Too dust, too bowl.
After nearly two decades, BLU gave up trying to recover the abandoned mineshaft-but-secretly-a-rocket facility complex that is Dustbowl. So they sought to destroy this other nearby weird complex RED owns, which was previously a hotspot for terrorist attacks a long time ago: Dust2bowl!
Built off the CS:S version of Dust 2, using some layout changes from CS:GO/CS2. Special thanks to the TF2Maps Discord!
BOTS ARE BUSTED IN THIS MAP! Due to some bulls--- regarding the bomb and TF2 NextBots, BLU bots will run to the bomb and stand still, unless a player grabs the bomb, in which case they follow the player. RED bots won't even bother leaving. (In TF2 Classified, they run straight to mid and stand there.) I have no idea how to fix this and it doesn't seem like it could be fixed.
================================================== INCLUDES PLANTING/DEFUSING MECHANICS! Works the same (kinda) as ordinary control points.
BLU has a couple minutes to take the bomb to a site. When dropped, the bomb stays for thirty seconds before resetting back to outside BLU spawn. To plant, stand on a point/site with the bomb on your back for five seconds to plant it. This sets the round timer to forty seconds. BLU now has to keep RED out before the bomb explodes.
RED has to essentially keep BLU out of the sites. When a bomb has been planted, stand on that same site for five seconds to defuse it.
