What is this new mode?
Assault but both ways.
2CP but more depressing.
It’s basically 2CP but boiled down to the mayhem that ensues when you’re trying to actually take the point. The long walks and choke fights from 2CP have been removed.
It’s a mobile game where you create a little fort/town and attack other people’s bases with your troops. Your clans clash.
So it’s literally the same as Flashpoint or I’m missing something?
Not really. It’s a lot more compact - the 5 points are in a line, and the spawn moves up or back as you take or lose them.
the walk between points are a lot shorter, the time to capture a point is shorter, the time you have to defend said point is shorter etc

The snowball-iest mode you can think of for a game that already tends to snowball like few fps games out there.
Noice
so what, you have to rush back to maybe get 1 opportunity to retake? 2 fights per is already pretty rare for flashpoint, if its much shorter having to defend at all is kind of pointless
i didn’t have an opinion on it, was just stating how it played out from memory lol chill
It’s 5CP from TF2, basically verbatim.
It’s like a mix of Control and Flashpoint with 5 points in roughly in a symmetrical line. Players need to capture the center and then move on to the next point. You can capture all the way to the end, so about 3 points worth minimum if you reach the end, or capture 5 points worth of objectives. So, if a team is back and forth in the center, first to 5 wins.
I think it’s better than flash point in some ways but it can be more hectic and almost non-stop action from when I tested it. They are implementing a some sort of “group respawn” so hopefully that should help mitigate straggling but we’ll see.
5 points in a line…start with middle point
Win → go forward to next point
Lose → go back to previous point
Spawn rooms for each point you’re on
Take 5 points or the final point at any time and your team wins
A linear nightmare.
chill? my man, I asked a question and stated why. I wasn’t attacking you, just saying how the devs dont seem to understand their own game
Push game mode in a straight line but instead of pushing a bot and trying to reach the end with it or go further than the enemy before time runs out you have to capture points and either reach 5/5 by reaching the enemy side or have 3 or more points captured to win when time runs out.
What is this new mode?
It’s finally a logical new game mode that fits 5v5.
We already got to play it a few months ago and it was a blast.
The new map looks superb. Juno and this new game mode ar the only riveting part of the season. The rest is kinda trash, as always and I’m glad all the skins are awful 'cause it means I won’t waste any of my currency.
