Team Fortress 2 Level Analysis

I chose to do the control point Badlands level in Team Fortress 2 for my multiplayer fps analysis.

Level Description:

As this introduction video describes, the objective is to capture all five checkpoints in the level for your chosen team. Each team can take, defend, and recapture lost control points during the game by having a team member stand on a point for a set amount of time. Like the name of the level suggests, it takes place in a desert environment with kind of a cloudy purple sky, maybe around dusk?

The major areas of the level are the team's starting points/bases, the second control points on top of some rocky hills, and the middle check point area by the train tracks. In this level there are many, many different routes a player could take to get to any of the control points. This makes for fun gameplay because the player has to be on the lookout for the other team and has to constantly choose whether to pursue the available checkpoints or defend the ones they already have.
