moving background is the map's skybox. The canyons in the background loop to create an allusion of moving vehicles.
- Additionally, a CP version of Convoy exists, though it was not created by the original map maker, jahrain. It was made by Schmoe as a tribute.
