Synopsis: This Gamemode starts very similar to “Capture the Bricks” with both teams scrambling to collect bricks and return them to their brick well. Each team starts with a single brick well which acts as the teams spawn point and brick collection point. Both teams contain three classes, guards, medics and builders. The guards must protect the medics and builders. Guards may also destroy enemy buildings to gain points for their team. The builders must build structures such as vehicle and weapons factories. The builders must build and repair these structures which are vital to their team’s survival. Medics can heal injured units and revive recently deceased units which have not yet entered the respawn queue. Guards may upgrade their weaponry and armor via a weapons factory once a builder has built one. Medics can upgrade their weapons and armor but they cannot wield some of the larger weapons. Builders cannot upgrade their weaponry or armor at all and must make do with their initial loadout. Various vehicles can be built to aid in a team’s success. At the end of the round kills, bricks collected, buildings built and buildings destroyed are added up and the winning team determined.
