Looks ****in stellar tbh, very unique looking as you said. I imagine there'll be some great moments where teams get desperate trying to snipe off the Inkling on the tower! Looking forward to it

I heard it is similar to something in TF2. So is this like a capture the flag without holding a flag yourself?

It's a bit similar to the Payload game mode in TF2, which is completely fine by me because that was my favorite game mode. This has a bit more of a tug (or I guess push) of war aspect it, which could be really fun.

I was SUPER excited to hear that. In Payload, I had a fun time as a spy pretending to push but then killing everyone near the cart. Melee doesn't seem to be as strong for this for that purpose though, but I'm still super excited to play this!

For those who are unfamiliar: Payload

That mode is damn good fun in TF2, so I have no doubt this will be a blast as well.

Yeah I will want to play melee in turf war primarily but tower control will force me to play more with the other guns, which i like. I'm glad that this was shown today. Payload is what i played a lot of in TF2

Payload is one of the best TF2 modes and the fact that this is getting a variation of that is something I didn't soon expect.

I'm hyped.

Yeah, man I cannot wait for this game. Looks very interesting, Snipers will be deadly in this mode.

I love Payload in TF2 and the tug of war aspect is a great twist on that.

I think this will probably be my favorite mode once it comes out.

Tower control? You mean Payload? I really cannot see how you could ever go wrong with Payload.

Looks like we'll have tons of Ranked Battle modes and only one Regular mode, but it makes sense as they want new players to try out Turf War! This new mode looks great!

I forgot the name of the Tf2 mode during the direct, but yeah it instantly reminded me of Payload and I love it!

Glad for the confirmation of another ranked mode that brings another unique twist to an already awesome game mode.

Payload and KOTH are my favorite TF2 game-modes. I'm excited. Looking at the maps it's obvious they used the design philosophy of using chokepoints and tight-corridors to provide tough spots to push through while also making player placement VITAL.

There was a custom payload map in TF2 that I played a few years ago which had only 1 cart that could be pushed back and forth by both teams, so this is pretty much that same as that. I loved that map so much, it was pretty much the only map I played in TF2 back then. I don't know if there are any similar maps to it around now, but when I tried searching before I never found any after the only server that ran that custom map shut down.
