Description :

A 3-stage Payload map for Team Fortress 2
On stage 2 and 3, there's also a Capture Point to allow the cart to continue on its path.

After BLU's plane crashed in the cambodian jungle, they encountered RED team wandering around a khmer temple, so they quickly decided to just blow it up ... They'll need to bring their explosive-filled cart from their plane, to the temple entrance up to the top of the temple and drop it in the sacrifice pit !

Installation :

Just extract the .bsp to your "..\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\download\maps" folder.
