As additional Flashpoints unlock, the spawn locations of each team will be of generally equal distance to the currently activated Flashpoint.
If the Flashpoint is being contested by a member of the opposite team currently not in control when the capture progress reaches 99%, Overtime will activate until either the team in control can remove all remaining opponents off, or until the contesting team can retake control of the Flashpoint.Ī point is scored when a Flashpoint is fully captured by a team, however, gameplay continues when a new Flashpoint located somewhere else on the map is activated, and both teams must immediately race to capture it. Capture progress for Flashpoint is like the Control game mode, but plays out faster.Ī point is captured by a team once a Flashpoint reaches 100% capture progress. Gameplay begins with both teams pursuing a central objective called a Flashpoint, aiming to capture it before the opposing team does. Combined with the Iron Man lock, this makes Ardennes Assault particularly tricky.Flashpoint is the newest core game mode available on two of the biggest maps to date: Suravasa and New Junk City. Hell, moving through enemy territory on the strategy map (which you’re often forced to do in order to engage somebody) will cost you some. Even a successful mission where you’re diligent about healing up wounded squads and lose relatively few troops will cost you a fair bit of strength. Missions can be attempted multiple times, but each of your three companies has limited strength and this depletes as you undertake military actions. It was refreshing to be able to screw up like that, but this expansion is also pretty heavy-handed in the way it applies attrition to your forces. My first efforts floundered around two-thirds in and the rest of my review time has been spent replaying earlier missions to see whether Relic’s claims about dynamic structure hold water. As a result of that I haven’t seen every single mission this expansion has to offer, because I’ve not yet made it through the full thing. Just as in XCOM, this means you can reach a point in Ardennes Assault where you simply have no chance of progressing and may as well restart.
