Bombing Run

Bombing Run is the 11th Game Mode released in Combat Arms. It has characteristics from both Search and Destroy and Capture the Flag.

Overview
In Bombing Run which is similar to Search and Destroy, a team must plant a bomb to win, but the difference between Bombing Run and S&D is that: 1) The bomb must be captured (like a flag), and 2) Either team can plant the bomb. The opposing teams must try to grab the bomb. Once retrieved, a little orange bomb icon will appear in the lower left hand corner. The player with the bomb must navigate through the terrain to reach the designated planting point. There, they must plant and guard the bomb until the timer runs out. However, the enemy can defuse the bomb, and either side can also respawn infinitely until the timer reaches zero. It will also be a draw if the two sides do not plant the bomb when the time runs out. Each round takes 5 minutes and 40 seconds for the bomb to denonate.

Strategies
Teamwork is your best bet.Work with your team to defend and attack and you should win. Plant the bomb somewhere where your teamates can clearly see it so that they can defend it easily. The bomb takes about 10 seconds to defuse so use your time wisely.

When planting the bomb, it's best that you crouch behind the cases (Or whatever they are) so that you're less likely to be hit when you're planting the bomb during a firefight. Also, keep in mind that this strategy CAN result in loss of the game if your team loses the firefight and nobody's close enough to the case.

Another good strategy when it's hard to get to the enemy's planting spot could be to hold off the campers and let the enemy bomber plant the bomb so your team can defuse the bomb. Sometimes it is best to let yourself killed so the enemy players feel they can safely plant the bomb. This strategy only really works when you have a superior team, as attacking and defusing a bomb once it's planted is very difficult.

Additionally, when defending a bomb set by your team, Gas and Incendiary grenades work very well, as enemy players will be forced into the cloud if they want to defuse the bomb. Gas is especially useful, because enemy players are forced to stay in the cloud while disarming the bomb.

Like in RattleSnake, you leave the other team to plant and then wait until it's nearly planted and rush them and shoot everyone, the planter will continue and after he stands you Headshot him, then your team has one player go to there base and shoot and distract them while the others guard the player defusing.

Trivia

 * Bombing Run is based loosely on Search and Destroy, Capture the Flag, and several other game modes with the most obvious being Sabotage from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The two game modes even share similar icons such as "Escort" and "Defend".
 * This game mode is available on the map Sand Hog, though there is a major advantage for the Bravo team because of the bomb planting spot. It is located in a position where Bravo team can easily defend while Alpha team has a difficult time reaching the bomb and defusing it.
 * The default map for Bombing Run is ShortFuse.
