Glacier Progress & Gameplay Vlog

We decided to provide our fans with a more up-to-date snippet at how things are coming along. Instead of a live stream we opted to go with a quick video showcasing bt_glacier, a map concept rejuvenated by one of our outstanding, potential PVKII Developer Hurtcules. Dreamed up by ParrotofWar in a layout contest, and sliding from mapper to mapper, glacier has finally found a home. Hurtcules has been hard at work on the map, with the help from Koko and his testers, so keep an eye out for more in the coming months. Glacier is now entering the detail phase, and we hope to show you more of this fun map in the future. Check out the Development vlog below! https://youtu.be/MuOAYv6d69c

Game Modes

Booty

Booty is a unique version of Capture the Flag. Players fight each other for treasure chests filled with gold and jewels. Bring chests back to your base and hold onto them to win the game.

Territory

Territory is a king of the hill style game mode, where teams fight for territories throughout the map. Hold onto the territories for as long as you can to win the game.

Trinket Wars

Trinket Wars is the caffeinated version of Team Deathmatch. Teams must gain control of their trinkets, and then use the power of their trinket to destroy their enemies.

Last Team Standing

Last Team Standing is exactly what the name suggests - all three teams square off, fighting to the death. The last team alive wins the round.

Objective Push

This game mode can range from a simple break-in and destroy your opponents' bases, to a more advanced sequence of map-specific objectives. The only limit is the mapper's imagination!

Team Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch is a fight for dominance. Teams square off against one another to see who can rack up the most kills. Like the other game modes, you should stick together to achieve victory!
