The TF2 developers call the new Badlands map a vertical map, I don’t see this. To me it’s just as horizontal as 2fort and Hydro. Before you read any further watch the walkthrough video embedded below. There are battlements like 2fort and one of the Control Points is up a spiral ramp. If you play on it there is very little shooting up or down. And no more rocket sticky jumping than on any other map. I never really played a lot of TFC and maybe I just haven’t played it enough to really understand.
