================
== Basic Idea ==
================

  In the original Freeze Tag, when you were dead you were frozen and couldn't 
respawn, waiting and waiting to be thawed out. With Freeze Tag Capture, when 
you die you can respawn again and get back into the game!

  This is possible because now you'll leave your frozen body behind, where you 
had died. The object then is to capture all of the enemy bodies and bring them 
together at one spot.

=============
== Capture ==
=============

  Capturing a body requires use of the hook. You will need to bind a key to 
"+hook" in order to use this unique item. I'd typed "bind mouse2 +hook" at the 
console window and was good to go.

  So now you've hooked your body and you're dragging it, dragging it back to 
some spot your team has decided to bring all the bodies to. This location can 
be anywhere. It could be a hole in the ground or some area that's easy to 
guard, anywhere. Your team might even have several gathering spots on the same 
map.

============
== Points ==
============

  Once enough bodies have been gathered, they should all explode, provided 
they're close enough to each other. Then your team gets a point and you're on 
your way to victory! All remaining enemy bodies will be broken at this time. 
The amount of bodies you will need to gather is the same as the number of 
people playing on the enemy team plus one. So if the enemy had six players, 
your team would need to bring together seven frozen bodies. Even though there 
may be seven enemy bodies somewhere on the map, unless they're in one spot 
they're worth nothing.

=============
== Thawing ==
=============

  You will come across your own team's dead bodies. To deter the enemy, you 
should stand by them for about three seconds and they will break. Then the 
enemy cannot use them to get a point.

  If your team wants some offense, plan an attack on the enemy collection point 
once you find it. Have people pick off the defenders while others go in and 
thaw their frozen body collection. They might have them all bunched together, 
in which case you'll be able to unthaw them all at once!

=============
== Purpose ==
=============

  Good team communication is essential. I've bound a key to "say_team Where's 
our collection spot." and another to "say_team Defending bodies by %L and need 
help!" Also "say_team Where's the enemy's base??"

  While in the original Freeze Tag, you may have played by basically fighting 
it out when you encountered the enemy and unthawing anyone you came across, in 
Freeze Tag Capture it's best to understand how the team's doing and cover for 
them in positions they may be lacking in.

  Some of the roles I see are: having a good defense set up to protect the 
frozen bodies while waiting for the gathering of more for the team point. 
Another position is possibly at the front line fighting and killing the enemy, 
or another would be to collect those bodies you've come across to take back to 
base. Someone should make sure the team's own frozen bodies get thawed so the 
enemy can't use them. And my favorite role, because I just anguish it when it's 
done to me, is to attack the enemy's collection spot and try to thaw all their 
hard work: those frozen bodies.

===================
== Miscellaneous ==
===================

  If you prefer that the hook stay attached to the wall when you release its 
activation button, type "hook" at the console to switch to this mode. While in 
this mode you can use "+grow" and "+shrink" to have more control.

  There is a new command in Freeze Tag Capture which is "play_team ". This will 
send the filename specified sound to all teammates. If you have a chance, check 
out the "autoexec.cfg" file which came with your client.zip. This file lists a 
lot of preset "play_team" sounds you may want to use.

  If you didn't have a chance to grab the client.zip file yet, or you see 
someone playing who doesn't seem to know who is on which team, may I suggest 
typing "flashlight" at the console. This will make a spark appear above 
everyone who's on your team. This way you don't need the skins necessarily to 
play.

  And whatever you do, don't type "hook", then "vote" to activate a secret with 
the hook.
