MI6 and Janus fight for control of key military satellites. Capture and control Uplinks while preventing your opponents from doing the same!

Gameplay

Once the round begins, a number of Uplinks appear around the map. Uplinks are marked by circles on the radar and colored glowing rings and flags. When a player enters an Uplink, a capture initiates. The more friendly players on the Uplink, the faster it captures. Enemy players can block the capture by entering the Uplink. Once the capture completes, the Uplink changes to the capturing team’s control and generates a point for the team every few seconds. In free-for-all mode, capturing an Uplink provides the player points, a small amount of health or armor and causes the Uplink to shift to a new location.

Team Scoring

Points are generated over time for each Uplink Point owned by the team.

Player Scoring

  • 1 Point per kill
  • 2 Points for completing an Uplink
