Here by popular demand, a non-event KotH Megalo! Beware of moving trains while fighting over the iconic three-layer dynamic Capture Point! — Megasnow publicity blurb

”

Megasnow is a community-created asymmetrical King of the Hill map, a Halloween-themed version was added in the Scream Fortress 2020 update.

Megasnow was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Train

The center platform has three tracks crossing it, one for each of three levels, and it raises and lowers periodically. There is a bottomless pit below the point that kills any player that falls in. The platform starts at the bottom level, then raises to the middle one, then to the top one, then lowers back to the bottom one, then repeating this cycle. Once raised or lowered, the Ghost Train passes through using the level selected by the platform, but always arriving from the same direction on each level.

The Train's schedule varies from about 20 to 60 seconds between each run. On the middle and top tracks, clanging bells and flashing lights warn of the passing Train, but these warnings are not given on the lower level.

Locations

• Turntable: A circular rising and falling platform where the control point is located.
• The Pit: A pit with train tracks overlooking the point, one on each side.
• Underpoint: A wooden platform underneath the point with a medium ammo pack and small health pack.
• The Stairs: A set of stairs to access the Underpoint and spawn.
• The Factory: Fringing the Pit on either side is a building, with a sheltered Catwalk leading to the Ledge.
• The Valley: The small low area behind the Factory between the Spawn area exits.
• Spawn Yard: Between the Spawn and the Valley is the Yard which gives way to the three entrances to the Valley.
