Intelligence carriers cannot use Teleporters.Additionally, certain conditions may result in the player being unable to pick up and carry the Intelligence. While carrying the Intelligence, players become more vulnerable. Carriers are visible to their respective team players as they emit a green, yellow, or red glow (based on their current health) that can be seen through walls. The Intelligence indicator located on the HUD will then point in the direction of the carrier, who must make their way out of the enemy base and back to their own. Once picked up by a player, the Intelligence will then appear on their back and the Announcer will notify both teams that the Intelligence has been taken. The Intelligence can be taken by any enemy player that walks up onto it, but can not be interfered or moved by a friendly player. It must be retrieved from this location by the opposite team and returned to a defined point, usually the opposing team's capture zone where their Intelligence is stored. Once picked up by an enemy, the case begins to glow in the carrier's team color and will emit paper particles and a long team-colored trail.ĭuring a Capture the Flag round, each team is given their own Intelligence located within their section of the map. It is a team-colored briefcase sporting a complicated numbered lock pad on the front and papers protruding out of its joints.
