NEW SURVIVAL GAME MODE

The new Game Mode is called Survival. It focuses play on the more abstract and dangerous Survival Arenas where Melee combat rather than Weapon combat is more often than not the order of the day.

  • The Survival Game Mode is for 2 to 4 Players. You can play against each other individually or split into two teams. You can also include AI Players if you wish.

  • The Game Mode is like a twisted mirror image of the Deathmatch Game Mode. The structure of the game has you playing 3 Survival Arenas in a row, and then you play 1 Standard – Deathmatch – Arena for 1 Round. Then it loops back to the start and continues in this manner until one of the Players or Teams win.

  • Rather than aiming for a target number of Frags to reach in order to win, in Survival each Player begins the Match with a set number of Frags – the default is 10.

  • As you play through each Round within the Survival Arenas, Players will be punched off the edge of the Arena, punched into Laser Beams, Death Spheres, etc. and when they do, they will lose one of their Frags. As the Rounds progress, Players will lose more and more of their Frags.

  • When the Match gets to a Standard Deathmatch Round, the Player will be able to pick up Weapons as usual and kill their opponents. For each kill they get, they will get a Frag added to their total – giving them a chance to further extend their lead, or claw back some Frags if they’re falling behind.

  • If any Player loses all of their Frags, they will not appear as a Player Character in the next Round of the match. What they do have is an aiming reticle in their colour projected down on the ground that spawns where their Player Character would have done. They can move the reticle around as if it were a Player, and if they press their Fire button they will spawn a Death Sphere in the air that will fall and land on that exact spot.

  • If they kill an Enemy with a Death Sphere during a Survival Round, that Player will lose a Frag as usual, but if they managed to kill an Enemy with a Death Sphere during a Standard Deathmatch Round, not only will the Enemy lose a Frag, the Player will actually gain one, which will get them back into the game in the next Round. If they can survive the next 3 Survival Rounds without getting killed, they’re back in the game. It’s a tough challenge, but it can be done!

  • A Player or Team wins when all of their opponents have 0 Frags remaining and they still have at least 1 remaining. Simples.

26 NEW SURVIVAL ARENAS
