Key features

Domination with vehicles and rocket launchers you can pickup in specific places.
A moving train you can jump in.
A moving objective: you can capture the train even while it is moving.
A resetable objective: you can make neutral the train objective (B objective) by shooting it from a vehicle

Work in progress for checkpoint and other game modes.
Due to some job matters, my development for this mod could proceed very slowly.

this mode is so cool, I was driving thru tunnels and my truck got ****** up by the train lol

Prof.Orribilus @proforribilus

XD
Glad you are having fun. I hope to play it with many people.

Sparkie951 @sparkie951

Looks nice... Would love to see this in a Check point format!

Prof.Orribilus @proforribilus

Reflecting about it, i decided to add a draft of checkpoint gamemode as soon as possibile. But what do you think about it? Do you want a release with a full experience or a shorter draft to start testing things?

Sparkie951 @sparkie951

Easier to expand than shrink in my opinon... start small and build up and hopefully it picks up traction.

Prof.Orribilus @proforribilus

Do you mean it's better to release my complete idea?

Sparkie951 @sparkie951

No, not really, just do updates/additions as things come up and just keep a good quality map... Not a map that appears 1/2 finished, that seems to get players turned away and not come back... Need something exciting to make them want to play it.

Prof.Orribilus @proforribilus

Thanks for your opinion.

Prof.Orribilus @proforribilus

Thank you.
Once i finish the base structure, i will consider new gamemodes :)

Update 26th october 2021:
I will add checkpoint mode in the next update i am working on.

Keanu73 @keanu73

Honestly anything with trains is awesome. Reminds me of Golmud Railway in BF4, keep going :D

Prof.Orribilus @proforribilus

Thank you very much :D

Limeth @limeth

I nominate this for the best train simulator in Insurgency: Sandstorm of 2021.

Prof.Orribilus @proforribilus

I am flattered :D
Anyway, the train still needs work. The whole map needs more work ^^

Snakeyio @snakeyio

Hey, nice map, even though its unfinished. I like how the train actually follows the spline and comes back to the same spot lol

I hope you build navigation so I can make AI move around in Domination lol

Prof.Orribilus @proforribilus

Hello, thanks for your comment. I am so moved about playing it with many people.
And, yes, i would like to make some AI, but before the end of the contest i have to finish other aspects.

B4NDO @b4ndo

will you add a checkpoint scenario too?

Prof.Orribilus @proforribilus

If my concept is suitable for that, i would like. But i don't think i will manage to do that before the contest.
