MML_Helmsdeep_b4 Helm's Deep, Axis objective
66.49.253.253/m/etmain/mml_helmsdeep_b4.pk3Here's info for the map:
Story:
---------------------------------------
The Axis forces, in their desperate search for power to stop the
inevitable Allied onslaught, have been working on the ability to
travel in time.
The Allies, learning of these plans, create a force to storm and
capture the Axis laboratories where the research is being done.
Unfortunately, the Allies attack during a crucial experiment, and
the resulting fighting causes an uncontrollable surge in the
equipment, throwing everyone in the immediate area back in time!
Appearing six thousand years ago, in a history that was only
thought to be mythical, both sides now have a new battleground to
continue their war in.
Allies must defend Helms Deep, keeping safe the means of travelling
back to the modern day, while preventing Axis from dominating this
new land and altering the future completely.

Patrol Points:
---------------------------------------
In various stages of the map are what are called Patrol Points (or
PP for short).
A PP is a designated zone that a certain team / class combination
must remain in for a given length of time to enable additional
benefits for their team.
The time to enable a PP, and how long that PP stays enabled for,
varies, but is clearly defined. Players enabling a PP will be told
how long it takes to enable, and the whole team is alerted when a
PP is enabled, disabled, and when it's about to run out.
PPs are identified by a striped border around them.
The class and team combination required to activate the PP will be
shown on the wall within the PP itself.
The icon indicates what class is required, and the icons correspond
exactly to the icons for class selection in the limbo screen, but
are detailed here:
Helmet = Soldier
Cross = Medic
Bullet = Field Op
Target = Covert Op
Spanner = Engineer
The colour of the striped zone marker and the class icons indicate
what team can activate the patrol point:
Red = Axis
Blue = Allies
Grey / yellow = Either team
So, for example, a blue cross means that only an Allied Medic can
activate the patrol point.
PPs are marked on the Command map.
The effects gained from enabling a PP are varied, and stated at
the time of activation.
---------------------------------------
Special in-game effects:
---------------------------------------
Axis Patrol Points:
Axis has a medic-only PP located under the mountain next to the
ramp. It takes 10 seconds to enable, and changes the Axis' spawn
time from 20 to 15 seconds. It lasts for 2 minutes.
Allied Patrol Points:
Allies have a medic-only PP located in the halls under the Fort.
It takes 10 seconds to enable, and unlocks the health cabinets
dotted around the map for 2 minutes.
Allies have a field-op-only PP located in the second level of
the tower. It takes 10 seconds to enable, and unlocks the ammo
cabinets dotted around the map for 2 minutes.
The Horn of Helm Hammerhand:
The Horn (located at the top of the tower) can be blown by the
Allied team only.
There are no limits to the number of times you can blow the Horn,
although you cannot blow it more frequently than once every 2
minutes.
The Horn's effect is more powerful the longer you leave it between
blowing it. It has 5 distinct levels, and it 'charges up' levels
every 2 minutes.
The effects are:
Level 1 - Allies get instant respawn for 10 seconds.
Level 2 - As level 1 and Allies also get super-fast recharge for 10 seconds.
Level 3 - As level 2 and mortar fire sweeps acros the valley.
Level 4 - As level 3 and health / ammo cabinets are unlocked for 2 minutes.
Level 5 - As level 4 but effects last for 15 seconds instead of 10 and there's
an additional wave of mortars.
