Territory control

In control points played by two or more teams.

The map has several control points . The player who touches the dot repaints it in his own color. The point can be assigned both instantly ( Unreal Tournament ), and after some time ( Battlefield 2 ). As soon as the point passes into the disposal of the team, the timer is turned on , and the team begins to earn points. Thus, the more points a team has at its disposal, the faster points are added. The winner is the team with the most points. But there is also an option with the loss of points by the opponent when your team holds points ( Battlefield 2 ).

The dead are resurrected either in places far from points, or near some controlled point.

Usually make 3 or 5 control points. Even numbers are rare (to avoid "mutual defense").

Options

• In Colin McRae: Dirt 2, there is a “Domination” mode: the track is divided into several sectors, the sector is owned by the one who broke the record.
• In Unreal Tournament 2004, there is a “Double Domination” mode: There are two points “A” and “B” on the map. To capture a point, you need to touch the holographic model of the letter. The winner is the team that will keep both points under their control for eight seconds. After that for three seconds the letters disappear, and then appear. Total match 3 rounds.
• In Team Fortress 2, points can be captured only in order: first the first, then the second, and so on.
• In Heroes and Generals, the location of points on the map has a tree structure: there are points on the branches and there are points of the centers of the branches. Points are captured in order. Players are reborn on trapped spots. If one team captures the points of the entire branch to the end, then the other team can no longer recover on this branch, but the capture of the centers of the branches resets the enemy’s command of all points of these branches.

Such rules form a strong negative feedback : the more points the team controls, the harder it is to control them. Therefore, when the strength of the teams is close, the winner often determines the case.
