• Choke: The choke connects the pipe room and mid, with a staircase and bridge leading to the point.
• Pipe Room: The pipe room contains a medium health and ammo pack and connects second and mid.
• Yard: Yard separates mid and flank and has a medium health and ammo pack.

Control Points 2 & 4

This section of Metalworks is quite large and encompasses a flank, building, and point.

• Flank: The Flank connects the yard with the point, and contains a medium Health and Ammo pack and a very narrow chokepoint.
• Bridge: The bridge runs along with the point, and sits on top of a medium health and ammo pack, with a shutter and staircase leading to the building.
• Point: The point leads into a room containing a small health and ammo pack, that is connected to the shutter room and one of the flank entrances to last.
• Shutter Room: The shutter room contains a mid health pack, shutter door, and a flank entrance to last.
• Drop Down: Connecting pipe room, yard, and second, drop down contains a small health and ammo kit.

Control Points 1 & 5

Metalworks's last point is made up of a bridge and several exits leading into a building.

• Spawn: The spawn opens up onto a large area behind the point, with a small ammo pack.
• Shutter: The shutter separates last from the building.

Update history

July 7, 2016 Patch #1 (Meet Your Match Update)

• Metalworks was added to the game.

August 16, 2016 Patch

• Adjusted the height of the ceiling in the room behind the second control point.
• Added some slight visual detail to various concrete rooms throughout (team color stripe).
• Adjusted the height and width of various doors throughout the level. Mostly focused on primary paths into combat areas, with an eye towards standardizing door sizes where possible.
• Fixed an angled playerclip brush above 2nd control point that players could surf on (thanks Photon).
• Adjusted height of 'tank' in L room behind 2nd control point.
• Moved two tall spotlights back into a clipping brush at mid to avoid very small collision issue (thanks Bilbert).
• Adjusted some clipping issues by turning rooftop brushes into displacements/func_brushes throughout the map and disabling collision (thanks Bilbert).
• Clipped off some glass windows at 2nd.
• Added crate to cargo containers at mid, allowing Scouts to get onto the highest cargo container.
• Added props to the clipping ramp around the final control point to indicate collision.
• Replaced brush fence on the platform in alley with a metal prop to solve an asymmetrical shadow bug (thanks Bilbert).

December 21, 2016 Patch (Smissmas 2016)

• Updated cp_metalworks to fix a texture problem.

Bugs

• It's possible to build in the first RED and BLU forward spawns.
