Please be sure to leave your feedback from the recent test here. Separating each bit of feedback into different categories such as feedback on the mode itself, and feedback for individual levels, or feedback on specific features specifically within CTF.
Capture the Flag
- Feature: Capture The Flag
- Capture The Flag has two variants. 2 flag and 1 flag.
- 2 flag is like traditional CTF. Capture the enemy flag and take it back to your base.
- 1 Flag has a central flag location, that you then need to take to the enemy base to capture.
- CTF Rounds last up to 12 minutes depending on the level settings. If after time is up and the score is even, the game will enter a 1 minute "Overtime".
- Once the round is up, teams will swap sides of the map.
- CTF has a new respawning system. Instead of having a limited number of lives in a round there are now "infinite" lives. However, respawns are no longer instant, and each class has a respawn timer. Reinforcement point count, and total player count is taken into consideration.
- 1 Life Classes: 40 Seconds
- 2 Life Classes: 24 Seconds
- 3 Life Classes: 12 Seconds
- As part of the new respawning system, you can also change classes mid-round. However, this will give you a much longer respawn timer of 48 Seconds on your next respawn.
- Flag Carrying Restrictions: Certain abilities cannot be used while carrying the flag, and will drop the flag on use.
- Force Speed
- Force Mind Trick
- Jetpack
- Droideka Roll
- Wookiee Rage
- Flag Carrying Debuffs: Certain abilities get debuffs when used while carrying the flag
- Force Jump - Drains more while using jump. (2x)
- When a flag is dropped, it cannot be instantly picked up and it will have to be recaptured.
- In beta there will be 3 modes tested. Instant pickup, hacked pickup, and capture area pickup. Instant pickup is like classic CTF. Hacked requires hacking the flag like a console for a few seconds. Capture area means you need to stand in an area around the flag until it is secured.
- Each flag and base has a 3D Objective icon and radar icon on it. If a flag has been taken its 3D icon is not always visible, but will periodically flash on the screen instead.
- Capture The Flag has two variants. 2 flag and 1 flag.
Known Issues
