This map plays out like a regular Attack/Defend map, BLU plays the attackers while RED plays the defenders. The goal of the attacking team ([[BLU]]) is to escort the [[Civilian]] to capture three control points. The goal of the defending team ([[RED]]) is to defend these points until the time runs out. If the Civilian is killed, 30 seconds gets removed from the timer.
=== Point C ===
A much larger connector offers three routes to Point C, each a large distance away from each other, each choked by multiple shutter doors. There are two battlements overlooking the point: one which RED team has easy access to, and another which BLU team has easy access to. Capturing Point C wins the game, and reveals the VIP's car situated in a long and dark tunnel.

After capturing the first point, RED team's spawn is moved back, and BLU team's spawn is moved forward, right next to the capped point. In addition, the former RED spawns are now open to BLU team for resupply. BLU team can use this to keep the attack going and take down the scattered RED defences for a quick capture of the second point, assuming that the VIP doesn't get backstabbed on the way by a [[Spy]].

The city's not all too different from the desert: you're still fighting through grimy, derelict buildings on a dead-end industrial site, a few miles away from anyplace worth actually living in. Escort the Civilian through all three points to his luxury car, and don't be afraid to get messy; the murder rate really can't get any higher.

Death & Taxes update page

Point A

RED team starts at a forward spawn between Point A and Point B, while BLU team starts in an initial spawn area with three different paths. Two paths are elevated above the main road, while the third path is seated in a tunnel with a steep road. The exterior has multiple cars and crates blocking the way, as well as a square building overlooking the rest. There are numerous routes to get to the Control Point, including two side rooms with health and ammo. When Point A is captured, the shutter doors to Point B are opened, BLU gains a forward spawn at Point A and a second resupply where RED's initial spawn was, and RED's spawn is pushed back to Point C.
