That mode would be insane with teams. The nades, bangs, and tubing at the nuke spot will be epic.

Is this one of those XBOX only things? like mods and hacks? or is it an actual hidden game? can't click the link.

especially because it looks like it takes forever to "capture" the nuke. should be fun. hope they don't make us pay for it as part of the multiplayer DLC--especially because it's already on the disc.

its hidden in the game. The PC guys found it, not xbox.
According to them there are three new game modes: VIP (just like Counter-Strike), Capture The Flag (with a single flag between two teams) and Global Thermonuclear War, which one side has to capture. Once captured, the thing goes off, killing everybody.

The first video shows two players playing a private match on Global Thermonuclear War. The nuke takes a long time to capture.

It's supposed to be an unlocked game mode in the game's code, probably for DLC. Global Thermonuclear War looks like a glorified version of King of the Hill, but it looks like it would be fun as hell with teams.

Some of the other reading i did was you have to be invited to the game and then you can host it on your own.. who knows if its true or not. Kinda seems like bullshite to me.

i thought of it as a REALLY long game of HQ with a stationary headquarters to capture.

i think that's b/c only 1 person was trying to capture it

like on Domination, you can capture your spawn flag quickly b/c you have the whole team there...but if you run and try to get one by yourself...it takes longer

No it wasn't. It takes 100 seconds to capture and the meter was the same size as the Domination one.

People are bitching on forums because it's DLC already encoded into the game and they have to pay to unlock it. frick you just can't make people happy. Just shell out the $20 spot and STFU.
