After many subtle hints from the TF2 blog, day two unveils 'King of the Hill mode'. So you have to defend a CP? But what is different?

Gameplay begins with the point initially locked—after a short time, it will open for capture by either team. Once the point is captured by a team, their team clock will start a three minute countdown. If the enemy team manages to capture the point back, their clock will start counting down while the other team’s clock freezes at the time the point was recaptured.

With a new game mode we will obviously be getting new 'koth' mode maps. The first is a brand new map called Viaduct (see below) which is the first TF2 map with snow. Two other maps are being converted for koth, nucleus and sawmill. See the full update here
