PASS Time is an upcoming game mode announced on August 18th, 2015 developed by Bad Robot, Escalation Studios, and Valve. Currently, PASS TIME is in beta and only includes one beta map, pass_warehouse. The release date for the game mode and map are currently unknown.
Because the game mode and its map are in development, certain textures and animations may be missing, and any gameplay elements described in this article are subject to change.
Contents
Gameplay
The only current PASS Time map is symmetrical, similar to Capture the Flag maps. A neutral ball or Jack spawns near the center. Players must take a hold of the ball and successfully throw it into the opposing team's goal. Players must score more points than the other team when time runs out in order to win. Otherwise Sudden Death goes into effect.
Jack
When carried by a player, the Jack provides health regeneration, a temporary speed increase, and the ability to see both teammates and enemies through walls. Temporary invulnerability is also granted when the Jack is stolen via a melee weapon or intercepted.
Players are unable to use any weapons. It can be thrown or passed to teammates via the primary fire button. However, it can be intercepted if an enemy strikes the player with their melee weapon or if the enemy hits the carrier with a projectile from the Sandman or the Wrap Assassin. The Jack becomes neutral when it touches the floor after being thrown.
Announcer lines
Note: These voice lines are in beta and may be altered in the future. Notably, the announcer is male.
