Official Description[]

We might be annihilated due to the sudden attack fromDrone during the airplane transportation if not forRed Lizard Jim, who allow us to ride onto theBlaze. Secret reports were obtained thatNorman, the guy Jim trusted the most, has betrayed the mercenary.

Jim looked very anxious after he heard that his base camp has been attacked.

We have decided to leave early as we had to transport the samples safely. We will, hence, reorganize our remaining support troops and dispatch them to the base camp.

- From the diary of the transportation supply troop,Commander Victor.

Trivia[]

• "Sidewinder" can be defined as a heavy blow with the fist delivered from or on the side.
• The Singapore/Malaysia blurb is a possible reference toTeam Fortress 2's "Mann vs Machine" game mode, which was released a day after the game mode inTeam Fortress 2 is added.
  • Team Fortress 2's Soldier can be hear yelling "Medic!" faintly in the background.
• This is the only map where background and spawn musics do not play, they only play during the boss stage.
• This map andBlaze are the only 2 maps in Human Scenario that don't have overview. If players spectate and choose Overview mode, they just can see the words "Unknown Area".
