Sometimes the Protector can spawn near an occupied base; once spawned, the Sentinel will periodically move around the map before stopping briefly. | ||
To "take" the flag, a player must move a unit to pick up the flag; the unit will then have to be protected for a set amount of time. While holding the flag, the unit is visible on the map to enemies even when in the fog of war, and is able to fire at enemies like normal. Once the unit has taken posession of the flag, a timer is shown on screen for two minutes; the player must defend the unit until this timer counts down to zero to earn a point. If the unit is killed, the flag resets and the point is not earned. A team requires three points to win the game. | To "take" the flag, a player must move a unit to pick up the flag; the unit will then have to be protected for a set amount of time.
