 - Each zone is controlled by a flag which has the color of the team that controls it.
 - A zone is captured when attackers touch it and defenders can not touch for 8 seconds.
 - If Defender touch it within those 8 seconds, the zone is reclaimed immidiatly.

 2 HALVES OF PLAY
 - To even out ANY inbalance both teams swap position at half time.
 - First half ends after 50% of the timelimit has past.
 - The match ends when one team gets half of all possible points ( other can't win anymore)
 
 MISC GAMEPLAY
 - Killed players drop ammobox of weapon they were carrying at the moment
 - An ammobox can only be picked up if you have the weapon for it

   1)  125 -  250 points : active shield = battle shield enabled, use it with crouch key
   2)  250 -  500 points : speed boost   = +15% extra speed
   3)  500 - 1000 points : regeneration  = slow regeneration enabled
   4) 1000 - 2000 points : radarjammer   = jams radar as good as possible
   5) 2000 - 4000 points : chainsaw      = chainsaw does 250% damage

  - For normal weapons: legs / body / head : 80% / 100% / 125%
  - For railgun       : legs / body / head : 80% / 100% / 250%
    legshot for railgun also causes player to move less for 2.5 seconds

  - this shield stops all splash damage and 50% of direct damage
  - shield recharges fully in 7.5 seconds, when not used
  - the player can not jump (only walk) when using this shield, crouching is gone btw
  
  ADJUSTED QUAKE3 WEAPONS
  - Anargy keeps much of the balance in weapons offered by Q3A
  - In general most weapons got a +10% damage, weaker weapons got strengthened and BFG tuned down
  - Chainsaw: 80 damage instead of gauntlet 50. Can be upgraded by rating points.
  - Machinegun: Higher rate of fire, 100ms to 85ms
  - Shotgun: Higher damage, 10 to 13.
  - Grenade Launcher: Velocity, damage from 100 to 115. Ammo is quite heavy.
  - Rocket Launcher: Velocity from 900 to 1200. Damage from 100 to 110. Ammo is quite heavy.
  - Lightning Gun: Damage from 8 to 9, 4x as much push. Range from 768 to 640 units
  - Railgun: Damage from 100 to 115. Headshot and Legshot possible.
  - Plasma Gun: Lower rate of fire but more as fully compensated by higher damage. Ammo is leight. Less lag also.
  - BFG: Very high velocity (2750) but reduced damage and splashradius. Ammo is leight, weapon heavy.
  
  USER CONFIGURABLE CLASSES - WEIGHT vs SPEED SYSTEM
  - Anargy comes with 10 predefined classes, but you can edit them in ANARGY CLASSES menu
  - In game, press escape and choose select anargy class to load up a new class when you respawn
  - Each class trades carried weight vs speed, also during a game. So the more you loose, the faster you go. Ammo, Armor and Weapons all have weight.
  - When you carry nothing, you will have 140% speed, when carrying 65kg, you only do 75%
  - Classes/Players with over 65kg won't be accepted by Anargy.

  SPECIAL ANARGY OPTIONS
  - in SETUP -> GAMEOPTIONS you can adjust when the HUD should warn you of low health or armor
  - in SETUP -> MUSIC you can find new music options which are not supported yet (but do work)
