Overview
This guide will walk you through the various game modes you can play with your friends. Please let me know on discord at Bobthecowwwww#4235 if you have any more game modes you would like to add or if there are any errors.
CTF (Capture the Flag)
Capture the Flag is the default game mode for RFMP and can be played on all maps except Temple Push. The recommended player count for CTF is any number above or equal to 2 (although it’s more fun with more people and if the number is even).
Rules:
1. The primary objective is to capture all flags or score 100 points more than the other team (or more depending on the game length)
2. All vehicles and weapons are allowed
Monthly Prize Match
The monthly prize match is just like CTF but the person with the highest score at the end wins the “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!” role on the discord and maybe even one month of Nitro Classic! The recommended player count for the monthly prize match is any number above or equal to 10 (although it’s more fun with more people and if the number is even).
Recommended Rules:
1. It is a regular RFMP match: eagle vs raven CTF.
2. The score for any given player in any given match starts at 0 and increases by the number of flags that player’s team has every time that player kills a member of the opposing team.
3. Deaths are not factored into scoring. Hence, being killed due to auto-balance should not affect anything.
4. No switching teams except if forced to by auto-balance.
5. Team-killing is NOT advantageous. For each team-kill, you will get -1 kill (and consequently a lower score).
6. Everyone on the winning team for any given match gets +50 score.
7. For balance sake, NO (ABSOLUTELY NO) helis.
8. No use of any glitches. Map exploits are allowed, however.
9. Cheating in any way (auto clicker, etc.) will result in an immediate DQ.
10. It is the event organizer’s duty to balance the teams
11. Absolutely NO BEING TOXIC.
12. The person with the highest score will the “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!” role and one month of Nitro Classic.
