what kind of tiem limit do you think is best?

it gets better with a time limit, OR WITHOUT

we need some sort of hide window people are gettign overwelmed by text up above i ought ot be able to hide the indepth rules.

mm lets see if that holds up rember folks i am willign to change my idea to suit the comunity

That actually sounds pretty fun. One of the better game mode suggestions I've heard.

the game is over when one side has captured all control points

"That would never happen, though."

surprisingly it would and it would often happen fast this game mode as based off a similar game mode in TF2 and when building the base settings i considered how easy a stalemate would be a problem and so did they

in my original post i stated the countermeasures employed and if you aren't just trolling me or nitpicking then you will realise that the chances of stalemate start going down hill once one team starts getting ahead if you STILL aren't convinced then i recommend you go download TF2 from steam as its now free and play a match of control points.

its a tried and true game mode.

I think this is a brilliant idea. I have thought of similar ideas in the past. I hope this game mode is implemented.
It reminds me of Team Fortress

To the place where the file you took a picture of is.

I know that this is a wrong place to ask,but where do the screenshots that I take in slab6 go?

i like the idea :D

the game is over when one side has captured all control points

That would never happen, though.

tug-of-war

5 control points set in a line from one base to the other each team can not capture another control point unless the preceding control point for that side is captured

control points are 3 blocks wide and 3 blocks long and are unmissable and you can't build directly on top of them standing on them starts to capture it for your side.

the game is over when one side has captured all control points

optimally a game ought to end with one team winning and not in a stalemate

the team with the most control points has faster re spawn times if a team controls the point b4 the enemy's base point then they will spawn in the center point

EDIT: 2ND edition modifications READ

now teams will spawn at the control point b4 the contested control point if the control points where say B 1 2 3 4 5 G where B & G are bases not control points

with 3 as blues foremost control point and 4 as greens foremost control point then the blue team will spawn at 2 and the green team will spawn at 5 in the event that blue has captured 4 and is attempting to capture 5 then the blue team will spawn on 3 and green team will spawn at G if 5 is captured blue wins the game

spawn periods are 15 seconds and spawn times are reduced by 3 seconds for every control point you own EXCLUDING 1 and 5

ALL control points spawn a pick up that can only be picked up by the team that owns it this pickup fully refills health and ammo if the other team grabs it refills health and ammo equal to half your maximum only 4 pickups will be spawned at a time and they have a 1 minute re-spawn timer.

capturing a control point has 15 points for every second each player stands on the control point it drains 1 point more people drain standing on it speeds this process up
every teammate that's within 10 blocks of the control point in any direction will drain .3 points per second from the control point

point damage will remain constant until repaired to add points to your control point stand on it this will add .5 points per second YOU CAN NOT REPAIR A POINT PAST ITS MAX OF 15 POINTS AND ONLY ONE PERSON CAN REPAIR A POINT AT A TIME

if all the points form a control point are drained it is changed to a neutral CP neutral CP's are not classified as contested and there four if green turns control point 4 from blue to neutral then blue team will STILL spawn at 3 until green captures 4 completely. how ever blue will not get a spawn time reduction for 4 as it is no longer under there control

if a control point is gray any team can repair it for 1 point per one second well standing on it if the other team as repaired some points then those points must first be removed and are removed at the rate of 1 point per 1 second the control point will only be changed over once it has been FULLY filled with a teams points bringing your teams standard to gray control point will remove the standard from the player and instantly change it to your team with out having to first drain the other teams points from it THIS DOSE NOT WORK ON POINTS THAT ARE COLOURED TO A TEAM

STANDARD: the standard is a bit of a way to mix things up a standard is a banner in either teams foremost uncapturable control point (the one you spawn at) that can ONLY be picked up by the team that owns it the standard doubles the capture rate of a control point (if carried) and is instantly sacrificed to instantly capture a neutral (gray) control point by touching it. standards WILL NOT spawn in your base in the event that your on your last control point (1 as blue 5 for green) then no standard will be available.

I do like this game mode, but maybe taking blocks away for scoring points is not such a good idea, it's a bit too simple and doesn't encourage any sort of team work. but like i said already, i like it. keep up the good work

I made Newfort to play this game mode, check it out, Aloha servers have it running right now :)

I for one really enjoy the game mode. Had a lot of fun with cats eye too :)

@Triplefox, Im really looking forward to trying this one out!

Problem is the water squares.

but yes, there should be towers that cant be destroyed that you need a member of your team to be in a certain radius to "own"

it's a lot of fun, feels more rewarding than ctf because you experience progress incrementally. makes the gameplay more dynamic because you can gain and lose anything anywhere on the map at any time.

i think of it as sandbox teamplay because you can be doing whatever you want - building, destroying, tunneling, etc. - and still be helpful to your team even if you're alone in the middle of nowhere. grouping up with a teammate or two can be that much more helpful though!

kind of reminds me of Risk, conquering and holding that land.

i played this the day before yesterday..its aweosme :D

I thought the game mode should have been something like 1-5 small territories placed in the middle of the map that teams had to fight over.

Great gamemode, terrible map.

I love how if you throw some grenades your feed is full of "you now control x,x at C5" or w/e
Still, I was expecting greifer heaven, but the game is actually normal. Still, not many people actually play the objectif and put their 50 blocks down when they spawn.

1. Clear out tower
2. Start digging at its foundations
3. Get teammates to work with you
4. Earn 9001 points for all 4 center sectors

@Coldheiser: Griefing alone can not win a point because every block the other team removes also adds to their team's score. Also, open water sectors can not be captured without massive building projects.

I think griefing is way overpowered. Why building when you can just grief everything and get more points?

nice, good work.

Over the last few days I've been working with izzy to bring this game mode to life. After trying many different prototypes, I think we've found the "true" gameplay of this mode with the "Cat's Eye" map running on aloha now. At this point I think it's ready for more public comment.

This is how the game mode works(taken from the wiki page I wrote up):

In this mode the map is "controlled" by placing or removing blocks - so building on new ground is one way to gain territory, but tunneling into enemy territory and destroying their structures can be even better, since it removes control from them at the same time.

Each x/y coordinate controlled goes towards a "sector" score - each grid area is a sector. Controlling more blocks than the opponent wins the sector. Each sector controlled is worth 1 point per tick(of 30 seconds).

Scoring only adds the balance of points: If Green and Blue control equal amounts of area, no points are added. If Green controls 1 more territory it gains 1 point per tick.

CTF gameplay remains active but you can add a high cap limit to discourage it.

The Cat's Eye map is designed as a sort of offspring of Pinpoint and Hallway; the big central tower plays a major role in providing sniping positions, while the surrounding area is just high enough to allow trench warfare. I've been surprised to see what people are doing with it :)

So, Its like payload.. But with a driver, Not on a settrack..?

dino ftw!!!!

YES DINOSAURS :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

yeah, but i still think that trucks is better and dinosaurs is masterfull
i want dinosaurs, sorry for getting a bit off topic but dinosaurs is a really good idea
