Battlefield Utah Format

Battlefield Utah 2008 has several new objectives and game format changes, including Special Forces Teams, new flag layout and point system, new objectives and special missions.

Field Layout:
The field is laid out so both teams have an equal opportunity for points and base assaults, including a center flag, a base flag, and four neutral flags. See diagram for specific flag/base layout.

Flags:
Center *Flag has a controlled radius of 15 paces. Players have ten seconds to enter the radius and make their color change. Any player who remains within the controlled radius for more than ten seconds is eliminated. The team controlling the center flag will receive one point for each minute their color is raised.

Neutral Flags have two colors. The team controlling will receive one point for each minute their color is raised—for each neutral flag.

Base Flags only give points on the half-hour mark, regardless of how long the flag is raised. Teams will get 20 points if the opposing teams base flag is captured and raised on the hour mark.

Special Forces:
The two teams will also have a “Special Forces” group that will have their own base and missions as they sustain their team’s efforts in capturing flags.

Special Missions & Objectives:
Downed Pilot: Each team will have the opportunity to locate and extract a “downed pilot”. These missions will be clearly marked. The Team General will be notified the moment the pilot’s location is determined. Teams who rescue their downed pilot and return “him” to their dead box within 15 minutes will receive 50 points. Teams capturing the opposing downed pilot objective and returning it to their base will receive 15 points.

Nuke: The “Nuke” is an objective that can only be obtained at 14:00 from the Center Flag. The team with their color raised at the Center Flag at that time will receive a nerf rocket and a launcher. When the rocket is launched, wherever the Nuke impacts will be classified as “Hazardous,” and will remain active for 30 minutes. Any player who steps within 12 paces of the bomb is eliminated, regardless of what team the player is on.

Sniper: The Sniper Mission is limited to 3 pre-designated “Special Forces” players. FIVE balls of a specific color and fill will be given to the “Sniper” who is challenged to eliminate a clearly marked person behind the enemy lines within 30 minutes. The position of the “target” will be explained as the ammunition is delivered. The Special Forces Commander is encouraged to keep his team ready for immediate response to this assignment. Teams who complete this objective will receive 50 points. Both teams will be given the chance to complete this objective.

VIP Delivery: This mission is limited to the main teams. A clearly marked (obnoxiously decorated) person will be escorted from the assigned Team’s Elimination Zone to a specific location within 30 minutes without getting the VIP shot. Teams who complete this objective will receive 50 points. Both teams will be given the chance to complete this objective.


* The center flag is not an actual “flag.” It is a “flip-stick” which is basically a broom stick with two colors painted on it that gets flipped and stuck in a piece of pipe to expose one teams color.

Team Recon rules will be their.

It will be good to have you guys out. Its good to see a good mix of bunker jockeys and tree humpers out on the same field having a good time. I guarantee we will be well organized and there will be plenty of refs. It looks to be hot but we will be brining water jugs and our mister tent to cool everyone down.

so we register as a player or as a group of players?

[Danger Dan]

Register as a player but when you get there just let us know you want to be on the same team.
