TOWER MODE COMING TOMORROW

[MagnaX7]

You mean the Squiffer. The Squelcher is a shooter, not a Charger.

Always forgets what it's called. Squiffer just isn't a name that sticks in my head.

Yes. Ranked is getting Rainmaker next month as well.

so why not call regular battle just turfwar

Looks like I'll be going back to Ranked Battles just to see how this mode works out.

Also, thank goodness I don't have to give up my Splash-O-Matic. I bet the Suction Bomb Rush will ensure that the opponents never get on the tower!

My thoughts exactly. For a moment I was in fear thinking, that I'd have to go for a weapon with more range - but Suction Bombs should be really, really good in this mode - and the Splash-O-Matic will be more than good enough to take down enemies on the ground.

This game mode is going to make me even more nervous then Splat Zone.

Guys, I LOVE THE ICE CREAM TRUCK JINGLE
This ain't ice cream boyz, it's THE SOUND OF YOUR TEAM LOSING

So the tower will move more quickly if you're moving it over an area you've already covered?

 

[MagnaX7]

At least is isn't as one sided as Splat Zones. Also: MORAY TOWERS FIRST GAMEPLAY!

Tower control looks super duper fun. Gonna enjoy it so much more than splat zones. New map looks neat, though spawn campings gonna be annoying.

Eh, I'm not sure. The various paths up the towers are spread over a surprisingly wide area, and given the stage's extreme vertical nature, players can probably find ways to not just slip past, but "fall" past anyone who tries to spawn camp. Also worth noting the spawn point itself is up on a glass pillar - while it's invincible anyway, there is an extra high-ground element that may or may not help the "home team".

If you'Re getting spawn trapped, then your team is doing something really wrong.
