Can you Dominate the Battlefield?

The Domination Mission

The Domination Mission is a thrilling game mode inspired by the iconic Call of Duty Domination game. In this mission, players battle for control of a central area on the battlefield.

The goal is simple: the team that holds this area the longest wins. Battlefield Sports uses its innovative Battle Boxes to keep track of this fast-paced challenge and ensure the action never stops.

Whichever team controls that area the longest wins. Battlefield Sports uses one of their awesome Battle Boxes to track this.

The Battle Box is set as a "Domination Box" using the "Recommend Options" menu. Configuring the box for the mission using this list only takes a few seconds.

Domination is a great game due to its flexibility. It can be enjoyed with as little as three people or as many as 300. Minor tweaks to how the game is set up allow this game to go BIG!

Here's How The Game Works

1. Setting Up the Game:

Choose the correct Battle Box settings: With the simple-to-use "Recommended Options" menu, you can set the Battle Box to "Domination" mode in just a few seconds. It’s quick, easy, and ready for action.
Teams: The game is most commonly played with two teams (Red vs Blue), but the format can be expanded to three teams (Red vs Blue vs Purple), making the mission even more dynamic and competitive.

2. Gameplay Mechanics:

Control the Box: Players need to shoot the Battle Box to capture the central area. When a player from the Red team shoots it, the box flashes Red, signaling the Red team has control of the area. If the Blue team shoots the box, it flashes Blue and switches control.
The Battle Box doesn’t just flash—it tracks how long each team holds the area. The team with the longest control time wins.
Victory Condition: At the end of the game, the team with the most time controlling the box is declared the winner. It’s that simple, but the strategy involved makes it incredibly engaging.

3. The Flexibility of Domination:

Small or Large Groups: One of the best things about the Domination mission is its flexibility. Whether you have just a few players or a massive group of 300, the game can scale to suit your event. You can play with as few as three players or as many as 300+ by adjusting how the game is set up.
Game Adjustments: The rules and the battlefield layout can be tweaked to suit the size of your group. For example, if you're running a smaller event, one Battle Box might be all you need. You'll want to increase the number of boxes and supplies on the field for larger events.

Running Large Groups

The key to managing a large group is to spread the action out across the field. This keeps the game exciting and ensures everyone can engage while reducing the risk of accidental collisions.

Here's how to handle larger groups:

• For around 20 players: Set up two Battle Boxes on opposite flanks of the battlefield to act as respawn points. Then, place another Battle Box (set as a Domination Box) to act as the objective.
• For 40+ players: It’s time to go big! Set up three Domination Boxes to ensure equal access for all teams. This setup spreads the players further across the field, increasing the action and excitement.
• Supply Crates: Once you hit 20 players, adding extra Battle Boxes (set as Supply Crates) to the field is a must. As the group size increases to 40 or more, you’ll want three supply crates placed strategically on the field. Position these crates roughly halfway between the Domination Boxes and each team’s medic box. Think of it as a rough diamond pattern. This encourages movement and keeps the game engaging at every corner of the battlefield.

People are Raving about it

I'm really getting excited about our laser tag! I really feel that this could be big for us. Our battlefield area is really cool and a fun place to play. Last weekend we had about 100 sorority girls from San Jose State play. We've had at risk youth from Oakland and Watsonville, boys soccer team, youth groups and our guest groups play. The gear gets used every weekend. People are raving about it.

Scoring the Mission

Scoring in the Domination mission can be as straightforward or as complex as you need it to be. Here’s a breakdown:

One-Point Domination: In this mode, there’s a single Domination Box. The team that controls the box for the longest period wins. This is perfect for smaller groups or quick sessions.
Three-Point Domination: With this variation, you’ll use three Domination Boxes placed across the field. The team that controls at least two boxes for the longest period is the winner. This format is perfect for larger groups, as it keeps the game dynamic and spread out.
Score Tracking: To keep track of the action, you’ll need a master controller or the SATR-Go! Scoreboard app. As the game progresses, the controller will track each team's time, controlling the boxes. At the end of the game, the controller will automatically announce the winning team with a phrase like "Red Team is Victorious!". This instant feedback helps keep the energy high and adds to the excitement.

"The Domination mission has been a huge hit with players of all ages and backgrounds. From college groups to youth programs, people are raving about the immersive experience it offers," said Daryl B, Adventure Program Manager who shared how their team has successfully used the mission for over 100 sorority girls from San Jose State, as well as youth groups, and sports teams across the region.
