Control Point (CP), often just called as "flag" or "cap", is a certain limited area of the battlefield. It is marked by a distinct "CP icon" on the map, which indicates it's status. The capping radius (or even shape) of a CP may differ for each CP on the map. CPs can be either neutral or belong to one of the factions.
Capturing a Control Point[ | ]
When you are inside the capping radius of a CP, a CP indicator appears in the top right of the Head-up display (HUD). The indicator, represented by a flag and progress bar, shows the status of the CP along with cap speed. Additionally in case of a capture, lost or neutralization of your teams most front CP a message is shown in the top center of the HUD, independently of your current location.
Neutral CPs can be capped by a single player. If only one team is able to capture a control point such as during the beginning of the round or during a double neutral, it's not possible for enemies to block the capping process (ex. 1 player can cap against 9 players).
On points where both teams can cap a point, blocking is possible as cap speed is based on difference in numbers between players (ex. 8v0 caps faster than 8v4). If capturing a Non-Neutral CP, teams will require at least three more players on the point. Cap speed also varies by gamemode.
