Capture the Flag is an iconic game mode that most shooters today have in their arsenal. It is simple, challenging, engaging, and most of all, fun. Finally, that and two other modes are coming to Quake Champions.
We played Quake Champions before. It is a nice nod to old-school shooters where your momentum and aiming skills play a large part in your kills to death ratio. It seems like the game improved even more over the year, and now we are getting some brand new game modes. Those are always nice, especially if they are Capture the Flag, which everyone wanted to play as soon as possible.
The test servers will be getting this game mode as well as two other soon. So CTF is pretty self-explanatory, you have to take the flag and run with it. Just keep in mind that you can’t use any abilities when you’re carrying it. The other modes look fairly interesting as well. Slipgate is a 4v4 mode where you don’t respawn, and the teams are split into offense and defense. The attacking team has to destroy the slipgate before it opens up completely, while the defending team has to keep it safe.
Arcade Mode is like a rollercoaster ride of random. The developers have basically come up with the idea of making tech that can constantly make new gameplay modes where the rules constantly change. For example, you could be playing a “rockets only” mode at first but then switch to a mode where Champion selection is random each new time that you respawn.
You can read more about these game modes and other additions on their official blog.
