Ever wanted to play some sort of soccer/basketball hybrid with your Team Fortress 2 friends? You now have the opportunity. A beta game mode called “PASS Time” has been added that divides RED and BLU into fighting over a ball to earn points in the name of honor and glory. Don’t worry – it’s still violent.
In Team Fortress 2 ‘s PASS Time, people are trying to get a ball into the opposing team’s goal. The player carrying the ball has no access to weapons, but does have increased health, the ability to see all enemies and allies on the field, temporary invulnerability after stealing the ball, and a temporary speed boost after getting the ball. However, they can’t attack and have to rely on allies for protection.
It sounds like Team Fortress 2 ‘s PASS Time will require a lot of strategizing with teammates you know and trust. Make sure you have a solid group together before you start playing!
