Welcome to the Frontier!
This is a single-stage payload map with 4 control points for BLU to capture. It is designed to address some of the problems with payload maps, namely the tendency to push forward hard and then bring the cart up afterwards., and the overall advantage towards RED/defenders.
To this end, in Frontier, players push a train! Meet Lil' Chew-Chew, the Engineer's latest invention (though the Pyro contributed in design ideas.) This payload is a large mechanized train engine with the ability to run over anyone in front of it- contingent on at least 3 players pushing him along.
To capture points in Frontier, simply stand on or close by the platform Chew Chew trails behind himself. He will absorb all frontal damage, and so RED is forced to apply a very loose, flanking defense in order to stop his progress. Extensive playtesting has been done to both ensure fair and fun gameplay for both BLU and RED and each individual class, with special attention paid towards weakening overpowered sentry locations. This map is tested mostly in a 32 player environment, as gameplay scales downwards better than upwards. Recommended for 14-32 players, as offense will receive a large advantage with any lower.
