Special Delivery (game mode)

Special Delivery is a Game mode added in the Pyromania update. The objective for both teams is to take a neutral briefcase to a specified area of the map, while preventing the other team from doing so. It is essentially a hybrid of Capture The Flag, Control Point and Payload. The intelligence of Capture The Flag is replaced with an Australium Payload that either team can take 45 seconds after the start of a round. But once taken, the Australium becomes property of that team: if the carrier is killed, it is dropped and can only be picked up by the same team. If the case is defended for its return duration of 45 seconds, however, it will return to its original location and become neutral again, allowing either team to take it. In place of the Control Point and Payload Cart is a loading platform or other slow-moving object. Only the team with the Australium can make the platform operate. The loading platform does not increase or decrease speed depending on the number of teammates on board. If the Australium is dropped or the Australium leaves the platform, however, the platform retreats. If the team with the Australium can make the platform complete its operation, they can then place the Australium in the goal to win the game.
