Trivia
- Rumford is inspired by a paper mill located in the town of Rumford, Maine, USA. In keeping with the setting, Rumford includes signs in both French and English, reflecting the close proximity of Maine to the Canadian border. Additionally, the map features an active rail line, the Rumford Rail Company, which is based on real-life rail companies.[1]
- A secret room near checkpoint A can be revealed by shooting four deer cutouts in the out-of-bounds areas of the map.
- The numbers on the buildings represent the phone area code for Maine, which is 207.[1]
- Some of the "employees of the year" posters are a representation of the map's contributors.[1]
