| − | Highlander is a competitive format with nine players on a team, each representing a different class. The name of the format comes from the quote "There can only be one [of each class]" from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander_(film) Highlander], a movie released in 1986.

| − | [[Payload]] and [[Attack/Defend]] maps are played using a stopwatch format, where teams alternate between attacking and defending after each round. The team that captures more points on offence wins. Should both teams capture the same number of points, the team that does so in a shorter duration wins. | |
| | | | |
| − | Payload maps played in Highlander include [[Upward]], [[Swiftwater]], and [[Vigil]]. <br/>
| + | Stopwatch maps are won by finishing in a faster time then your opponent. You alternate defense/offense after each round. Time is measured by how long it took you to cap points. For example, if you cap all 5 points on a map in 8:37, the opponent must cap all the points in under 8:37 to win. If you cap 3 points in 5:11, the opponent must either cap 3 points in under 5:11, or cap at least 4 points. |

| |
| − | In a King of The Hill map, there is one central point on the map. Each team must try to capture that point. When one team does capture the point, their 3:00 timer will begin to time down. When the other team captures the point, the other team's timer stops and their timer starts to tick down. The first team whose clock reaches 0 wins the round. It is important to note that if the point has capture progress on it when one team's timer reaches 0, the game will go into [[overtime]], where the defending team must wait for the capture progress to reverse fully or the attacking team must capture the point to continue ticking down their own timer.

| |
| − | 5CP maps involve both teams trying to capture all 5 control points to win a round. Capping the midpoint results in the winning team getting a forward spawn that allows the rest of the team to attack the next point quicker, and likewise for the fourth point. In Highlander, 5CP maps usually receive negative feedback due to stalemate situations that can last for an extensive amount of time. For example, on [[Gullywash]], when either team is unable to gain any significant advantage when trying to push forth, a typical three-four stalemate is seen where both teams play behind choke, waiting for the other to make a move.
