http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15870 - DevPick June 10-13: Overlord Jetpacks
SITE NEWS | Jun 10, 2011 | sponge
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.
