King of the Hill (often abbreviated to "KotH") is a mode where you have to control a predefined or changing territory on the map. It can be played in teams or not.

At the end of the round, the team/player which has spent the greatest amount of time as king of the hill (i.e. in control of the territory) wins.

Note that killing someone doesn't give you any points in this mode.
