Hey guys! After a few urgent and mainly game stabilizing patches, we finally had the time to focus on some new game content for you! We renamed the “Deathmatch” mode to “Elimination” and added a new game mode named “Deathmatch”! We think the new naming fits better to the actual modes. Players of the new “Deathmatch” game mode get respawned after a few seconds like in the “GoalTower” mode you already know. Every score a player gets is a point for the team! The mode comes with a brand new map called “Shield” and a modified version of “Cebitus”. Furthermore, we improved the spectator view and assigned the players a number to identify them on the minimap! And we found a sweet place for the player’s name on the gun! Check out the whole changelog below and enjoy the changes!
CHANGELOG [2019.2.1] • 2019-08-14
Added

• Added a new deathmatch game mode where players are revived after a short period of time instead of waiting on spectator towers for the round to end.
• Added two maps specific to the new game mode. One as a variant of Cebitus and one brand new map called Shield.

Client
• The player name and the health are now displayed on the side of the gun.
