This looks like it may be a bit of struggle, team work will definitely be required for this map.

@Andrew Doull: Yeah, that works great in places like the 2fort loft, but perhaps not a ledge as high as this one.

Vertical combat as a pyro works great. You can hit the legs of a sentry on the edge of a ledge and remain impervious to its fire.

Or better yet the legs of the engineer standing next to it…

And a good day to be a scout or spy, for the first time since Badlands was released.

Fewer chokepoints, wide open spaces and vertical combat; sounds like a bad day to be a Pyro :(.

One long stage, hmm? I’ll be interested in how they’ll solve the Blu Reinforcement Run problem – they surely can’t just be relying on teleporters. Although it’ll probably be something simple like spawn points moving along with the cart.

Holy shit I just realized that the bomb has “cry some more!” scrawled across the front! And to think, I called myself a TF2 player.

This new map sounds awesome. Glad to see open maps with really high areas.

New environments are coming... They've already been talking about them on the TF2 blog.

Where’s the jungles, snow and other varied terrain that TF2 should have?! I’m tired of fighting in the desert.

Nope. I would guess that’ll be tomorrow, with the final 2 updates being the 2 new weapons.

If the heavy IS getting a sandwich, I really, REALLY hope they save that reveal for the day of the update’s release on Tuesday. That will just turn all of the internet into a tizzy.
