The first map in the BattleNodes series is called Orbital Core, and revolves around the dispute between two factions over a large space platform. A fight for supremacy, resources and honor begins!
More maps with different terrain and layouts are being planned, although at this time we are focusing mainly on the launch of Orbital Core, as every new map will use this one as a template.

Gameplay Description (work in progress - subject to change):

• players will choose between Red Team and Blue Team
• each base is protected by automated turrets and force fields
• there are several specializations you can choose from including but not limited to:
