View source for Map prefixes and suffixes

{{lang|Map Prefixes}}

Common traditional naming conventions for maps for some GoldSource and Source games use a small prefix (often two or three letters) followed by an underscore at the beginning of the map name. For example, <code>de_dust</code>, where "de_" is the prefix and "dust" is the map name. In addition, some custom maps are marked with unofficial prefixes, either to denote its nature or to brand it.

|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Arena Arena]
|Added with the August 19, 2008 update. Kill the entire enemy team, or capture the point once it unlocks.
|-
|height="40px" align="center"|cp
|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Control_Point_(game_mode) Control Points]
|Original Shipping Map Type. Two main variants. One ([https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Control_Point_(game_mode)#Symmetric "5CP"]) gives each team two capture points, with a third one in the center. These points can be captured by standing on them for a certain amount of time if your team controls all points closer to your spawn; the game is won when one team captures all five points. The second variant ([https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Control_Point_(game_mode)#Attack.2FDefend "Attack/Defend"]) starts out with the BLU team locked in spawn and RED team controlling all points. After a brief setup period, BLU must capture all the points before time runs out, or else RED wins.
|-
|height="40px" align="center"|ctf
|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Capture_the_Flag Capture the Flag]
|Original Shipping Map Type. Grab the enemy flag from the base, bring it back to your base, repeat as necessary (usually twice). Capturing a flag rewards your entire team with a brief damage boost.
|-
|height="40px" align="center"|pl
|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Payload Payload]
|Added with the April 29, 2008 update. Like the aforementioned "Attack/Defend" variant of Control Points, except rather than capturing control points, the BLU team must push a cart along a track. Essentially an escort mode.
|-
|height="40px" align="center"|tc
|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Territorial_Control Territorial Control]
|Original Shipping Map Type. A series of small, semi-random "stages" with one control point owned by each side. Capturing the enemy point ends the stage and pushes them back, allowing you to attack their next point. A team wins when they capture all points on a map. There's only one official TC map, <code>tc_hydro</code>.
|-
|height="40px" align="center"|plr
|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Payload_Race Payload Race]
|Added with the May 21, 2009 update. Like Payload, except ''both'' teams have a cart to push, and instead of one team owning the points at the start, each team has a different set of points they must capture.
|-
|height="40px" align="center"|koth
|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/King_of_the_Hill King of the Hill]
|Added with the August 13, 2009 update. Each team has a timer that starts counting down when they capture the single control point. The other team can stop this timer by taking the point from them, which starts their own timer in turn. A team wins when their timer reaches 0.

|-
|height="40px" align="center"|mvm
|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Mann_vs._Machine_(game_mode) Mann vs Machine]
|Added with the MVM update. A player-versus-environment mode where a team must cooperate to hold off sucessive hordes of robots.
|-
|height="40px" align="center"|rd
|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Robot_Destruction Robot Destruction]
|Not yet officially released. Like Capture the Flag, except instead of bringing back a flag, you must destroy robots in their base and pick up the "cores" they drop. A team wins when they pick up enough cores, but the other team can win by sneaking into their base and stealing from their core vault.
|-
|height="40px" align="center"|pd
|align="center"|[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Player_Destruction Player Destruction]
|Added in the Invasion community update. The two teams duel each other, gaining pickups upon killing enemies. At regular intervals, a deposit point will temporarily become available where either team can turn their pickups in. A team wins after depositing a certain number of pickups.
