PLAYERS:

12-32 players.

FEATURES:

Each flag is protected by a door opened elsewhere in the map. The button to open the enemy team flag door is located some distance away on the 2nd storey of their tall "pillar". Sirens at both the pillar and flag room indicate that a flag room door has been opened.

Two extra routes into the opponents territory are available if your team holds the command centre (located in the centre of the map). When the game is started, the blue laser beam security signifies that only the blue team have access to these switchable routes. If the red team try to pass blue lasers, they get killed. They can use the console in the control room to deactivate the blue lasers, with red lasers coming online. Obviously the red team can now use the switchable routes, with the blue team being killed if they try. Also, players can conc jump or rocket jump over the upper most sets of enemy laser security.

There are a few doors that toggle open/closed via buttons. This was intentional (as opposed to them opening whenever someone stands in front of a door, and closing shortly thereafter) to allow players the choice of having them permanently open to improve the flow, or closed to help defences "lock down" an area.
