Developer(s):	{{{map-developer}}}

Dustbowl (Training) is a map designed to familiarize new players to the concepts of Attack/Defend gameplay. In Training Mode, the player experiences normal game situations, but competes with and against bots instead of human players. The bots are set by default to a relatively low difficulty level, as they often move in straight lines and stand still while they shoot.

Introduction video

The training version of Dustbowl uses the exact same introduction video as the original cp_dustbowl

Goal

BLU is attacking and must capture both control points (A and B) in all three stages to win the match. RED team must prevent BLU team from achieving their goal by successfully defending their respective control points.

However, team switching is disabled in this training version of Dustbowl; because of this you are forced to participate on BLU team, which is the team on offensive.

Round 1

The first round introduces you to basic mechanics of gameplay, specifically the capturing of control points. The round is also intended to allow you to apply the skills learnt in Target.

The teams change even as one progresses through the levels.

These are the teams at the first capture point:

BLU (3 players)	RED (5 players)
Soldier† Soldier Heavy	Soldier Soldier Heavy Scout Scout

These are the teams at the second capture point:

BLU (3 players)	RED (3 players)
Soldier† Soldier Heavy	Soldier Demoman Scout

^† This represents the player's class (the other participants are Bots)

Control Point Timing

All Control points have the same capture times.

Control Point	Multiplier	Seconds
All control points	×1	6 .000
	×2	4 .000
	×3	3 .273
	×4	2 .880
