An expansion/overhaul mod of epic proportions, with entirely rebalanced gameplay, expanded factions, new gametypes, graphical overhauls, and five new factions; stealth-based Confederate Revolutionaries, tower defense-inspired Atomic Kingdom of China, economy-focused Mediterranean Syndicate, DotA-esque Order of the Talon and spammy Electrical Protectorate.
One of the last features we decided to slot into .92 is a new map with our new Take and Hold gametype. This is a Critical Objective from Take and Hold; by capturing it with an engineer, you begin to generate victory points; first team to a thousand wins!
You may also notice an unusual flag flying from the point...
Nicely done
it could be a confederate flag, or maybe it's a flag of an minor faction...
Confederate.
repair?
Don't tread on me? Anyway, crying of awesomeness.
flag is so huge....
Nice idea, will there be more of these 'nodes' like 3 on a map? And whoever owns the most generates more points etc.
hmmm it could be good!
does it die? like other neutral buildings or is it like ore node?
Will we have the firebase objective, radar objective, Bank objective, and the other objective?
Not this patch.
What are these 'objectives' you speak of?
It doen't die. Its like a neutral tech structure that reverts back to nobody owns it after its "destroyed".

thanx
"Don't Tread On Me"?
That wouldn't happen to be inspired by that propaganda poster I made a few months ago that Sketch and Ferriswheel liked so much, would it?
Magnificent piece of work :)
Nice going there guys, keep up the good work :)
*Takes a look at the flag*
...It's a snake?
It's the Gadsden flag, a famous early American flag based on a political cartoon (one of the first ever) by Benjamen Franklin of the 13 Colonies making a snake, with the title "Don't Tread on Me!"
I thought the cartoon said something more along the lines of "unite or Die"
Don't Tread on Me, you filthy Allies! This is my control point!
Administrator: "The control point is being captured!"
Red Spy is in the base!
Alert - The Control Point is being captured!
The enemy has received additional time. >:CCC
That engineer is a spy!
Get on Ze point,dummkopfs!
Before you're pointing at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
Nothing comes easily
So don't you tread on me
'Cause I will knock you down
"ALERT! The control point is being contested!"
make that "Red Alert - our control point is contested!" and I will ask for no more
nice
What I fear is that alot of errors will come out when we try the game...
Awesome, gotta love the Gadsden!
Cool, should make an interesting game feature!
Should limit the build radius around it to unbuildable by like a 3x3 square or something just to stop supreme wall building (or something) around it. Just saying might be a good idea. Of course if the goal is destruction of it then artillery works mighty well too.
There is a large dead zone around each objective where you cannot build.
Oh well looks like you guys are ahead of me :P
YAHOOO!!! new gamemode! will be new maps?
Not in this patch, but new maps, along with maps for Search and Destroy, Assassination, Pitched Battle, and whatever else there is will be released eventually.
SNAKE?
SNAKE?
SNAAAAAAAKEEE?????
