'''Steel''' is an Attack/Defend map consisting of 5 points. Whenever a point is captured, something on the map changes. Doors open and close, platforms extend, or red spawn changes. Due to its complexity, Steel is a map that brutally puts a team's cohesion to the test.

 +
Attackers: Attackers only get one spawn, however, as they capture A, B, C, and D, they will cut off more and more spawns for the defenders.
 +
 
 +
Attackers objectives is to capture E in order to win a game, which is located in a chasm where only scouts and explosive/bullet/selfdamage jumping classes can get to
 +
 
 +
To assist, capturing C brings a drawbridge to E, and capturing D puts railings on E
 +
 
 +
In a stopwatch map, capturing E counts a capturing all 5 points (does not count as "one point")
 +
 
 +
The A,B,C and D points have to be captured in order, while E can be capped at any time (while it takes a exceeding long time to cap, the cap time for E does not change depending on how many points the attackers own)
 +
 
 +
Defenders: Defenders start off by holding A, the only capturable point, while the attackers two spawns open
 +
 
 +
At this point, defenders only hold A, however attackers may choose to run though B (without being able to cap it) to E
 +
 
 +
After A is capped, two routes (one to E, one to B) open up and the attackers can choose to attack E or B
 +
 
 +
After B is capped, defenders lose their primary respawns (from A, B, and E) and are given a backspawn, connecting to E, D, and C. Any people left inside the primary spawn will be teloported to the backspawn with medics keeping their ubercharge, etc.
 +
 
 +
Routes to C from B are opened up, at this point, the entire map is accessible, however accessing D is very hard as defenders have a joint backspawn very close to C which connects to D
  
−
'''Steel''' is a non-linear [[Attack/Defend]] map consisting of 5 points.
+
Capturing C opens a drawbridge to E, allowing the heavier classes to cap as well as removing the defenders backspawn advantage to C
  
−
Steel centres around point E, the site of a rocket launch. BLU must capture E by standing on it to win, while RED must defend it from being captured until the round timer counts down to zero.
+
Capturing D gives the drawbridge railings and removes the Defenders backspawn from E and D (at this point, defenders only have one spawn at D!)
  
−
BLU can capture point E at any time, but this is very difficult as the point requires certain classes to reach, and it is a slow point to capture and very exposed. To assist them in taking E, BLU may choose to attempt to capture the other four points instead, which reshape the map and extend the round timer to make it harder for RED to defend. These points, A through D, must be captured in order.
 
  
−
Capturing any point will extend the timer. Point A will open doors to point B, D, and E for BLU. Point B will open a door to point C, and move RED's spawn quite far away to point E. Capturing C makes bridges slowly extend to point E, so all classes can capture it. Capturing D puts railings on these bridges, and blocks off some of RED's spawn exits so they must travel the long way around to reach point E.
 
  
−
The large amount of potential choices to be made on this map, for both RED and BLU teams, makes it an excellent arena for skilled strategists and good team players.

* There is a currently a map exploit where a Pyro can shoot flames through Big Door. It only works from the Lobby side. Flames cannot be shot back from the Point A side. This may or may not be considered legal in your league, so just be aware of it and don't stand near the door. As an attacker, do not send your Pyro to shoot through the door. The Pyro is more useful in the fight, rather than trying to get cheap kills using a map exploit.

====Notes & Strategies====
 
−
* When attacking, contesting point D using the C-D Connector can be tempting but risky. This is because it goes past two active Red spawn doors. This should only be done with either Uber advantage or advantage in numbers. Otherwise, it is safer to regroup in lobby. While this does take longer, it's better to not to risk losing your combo.
 
−
* Because the doors connecting red spawn to Point E become locked when Point D is taken, Point D is a critical point for defenders to hold on to. Point E is much harder to defend if Point D is lost.
 
−
* When defending, the Red Engineer will often not build a sentry on point D. The spawn doors locking after Point D is taken makes it very difficult to build a sentry on E.
 
−
* When a sentry is built on D, it is typically built at the top of Stairs. From there, the sentry will be able to reach every point of the room except for Elbow, which requires wrangling to scare off enemies harassing the sentry.
 
−
* When attacking Points D and E, it is wise to get a teleporter set up. The most common places to set up a sentry nest are Control Room, Beck, and Secret (near point B). Control room is the ideal place, since it gives easy access to both D and E points. A teleporter in Beck or Secret is only useful when contesting Point E.

* When defending, the Engineer will typically try to build on Balcony. Wrangler is required to reach Platform, Blu Batts, and Lobby.
 
−
* When defending, if the Engineer can't get a sentry up before the spawn doors lock, consider using Gunslinger.
 
−
* When defending, try setting up a teleporter in Lime. With the spawn doors locked, a teleporter can be very handy.
 
−
* As said above, attackers should try to set up a teleporter in Control Room, Beck, or Secret.
 
−
* Red combo will typically hold in D-E connector or at Point D. These areas are the safest from spam and snipers.
 
−
* If a player falls off, they can sometimes save themselves by trying to land on Pipe. Pipe will lead to Lower, which can then lead to Point C or Beck.
