Another map from the same leak called cp_clearcut which was last edited on March 17, 2009, 8 months and 8 days before the last time any Map Maker at Valve stopped working on cp_caves which contained an early version of the final Capture Point. There are several differences between cp_caves and cp_mountainlab. This article will go over content within the map that's unique to it and differences between cp_caves and cp_mountainlab
2006 Bandlands props
cp_caves has 2 objects that have missing models by default, which can be seen in the hammer editor. The models that are missing are spytechjetpack.mdl and spytechhelmet.mdl. These spytech models alongside various other unused models were found in a SFM (Source Film Maker) Beta leak. The folder the spytech models can be found in relate to a list of props for a 2006 beta version of the map, cp_badlands.
