Introduction

Jailbreak: Prisoners of War (JB:PoW) is a teamplay modification for id Software's Quake III Arena. There are two teams, red and blue, and each team has their own base. Inside that base is a jail, and a release button that will open the jail. Whenever you frag a player on the opposing team, they will respawn inside the jail in your base. The object of the game is to capture all players on the opposing team in your jail. When this happens, the team is executed and your team gets a capture point.

Of course, while you are trying to capture the opposing team in your jail, they are trying to do the same thing to your team.

Once a player is in jail, they can get out by one of the following methods:

• a teammate pressing the release button deep within the enemy base.
• escaping through an escape hole. This usually requires teamwork with your other cellmates, so pay attention.
• using a personal teleporter, if they have one.

The match continues until a team has reached the capture limit set on the server.

Teamwork is important in JB:PoW. Capturing your opponents, freeing your teammates, escaping from jail, and even stealing weapons from your enemy's armory all require effective teamwork.

Unlike other team games where some players always play offense and others play defense, JB:PoW will require you to play both at different times. If you normally play defense, and the rest of your team is in jail, you get on offense and get into the enemy base to free them. The momentum in the game can shift very fast as well, as a group of prisoners can suddenly be freed and looking for revenge.

JB:PoW is a joint release by Black Knight Productions and Team Reaction, combining the strengths of their Prisoners of War and Q3A Jailbreak mods, as well as adding new features and maps.
