PHOENIX

Phoenix is a four-point Payload map set amidst the fiery red rocks and lush forests of the American Southwest. The map features a sprawling and elaborate yet intuitive layout that rewards player experimentation, offering a varied and unique gameplay experience in every match. BLU must escort their payload through vast winding canyons and densely layered industrial facilities, concluding with an intense uphill battle to the top of a cargo elevator in the heart of a massive dam construction site. The map was officially added to Team Fortress 2 in the 2023 Summer Update. I was responsible for developing the layout from initial sketches to final art pass. Game and assets created by Valve. Additional assets created by myself, Liam Moffitt, Nickolas Fenech, and Stuffy360, with scripting of the finale elevator by Neal Smart. The map now comes included with every copy of Team Fortress 2. To load it, type "map pl_phoenix" in the developer console.
