The official Might and Magic website brings word that a multiplayer update for Dark Messiah is on the way very soon. In addition to general optimisations, map changes, character class tweaks, and other alterations, Arcane is also adding a new Capture the Flag game mode.
They’ve even provided the rules of play so you can be one step ahead of the competition when the new mode is rolled out.
- Defend your team’s flag while stealing the enemy flag.
- You must have both flags at your own base to score.
- Scoring a flag will give XP to all players on the scoring team.
- Returning your own flag also gives personal XP.
- Flags will not appear until there are players on both teams, and the ‘battle begins’ timer has finished
- Picking up a flag will slow you down, disables your weapon and briefly highlights you to the enemy team.
- Pressing fire when holding a flag will drop it and allow you to fight (be careful not to pick the flag up again when fighting)
- Dropped flags return to their base when touched by their team, or after 20 seconds.
You’ll also find two new maps to accompany the new CTF mode, inventively titled CTF_1 and CTF_2.
