Highpass is a community-made King of the Hill map set in an industrial area within the desert. Both teams attack through their industrial bases, fighting to be the king of the central control point, which is located on the middle bridge. There are multiple routes to approach the central point. The vertical design and the height differences between the areas ensure a unique gameplay.
The goal is to capture the single, central control point and control it for a duration of 3 minutes, while stopping the other team from doing the same.
The general idea and layout of the map was made by Psy, the creator of Nightfall. The map was later adopted by Bloodhound.
Locations
- The Bridge: At the center of the map, a basic bridge holds the control point. On top of the bridge are two concrete blocks, which serve as cover. Below the bridge is a medium sized health kit.
- The Yard: Each team has a yard leading to the control point. The yard has two houses, serving as a preparation or fall-back position.
- The Industrial Houses: Each team has a row of industrial houses serving as a border, which separates the fighting area from the spawn area.
- Spawn: A house with two exits, which is serving as spawn and starting point of each round.
Strategy
- The Yard has a wooden platform with cover which can be used as a Sniper deck.
- The buildings in the Yard are a great opportunity for Engineers to support the team with Teleporters and Dispensers.
- The platforms on the side of the Bridge can be used for Sentry Guns or as a Sniper deck.
