Closed Beta Test Wave 3 Information
Start Date: TBA
Good morning,
I am posting here today to talk about an upcoming Half-Life 2 modification that is focused on skill and competition. Revolt: The Decimation has the potential to be the next greatest E-Sport. How exactly? Well, a good start is that Revolt is not a cone-of-fire based shooter. There is no rolling dice in this mod since the bullets will go exactly where you're aiming for. You will need to learn to control your recoil, and you will need to work as a team to be of any use to your squad when the bell sounds. In order to kill your opposition, you will have access to a number of guns in this first release of Revolt. The current weaponry in this closed beta, which is accessible by both teams is as follows:
- AR15 with Holo sight
- AR15 with Acog sight
- AR15 with a Sound Supressor
- AK47
- MP5
These 5 weapons are the current weapons that you are able to spawn with. There are also 4 auxillery weapons that can be found on the battlefield. These include:
- M14 with a Red Dot Sight
- M14 with a Fixed Scope
- Shotgun
- Rocket Launcher
While using these weapons against your opponents, you will also be tasked on completing objectives in order to get your team points. This is the entire focus in Revolt's current gametype that goes by the name "Clutch". The objective in Clutch is to get one of your team's players to reach the other team's goal. You must accomplish this while being in posession of the cone that is in a central location of the map. If you are able to score a goal, your team gets 1 point.
To give you an example of how a round of Clutch would go, I will briefly go over one of the maps that are currently in the beta test. This map is called "Battery". In Battery, both teams vie for control of the middle traffic cone that is situated in the center of the map. The only way to get to this traffic cone is by using the bridge that can be raised and lowered by use of a control switch opposite the cone. If this bridge is raised, you will not be able to reach the cone. In order to lock-down the control of this cone, it is advised that you keep this bridge raised and keep the control switch secured. Enemies can gain access to this switch either by the caves which lead directly to the control switch or by going through the building and underneath the bridge. Once your team has posession of this middle traffic cone, your team must push forward to the other team's goal in order to score a point.
We are currently looking for competitive teams to give us valuable input to help this modification reach its potential. If you think your team will be able to assist us, please send an inquiry (to pre-register your team) to [email protected] with Epitaph - Wave 3 in the subject heading. Also, if you could please tell me the name of your squad, a way to contact you, a brief history of your squad in the competitive scene and your current roster that would like to assist us in the testing.
Thank you everyone who took the time to read this. Here's the latest trailer for your viewing pleasure: 5v5 Beta Match in Revolt: The Decimation
