Basic Information
Map Type: Capture the Flag
Version: Release Candidate
Developer(s): Patrick "MangyCarface" Mulholland
Download Link: TF2Maps.net

Wildfire is a rather simple Capture the Flag map focusing on strong combat arenas broken up by arches to prevent unfair sticky escapes. It uses an unconventional CTF mode, with cap-at-flag and touch return mechanics, meaning that you capture the enemy flag by bringing it to yours, instead of a capture zone, and you can make your dropped flag return to your base by touching it.

Wildfire takes place in a small industrial center surrounded by a crackling forest fire.

Wildfire was created for the TF2Maps.net Competitive CTF Contest. It won first place, finishing above Deliverance and Fusion.

To win your team must capture the opposing team's Intelligence continuously until you reach the game's capture limit (default limit is 3) whilst preventing the enemy from achieving the same.
