Capture and Siege

Most likely the first playable game mode in game's alpha stage, reworked into Siege in Closed beta 22. Despite the big demand from the community during closed beta, the mode was never restored until the 5th Anniversary of Paladins. For this celebration, at least the big maps were brought back with the Limited Time Mode named Siege Remixed, but with the gameplay rules from the normal Siege. As a special feature, the Capture Point randomly changes between three points on the big maps.

In the original Capture and Siege, two teams fight eachother to destroy the opposite team's vault. The vaults are generally located at the very center of a team's base. These vaults are defended by gates. All gates excluding the vault have two turrets guarding them. Turrets can not be damaged by players but will die after their gate is destroyed. Turrets focus siege engines but will attack enemy plyers when a siege engine is not present. Both gates and the vault are invulnerable unless a Siege Engine is attacking them. Siege engines are spawned by capturing the current active point. To capture a point members of a team must stand in it until their team's counter is full. Siege engines will march on a defined path towards the opposite team's base. Siege engines take reduced damage from players while traveling to the enemy base (and break down after destroying a gate. - short time feauture, removed quickly) After a siege engine is destroyed, a new control point will become available. Gates that aren't destroyed before the siege engine goes down will regenerate up to 50% of their maximum health. Team with least gates alive captures the point faster.
