Spawn

Each team spawns in a small mineshaft whose gates open at round start. Outside they are led to the arena, which is a circle with four pipes leading into the watchtower. There is a tunnel leading to the below area, with each corner filled with a small pool of deep water.

Watchtower

The watchtower holds the Control Point, which can be accessed through the pipes, stairs, or holes in the roof. Unlike every other map in this game, the windows in the watchtower can be broken, leading to a delightful display of fluttering glass and novel opportunities for bullets to come through.
