Misquotation, its(sic) not something to take lightly, one slip of the tongue could spell disaster down the line.

For example the very well known expression ' An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away', is not the full phrase...

'An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away, But an Orchard Attracts Shady Corporations with Hired Guns! ' is the full quotation.
Applejack publicity blurb

Applejack is a community-created Capture the Flag map added in the Summer 2024 Update. It is made of two opposing farming complexes comprised of barns, sheds, and housing surrounded by team-colored apple orchards, each for the RED and BLU team respectively. A large population of harmless chickens also inhabit the area.

Applejack was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

  • Spawn Room: A square room with two exits and a resupply cabinet. The right exit leads almost straight to the Intelligence room.
  • Spawn Yard: The area immediately outside the spawn room.
  • Intel Room: A small room with two main doors on opposite sides. A small portion of the room has a higher floor and is partially covered by some computers, which also cover a third, smaller door facing the spawn.
  • Intel Yard: An open area next to the Intelligence room with a large ammo box and a medium health kit on a wooden catwalk. Most classes need to leave through the Intelligence room, but open windows of the team's building can be accessed through jumping techniques.
  • Team Building: Each team has a massive building separating their spawn and Intelligence rooms from the center of the map.
  • Garage: The room with a truck full of apples.
  • Balcony: A balcony overlooking the center of the map.
  • Waste Area: The lowest section of the team building's interior, containing radioactive and biohazardous barrels. Part of the dirt ground is under very shallow water.
