In a small village somewhere deep within the Italian Alps, BLU team lays siege to a suspected RED munitions depot.
Fortezza publicity blurb

Fortezza is a community-created Attack/Defend Control Point map added in the Smissmas 2024 update. It is set in a snowy village within the Italian Alps, where BLU assaults the RED-owned Moschetto munitions depot.

Fortezza was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Control point A

Control point A is located right in front of a double portcullis, that lifts up and clears the way once it is captured. In front of the point is a well.

  • BLU Spawn: BLU team has a single spawn room featuring two exits.
  • Flank House: Located just to the right of BLU spawn, it serves as a flank route around the Bell Passage.
  • Bell Arch: Two church bells and their adjacent supports form an arch over the main street that leads to control point A.
  • Stove House: After passing through the Bell Arch, the Stove House, named for having a cast iron stove, is located to the left. Sandwiched between it and the Shortcut is a path leading to control point A.
  • Street Underpass: On the right side of the Stove House is a gently descending street that passes underneath a small balcony.
  • First Shortcut: The First Shortcut is located just to the left of BLU spawn. Once control point A is captured, its double wooden doors open up, allowing BLU to bypass the Bell Arch.

Control point B

The second control point can be found just before the "Moschetto" ammunition factory and the RED spawn inside it.

  • Second Shortcut: The Second Shortcut is located just to the left of control point A. It is used to bypass the locked portcullis behind the first control point.
    • Low passage: Located within the Second Shortcut it a small opening in the wall, just tall enough to allow crouching players to traverse it, that leads to a medium health and ammo pack. It starts out closed, but eventually opens up following the capture of control point A.
  • Warehouse: A large building made out of mortar that leads to the Overlooking Hut.
  • Wine Cellar: Below the main street that leads to control point B is a large basement containing Wine Barrels.
  • Overlooking Hut: When viewed from RED's perspective, it is a small brick building located to the left of control point B. Due to its slight elevation advantage, it offers a good view on the majority of the final point.
  • Battlements: Behind the second control point and overlooking it is a terrace connected to the RED team's spawn.
  • RED Spawn: RED team has a single spawn room featuring two exits.
