Game Modes



Advance And Secure Routes (AASv4) Added new game mode: AAS Routes (AASv4), to compliment, not replace, previous versions of the main game mode

Control points are ordered in a logical battle route. Multiple routes are then predefined and chosen randomly upon map start. This results in battles that are more focussed, unlike in AAS Random (AASv3) where flags could be selected resulting in illogical flag orders.

Advance And Secure (AAS) Flags that cause ticket bleed now have different color attack and defend markers to identify them as bleed flags.

Removed Jabal Al Burj due to map changes breaking COOP
