These points are used to grant special power boosts to the team that has captured them. To do this, one or more players of a team must stand very close to them and a bar will appear on the player's HUD. First the bar will fill to one side (left if the player is on the blue team, right if is on the red team), that will "capture the point", giving the benefits to the team automatically; but if the player stays near the bar will start to fill again, this will "secure" the pillar, this is done to make it harder for enemy player to steal the control point quickly. Securing a control point takes twice as long than simply capturing it. Stealing and securing a control point takes even more time, as the player must first deplete the bar of the enemy team, and then fill it for his/her own team. The
