"We were born to kill. In the days of the Old One, our God created us equal but seperate. The Red and the Blue. We were born to fight. For as long as we have existed, we have fought to bathe the countryside in the light of our people. Such is our history, such is THE JIHAD."

In the time of creation, one god set about a path to greatness. He created two groups of beings, from the same genetic material. One red, one blue. Equal in all ways except one. The color of their flag. To each he gave a simple command: KILL OR DIE. The people of The Jihad know of no other life than murder. To live is to kill, to die is to die fighting.


THE RULES

STARTING OUT
 When you spawn on a Jihad server, you begin on team YELLOW, with no weapons, in a special spectator area. Take a look around. you will see numerous 'video screens' that show the game in action. You will also see two colored teleporters.

JUMP INTO THE GAME 

Step into a teleporter and you will immediately be set to that team, as well as sent to the team's base area. You will be given your dispersion pistol upon spawning. 


TIME TO KILL!

The goal of Jihad is simple: Control the TempleZone. Where is the TempleZone? That depends on the map. But be sure, all roads lead to the temple. When you reach the temple, find the Holy Switch. Control will switch to your team's color. If your team is in control already, nothing happens. 

DEFEND THE TEMPLE!!

The god knows who is in control (as do you! colored lights and torches around the level reveal who is holding the temple) and will return very soon to smite the infidels.
If one team can keep control for a continuous 4 minutes, the opposing team will be Struck Down By The Power Of The Angry God. All players in the controlling team will gain one frag for each smitten enemy.

Killing someone inside a pre-defined TempleZone will give the defender a bonus of 2 frags.


TEAMS ARE UNBALANCED? SWITCH TEAMS!!
In every jihad map, there is an Exit teleporter. This will remove you from the gameplay arena, strip you of your weapons, set you to team Yellow, and place you in the spectator area. You will retain your personal frag count until you reenter the game or leave the server.
Where is the exit? look around. It's a yellow teleporter. (can you say coward? ;)



NOTES:
1: there are many ways to the temple, and many offensive/defensive positions. Make use of them! Your only goal in Jihad is to take the temple or die trying!!!

2: There is NO health on a jihad map! Again, the goal is to defend the temple or die trying! Make use of armor available throughout the level, and use your team!!

3: THIS IS A BETA RELEASE!!! There will be flaws in the code and map; please let us know if you find any! But before you do, check the web site for the KNOWN ISSUES!

4: WE WANT FEEDBACK ON THIS MOD!! We would love any ideas anyone can give us! The more you input, the better the mod, so let's hear it!
