	Damage Control is similar to the Onslaught gametype for Unreal Tournament 2004 as well as the King of the Hill gametype found in many games. It consists of 3 control points or capture points around a map which must be destroyed and then reconstructed with the Reconstructor (shown right). Once the control point is rebuilt, your team owns it. Points are given for the amount of time the point is held. The objective of the gamemode is to aquire the set amount of points before the opposing team. In this gametype, frags do not gain you or your team points. To aquire points you must hold control points.		Damage Control is similar to the Onslaught gametype for Unreal Tournament 2004 as well as the King of the Hill gametype found in many games.

	The original design for Damage Control comes from the days when David Abzug (now a Lead Designer on a different project) was leading multiplayer. Back then, it was ~~penis~~ known as our version of the classic King of the ~~fanny~~. The basic premise was as follows: Targets (small structures) spread throughout a level give teams points after they’ve destroyed and repaired them. That premise has not changed, but the details of the mode materialized and evolved over a long period of time.

	The first and largest obstacle for the mode was actually getting repair fully working and stable. Our destruction system is very complex under the hood in order to bring (potentially) thousands of objects to life at once without melting your console’s CPU and GPU cores. Adding repair on top of that posed many technical and design issues, along with the issue of making the reappearance of a structure look awesome.

Adding repair on top of that posed many technical and design issues, along with the issue of making the reappearance of a structure look awesome.

	Once our repair feature was stable enough to test the game mode, we had to look at how the Reconstructor worked since it would affect the types of structures that get used as targets. We experimented with a couple different configurations along with many ranges of settings before settling on the ~~Reconstructor’s~~ current balance, including an overheat feature instead of traditional ammo.

	Damage Control uses 3 targets for every map, but we briefly experimented with other numbers as well. With only 2 targets, the teams tended to trade targets but neither team seemed to really be winning at any one point. With more than 3 targets, the action became too spread out while defending a target becoming less and less important, particularly with a smaller number of players.
