Re: How do you play shutdown?

The attacking team brings lances to the objectives, plants them to "destroy the data" and guards them while they are destroying the data. You need a lance there until the objective is complete, and it will disappear from the map. You then rinse and repeat at other objectives.
Defenders prevent the attackers from planting, if planted they can disarm and stop the destruction. The dropped lance will stay at spot it was dropped for a little bit before it is returned to the attacker's spawn.
Teams swap sides after all the obj's are destroyed or time runs out.
Now the 2nd team has to destroy all the objectives faster (if first attacking team destroys them all) or they have to destroy more of the data than the first team did.
What really happens: 2-3 players know what they are doing, and the other 15 play like they are playing team deathmatch or they just camp/snipe.
