Overview

This gameplay mode mostly works, but it does have some minor bugs:

• The In-Game messages to the flag carrier tell the player to take their "flag" to the next command point, but you have to use the briefcase model.
• The command points numbers only work in the attackers in the captures messages ("You secured Command Point 1"), not for the directions to the next capture point messages ("Take the flag to the Command Point" rather then "Take the flag to the Command Point 1") or the Defenders loss of capture point messages ("Attackers Secured Command Point !!").
• Broken scoring system that adds 30 kills to the "Kills" tally of the player that captures a command point, but actual no points to their score.
