TF2 Day 2 Update Provides King Of The Hill Game Mode

The Team Fortress 2 team has released its Day 2 update as part of the Classless Update. This time, they announce a brand new game mode - King Of The Hill! KotH game mode will be a very intense fight as each team is trying to essentially be, King of The Hill. This means your team must hold capture point for three minutes while defending off the other team at the same time.

Gameplay begins with the point initially lockedafter a short time, it will open for capture by either team. Once the point is captured by a team, their team clock will start a three minute countdown. If the enemy team manages to capture the point back, their clock will start counting down while the other teams clock freezes at the time the point was recaptured.

As part of the new game mode, they have released KoTH_Vladuct a map made specifically for KoTH. The map is filled with snow at a secret underground base located somewhere at the south pole. Both teams start at the base of a low hill, and will have to climb to get to the capture point at the hills peak. The various elevations of the map and multiple routes to the central point guarantee some frenzied battles as the point changes hands during gameplay.

They have also modified Nucleus and Sawmill and came up with KOTH_nucleus and KOTH_Sawmill which provides the KOTH game mode for both of the two maps.
