+Shutdown2 is a CTF map that takes place in a large pit in a hilly area. Red and Blue have rewired the power generator from a nearby town to power laser fields protecting their flags.
 The key twist in this map is that there are lasers blocking the entrance to the Flag Room. If you touch the lasers, you will explode. To disable them, you must find and disable the power generator located nearby. Once it's down, you have a minute to grab the flag and get it out of the flag room. This encourages teammates to work together (for once!).

 Attackers should try to touch the switch. They shouldn't bother trying to attack anybody in there; they just need to touch the switch. Disabling secuirty will tell your fellow attackers that they can now strike the Flag Room. Sneaky attackers can go inside once the lasers are down and flip the switch one the beams turn back on. The best time to do this is when the "10 seconds remain" notification appears on-screen. Going in before that will drain your attacking squad of an attacker.
-Defenders should have a Sentry, and a HWGuy or Soldier in this room. They should be placed in one of the corners, so that they can catch attackers off guard. If an attacker touches the switch, every defensive unit should relocate to the Flag Room ASAP; enemies won't bother with this room while the lasers are down.

 However, if the laser beams will come online within 10 seconds or less, a sneaky attacker might run in and wait until the security is up again, and then touch the switch immediately afterward the laser beams turn back on. Sending a defender in to clear out Security once the "10 seconds left" notification appears is the best way to prevent this from happening.

 The Top of the Ramp is the primary chokepoint for the defenders because it's the only easly-avaiable path to the Flag Room, is somewhat small and has a resupply room. This room leads to the Flag Room from both paths, but use different ways of doing so. The one parallel to the Resupply room splits to the sides, then connects at the entrance to the Flag Room, while the one perpendicular to the Resupply room has an elevator that leads to the top of the Flag Room.
-Attackers should bypass this area and enter the Flag Room via the Plank. There's usually a large cluster consisting of Sentries, HWGuys, Soldiers and/or Demomen here, making it all but impossible to get past this room without getting lucky or having a competent Spy successfully sabotage the Sentries. If an attacker wants to go through here, he needs to be very fast. Even one minor mistake can cost him his life. Once the defense starts becoming stretched, they'll focus less on this area, making it quite possible to get out of here alive.

Once the defense starts becoming stretched, they'll focus less on this area, making it quite possible to get out of here alive. The sentrys can be taken down, but doing so requires an attacker to stand in the busy Ramp Room and fire at the Sentry for a few seconds. This makes the attacker very vulernable.
 Defenders should place two Sentries here. The slope makes it almost impossible for attackers to attack the Sentries without them being noticed, and they'll rarely get up to the top without dying a lot. However, if attackers catch on, they'll start using the Plank to get to the Flag Room, so defenders shouldn't be surprised if they see that their flag has been stolen without them seeing the perpetrator.

-Attackers need to be on high-alert when entering this area.
+Attackers need to be on high-alert when entering this area. Sentries are everywhere, usually on the upper level. Therefore, anti-sentry weapons need to be out at all times. Coordination between the attackers is neccessary in order to shut down the defense in this area. Some "heavy" classes might be needed to effectivly destroy a large cluster of Sentries and other defenders. Once the defense its down, the attackers need to get to the Flag Room before the defenders get back on their feet.
 Attacking Spies should always enter the Ramp Room via the Underground Path. This allows them to get past the defenders at the front door and doesn't make them look suspicous when they're in their disguise.
 Defenders shold try to have at least one Sentry here at all times. A Sentry placed anywhere on the upper level (especially the strip of land overlooking the entrance to the Ramp) can take out or disorganize a large group with ease. While attackers will eventaully wisen up and destroy the Sentry, nethertheless will take out a few attackers before going down. Once the Snetry is down, it should be placed on another part of the upper area. Once attackers begin to figure out that Sentries are being placed on the upper area, they should be placed on the lower floor, in areas like the corner of the upper entrance to the Laser Control. HWGuys can be placed where Sentries need to be in case there aren't enough Engineers to cover the area or enough time to build Sentries.

 The Flag Room is the crux of the base, as it contains the flag. Unlike other CTF map, the flag is defended by lasers that must be shut down. If an enemy runs though the lasers, he'll be gibbed on the spot. This room connects to the Plank and the Top of the Ramp (via the side entrance and the elevator).
-Attackers should always have their anti-Snetry weapons ([[Super Nailgun]], [[Nailgun]], [Rocket Launcher]]) when entering this area. Engineers like to place sentries in places that are hard to find, yet cover a very large area (such as the top catwalk and right in front of the flag), making it difficult for attackers to get in alive. A Sentry placed on the top or side catwalks can be countered by going in via the Plank crouching, looking for Sentries at those locations, and opening fire. Going into the Flag Room via the elevator in the Top of the Ramp can give attackers a great spot to pick off Sentries, but if there's a Sentry on the top catwalk, it'll tear the attacker into pieces long before he can escape.

 Once the Sentries are down, attackers have little time to grab the flag before the lasers turn back on and/or the Engineers return. At minimum, the flag should be taken past the lasers and into the center of the Flag Room. This allows offense to ignore the Laser Control and focus all of their efforts onto grabbing the flag.
