The Sniper to the Soldier

Gravel Pit is an Attack/Defend Control Point map. It was one of the six maps included with Team Fortress 2's initial release.

Like all Attack/Defend maps, RED always plays defense and BLU always plays offense, and once the BLU team has captured a control point, it is locked and can never be retaken by RED. The map differs from other Attack/Defend control point maps in that it allows the attackers to capture the first two points (points A and B) in any order before assaulting the final control point (point C). Points A and B are directly accessible from the BLU base, while they must cross through one of them in order to reach point C. RED's base is located near point C.

The objective of Gravel Pit is that BLU must attack and capture all three points in order to win the match. A and B must be captured before C can be. The objective for RED is that they must hold out and prevent BLU from capturing the final point C. Time is added to the countdown if BLU captures either points A or B in order to buy more time for capture point C.

Junction, an official community made map, shares the same gameplay design with Gravel Pit.

Overview of the map. (Large file)

Capture point A - The Radio Tower

Capture point A is to the left as the player exits the BLU base. The point is at the top of a hill, inside a building. There are two exits from the BLU tunnel to this area, and they allow access to the two ramps around the outside of the point. A Medium Health pack is under the capture point. There are also two Medium Ammo boxes near the cap building, one to the front and one at the back of the CP building. From point A, there are tunnels that connect to points B and C.

Capture point B - The Radar

Capture point B is to the right as the player exits the BLU base. The point is in the large structure in the center of the area.

Capture point C - The Laser Gun

Capture point C is past the first two points, and adjacent to the RED base. The tunnels leading to the other capture points are on a higher level than the ground in this area. The capture point is located at the top of the central structure.
