isnt conquest one of the ones that are out already?? i thought it was CTF and coliseum or something that wasnt in yet

The official game modes, as recorded in the game menu, are:

Crusade: Most of the server is running this. This is the campaign that spans 5 maps that goes from map to map until time runs out or one of the stronghold falls.

Capture The Flag: Not available at release. Originally announced for the next patch but now the patch notes are taken back as "unconfirmed data". According to the announcement, it's pretty much standard CTF fare, except that you cannot attack anyone while carrying the flag.

Coliseum: Not available at release. Not slated for the next patch and no idea when it'll be available.

Deathmatch is not official I think, I'm guessing they currently run on heavily modified servers running modded crusade maps/custom maps. It is, afterall, the easiest game mode to implement.

But that's the all the official news I can recall. Patience will do the rest of the work, hopefully.

I think they might be concerntrating on getting the current modes working for all players first. Which IMO is reasonable. Although I am hanging for colloseum.

I think CTF will suck so bad, you will have alsorts of characters planting orbs, brambles, poison clouds and just generally spamming fireballs and AoE attacks at the flag. Let alone detonation orbs...

Nobody will get near it.

Synocourt -->"Nobody will get near it"

Ha! I can see it now...

Gereral: "Soldier! Pick up that flag and run it to the other end of the field!"

Cannon Fodder: "B-B-B-B-But me Sir!? Why?!"

General: "We need to get that flag back to our base for the glory of Stonehelm!"

Cannon Fodder: "What about the mages with the lightning orbs and the fire-balls!?"

General: "Just run around them, you'll be FINE!"

Cannon Fodder: "Ummmm....okay...."

*Fodder picks up flag and get blown to smitherienes....*

What a great scenario CTF will be, indeed...

and then Mana pickups the flag near the dead body and jumps over every mages head (with a bit of help from Safe Guard) and gets a capture!

I already did some CTF testing and the warrior seems to have his shield up, so even if he can't attack he can block
