Payload is one of the main gamemodes in TF2, and arguably the most popular in casual games.The mechanics of capturing are identical to Control Points, however once a team has taken over from the other, their time is simply paused and not removed, allowing for the timer to resume if the point is recaptured. Most of these maps are 'mirrored', the same visually on either side. The only official map made by Valve for Territorial Control is Hydro, presumably because of its complex design.King Of The Hill is a map featuring a single control point that must be held by either team for three minutes each. Once a team holds all but the enemy's home base point, they then attempt to capture the enemy base point while the enemy defends for a certain amount of time. Each round has one team attempting to seize control of the opposing team's capture point for that section in a certain amount of time. Attack and Defend: is a more complex version of Control Point, in which each map is divided into a number of closed sections, held between the two teams.For example, Dustbowl's first point of the first area cannot be recaptured once taken over. Select control point maps may have some differences. A control point can only be captured by say, BLU if RED players are not on the point with them. Control Point: The Control Point game mode consists of some tactical points on the map, which have to be taken by a team to win.It takes three captures from a single team to win a game.

Both teams ( RED and BLU) are required to take the enemy's suitcase to their base to win. As opposed to a flag, each team has to capture a briefcase (AKA The Intelligence). (In no particular order) # Capture The Flag (CTF): Capture the Flag is the game mode that is put in Team Fortress: Classic on the map, so it was sure to return in its sequel Team Fortress 2. There are many game modes in Team Fortress 2. You can choose nine classes which are Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy. RED and BLU, which you can enter and complete objectives in different game modes.
