'''Casbah''' is a community-created [[Capture the Flag]] map.
{{scrapped}}
'''Casbah''' was an official [[Capture the Flag]] map, featuring an industrial layout surrounded by [[water|ocean]], with wide open areas and fighting concentrated on defined chokepoints.


As opposed to most Capture the Flag maps, Casbah is asymmetrical, with visually and functionally unique bases for the two teams.
Casbah was initially added on May 3, 2015 on [[1.9.0]] patch as a testing map by Macd11 & Zorbos, until it was replaced by {{Dev|Tamari}}'s version at an unknown date. It is the only Capture the Flag map with an asymmetrical design and a fixed 20-minute round timer.


== Creator's description ==
On the now-deleted announcement of then-<i>TF2 Classic</i>'s inclusion at "Steam Next Fest: October 2025", {{dev|Nito}} stated that Casbah will "not be returning in its current form" and would be removed from the game during the [[3.0.0|Steam release (3.0.0)]].
"BLU Industries houses some of the world's most advanced drilling technology on a mid-ocean clean-up facility. During the course of business, word of the location of these machines was revealed to the RED Corporation. RED forces soon infiltrated and took base on one side of the facility, the BLU Industries not far away."
 
== Locations ==
=== Overview ===
[[File:Casbah_Overview.webp|center|768px]]
 
=== BLU Base ===
BLU spawns inside a concrete building with a shutter leading outside and a vent leading to a back alley. The back alley leads to the intelligence, which has two entrances far away from the flag. The exterior of the base is open with an elevated catwalk, leading to two small rooms that connect to a larger catwalk in the center of the map. There is also a large corridor with partially retracted bay doors, which is the main route to center.

=== Center ===
The center of the map is a single, wide open chokepoint where the two teams collide. On BLU side, there is a large catwalk above the two points that connects to an elevated platform and the BLU small rooms. The catwalk goes down into another small room that leads down onto RED side. The RED side is slightly more elevated than BLU, with two staircases that RED can defend. They also have a back alley with a side room that drops down into their base. The entire center has an exposed ocean that instantly kills whoever falls into it.

=== RED Base ===
RED spawns in an outdoors area connected to the rest of their base by a single shutter. The shutter leads to a concrete alcove that connects to their base exterior and to their intelligence back alley. Their exterior base has makeshift ramps made of wood planks that connects to their elevated room. The intelligence is closer to the room entrances than on BLU, but with the entrances farther apart.

* It was initially designed to use a unique CTF variant utilizing setup times, setup gates, a round timer of 15 minutes, and have the amount of time on the clock increase by 8 minutes whenever the intelligence was captured. Whichever team had more points at the end of the match would win, rather than the match stalemating. However, this idea was scrapped when the map was added for unknown reasons. The original version of the map with the original CTF logic can be found [https://gamebanana.com/mods/70600 on Gamebanana.]
