Robot Destruction

Robot Destruction is an upcoming game mode announced on July 8th, 2014. Currently this game mode is in beta and only includes one map, rd_asteroid. However the map is available to play by going to the quickplay menu, checking "Play Beta Maps" and selecting "Robot Destruction". The release date for the game mode and map is currently unknown. Because it is in beta, certain textures and animations are missing.

Robot Destruction maps are all symmetrical like Control Point maps. This game mode requires players to go into the enemy base and destroy their robots to earn points. When the robots are destroyed they will drop things that can be collected to add points to your team's total score. The Robots are split into three tiers, each tier being harder to kill, deeper into your enemy's base and drop more points. Like Control Points, the next tier of Robots will be unlocked after you killed the previous tier. Your team's points will be stored in a "battery" deep in your base. This "battery" can be collected and captured like an Intelligence briefcase, the battery can also be captured to restore points to your team. Currently the game will go on indefinitely until one team reaches a certain score, in which case that team will win.

The Robots are not like the ones of Mann vs. Machine, these Robots are harmless and will run when you attack them. Currently these Robots are immune to Compression Blasts, Afterburn, Backstabs and Bleeding but that may change later on due to the fact that this is a beta game mode, meaning that it's still in development.
