Easier, yes.. but not impossible. What I envision is cp_gravelpit with a path straight to C. The defensive team usually doesn't even try defending A and B both.

However, if that screenshot is the last point... it looks like you'd have to be a double-jumping scout to get to it like that. Looks like there's a bridge that expands, probably as other points are unlocked.

Guess I'll see when I play it!


Can you say, Sentry hub?


Yup. That's my fear; that you'll just have everyone defend there right away and use the time it takes the bad guys to cap the secondary points to set up defenses.

At least for engineers.  It's not much different than a lot of the other maps only it has some extra fun.  Sometimes, I've seen great defenses of other points end up leaving enough time for the engineers to develop a good defense for when those points inevitably fall.

Alright, alright. Check this shit out. From Valve's TF2 blog.

"We've been a little quiet for the last week as we've put the finishing touches on the Heavy update. We thought the Pyro pack was the biggest we'd be doing for a while, due to the large changes to the Pyro, but the Heavy update has turned out to be even bigger. In addition to the three unlockable weapons and thirty-five achievements for the Heavy, we've got a new game mode with five new arenas for it, a new Payload map focusing on more open spaces than Goldrush, and another popular community-made map. Throughout the rest of the week we'll be giving you the details on all this, and if all goes well, you'll have your hands on it shortly afterwards.

The community-made map included in the Heavy update is cp_steel, by Jamie 'Fishbus' Manson. After the Pyro update we received a lot of email telling us how wrong we were in our choices, and cp_steel was an easy next choice due to the way it dominated the suggestions. If you're firing up your email right now to tell us that we never get anything right, please include suggestions of what map(s) we should be looking at next."

Snipers are going to have a field day with all the heavies running around.....that is unless the heavy gets some sort of helmet that lets him survive one headshot.

Anyhow I'm looking forward to the heavy update and the new map.
I'm the leetest one here

slower swing speed. making a kill with them awards 5 seconds of 100% criticals. use them as you like.
