Hey all!
So you might’ve guessed that Execution will be making an appearance in Dirty Bomb soon. Very soon. In-fact, this weekend! And along with Execution we will also have a new map in rotation to play it on called ‘Overground’. That’s right, a double whammy of awesomeness.

Here are all of the juicy game details for you to check out prior to it’s release;
First of all, this mode is still in its Prototype phase and we are looking for your feedback. We want to make it as awesome as it can be and you can help make the difference.
Each team is trying to win the most out of 10 rounds. To win a round the attacking team needs to eliminate all enemy players or bomb one of two objectives; the defenders have to stop them.
Win Conditions
A round is won if:
Attackers
[ul]
[li]The attackers kill all of the defenders
[/li][li]The attackers destroy one of the two objectives
[/li][/ul]
Defenders
[ul]
[li]The defenders kill all the attackers and no C4 is currently active
[/li][li]The defenders defuse a planted C4 before it goes off
[/li][li]The round time expires
[/li][/ul]
The first team to win 6 rounds is declared the victor for the match, ending even if all 10 rounds have not been played. If each team wins 5 rounds, it is declared a Draw. Individual rounds cannot end in a draw.
Team Sizes
Currently the team sizes will be 7v7 and it will be available through ‘Quick Play’ and Server Browser only (No MM is available for the game mode and team sizes may vary upon full release).
Match Time & Rules
[ul]
[li]Each round has a time limit of 3:00. If time expires, the defending team wins the round.

[/li][li]Only one C4 charge can be planted during a round. When one is planted, the other bomb site is disabled.
[/li][li]Once killed, players do not respawn until the next round. Players that are incapacitated but not finished can still be revived or helped up to continue fighting.

Half Time
After 5 rounds, the attacking and defending teams switch sides.
