How to change the default map on a Team Fortress 2 server

Summary
Setting the default map on a Team Fortress 2 (TF2) server involves configuring the server's startup settings to load a specific map when players connect. Server administrators can choose a default map, where players begin when joining the server or when the previous map ends.

2. Stop the server.

3. Go to the Startup tab.
