Billiards Beta 3
This is the third public beta of Billiards, the new sports map for Team Fortress 2! It's a new twist on team ball-oriented game play. This is an actual game of billiards. Each team must shoot, hit, or blast their color's balls into the pockets before the other team does the same. Don't fall into the pockets! Also, be cautious of the 8-ball... it looks a bit menacing...

NEW In Beta 3!
Change Log:
- Sniper rifle disabled for balance.
- Sudden death kills scoring entities to avoid a team win during sudden death.

- Glass texture of spawn room floors now visible from table top.
- Light props inside light fixture have been changed.

Beta 2 Change Log:

- Billiard balls are now heavier and are easier to direct.
- Custom textures added now make the entire map prettier.
- Spawn rooms added above the map (Inside the billiard light fixture).
- Health packs added behind all pockets.
- Ammo boxes added throughout the table surface.
- Spawn times raised to 3 seconds.
