Assault is a map that seemingly portrays an occupied, outdoor series of three connected facilities, possibly owned by the Black Mesa Research Facility.
Landmark Comparisons
Spawn: In the Net Test 1 version of this map, the player spawns on a wooden platform suspended in the air by a metal support beam. A advertisement for Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms [1] shows the Spy Class climbing a rope over to the Power Generator Room. It's unknown if the Power Generator is still located in that room when it was ported to TF2:BoA. There are a hand-full of differences seen between what's in the Net Test 1 Leak and what's seen in the advertisement, as pictured in the screenshot below.
- The bridge that the player spawns on appears to be even more broken and shorter in TF2:BoA, making the process to get to the Generator Facility much more difficult.
- The mountain around this area of the base is not flat in TF2:BoA, instead having more edges and looking even more like an actual cliff-face.
- The skybox is completely different in TF2:BoA. The Net Test 1 Version uses the skybox that was first seen in the map c2a3c.
The Power Generator has 2 valves. The one of the right activates the Generator itself and the one of the Left opens a nearby door that has 4 HCEU Soldiers inside.

Bridge: There is a bridge in the middle of a huge canyon with a small body of water at the bottom. This bridge area has been seen in screenshots from Valve's Team Fortress that originate from a website called "planetfortress", and were later preserved on the Valve Archive.[2] Unlike the spawn area and the Power Generator, there are only a small number of changes from the Net Test 1 Version, and what's seen in Valve's Team Fortress. What's not seen by any screenshot of VTF is the end of the bridge where 2 turrets are placed slight above the ground and behind 2 sandbag barricades. What's worth noting is the high placement of the turrets, implying the model was recompiled, but not the origin of the entities on the map. It's possible the turrets were replaced with mounted machine guns for Valve's Team Fortress but nothing can be said definitively.
- The bridges' support beams in the Net Test 1 version stick out of the left and right-hand sides of the bridge, breaking apart the guard rails. Those parts that stick out were removed in Valve's Team Fortress.
