Insider update - we currently have five gamemodes in the works for R2. Four of which can freely be mixed on the server to keep things interesting. [You do not have to stop and restart the game server to switch from Conquest to Zombie for example - just put the zombie maps right in rotation]. Here's what we got:

Conquest - Standard action, where flags are worth a set # of points and these points drive a ticket bleed. Round ends when the losing team has no tickets left.

Capture the Flag - Each team must defend its home flag from being stolen while capturing the enemies flag and returning home with it. First team to 3 flags returned wins the round.

Armada - Both teams will be given massive fleets of the boats shown in the pic above. A flag will randomly be positioned out to sea. The team who can dominate on the water in that area will slowly raise the flag. Once its up, the other team will be charged a severe ticket loss and the flag will respawn elsewhere.

Zombie - New spin on running and gunning, then gunning and running. Forget the teams! All players will start out as peglegs except for one randomly chosen player who starts out as the zombie. Every player killed by a zombie is turned into a zombie himself and the round ends when all pegs have been converted. Scoring is based on the # of enemies, so those first few zombies will earn major pts for each pegleg caught... but by rounds end, the last surviving peglegs will be racking up the score facing a zombie onslaught.

Also available as a separate mini-mod... We have gotten permission from Sir Elxx and the Battleracer team to enable Rally circuit racing using our maps and boats. We're working on pimping out those little Gnat rowers with the nasty front cannons... but honestly, its been a lot more fun taking the new dolphins and sharks for a spin given that you can jump over piers or submerge below obstacles with them. Thats right - I said dolphins... we're pirates, we can get away with almost anything. LOL
