new map this weekend

This weekend's DevPick features the Premium arena Overlord, a large and open Capture the Flag map set inside a twisting valley. Two bases at either end are protected by a series of structures and cover. The twist on these matches however are the inclusion of rechargeable jetpacks and the disabling of all other holdable items on the map.

While the Jetpacks are not new to our faithful DevPick following players, when combined with the outdoor areas of Overlord, will open up a new set of skills in combat, where you must now worry about tracking people in all 3 dimensions in the sky.

Railguns have been provided near the bases though, so you may want to choose your rune at spawn wisely; although the speed and no self health damage of Scout is certainly alluring, choosing Guard or Armor Regen might greatly increase your life expectancy. While a quick flag grab and run may work on some opponents, another very effective strategy is to pitch a tent and camp the enemy's outpost, which holds some health, a Railgun, and a Yellow Armor. From here you are able to put constant pressure on the enemy defenders, and help create an opening for your team to grab the flag and emerge victorious.
