Our Goals

Maps & Modes

General

• We have added more vehicles across the board. This will improve the amount of vehicular combat present in BTB by adding in more of the mechanical mayhem we all know and love
• Flag Placements have been updated to increase the number of Flag Steal attempts and successful Flag Captures

• UI Markers for Power Weapons and Power Equipment are now enabled.
