What the heck are you supposed to do in Shanty House?

At first I thought that if I brought that virus to their computer it would do something significant. Then it did like nothing (maybe gave us a point). Then the turrets all respawned meaning we couldn't do it again basically making it a kill 60 times.

    It was disabled on Holodeck.

    However, the latest tribble build reactivate the consoles
    From the latest Tribble Notes:
    Consoles can once again be interacted with in the Shanty Town Assault map.

    Wait... so the mechanic that made Shanty Town different from the rest of the death match maps is currently disabled?

    .....why?

    I haven't played it in a few patches, but what it's supposed to do ...

    Victory Condition 1: Download the virus into your opponent's computer area. This gives you like +60 towards your goal each time you do it. If you can do this effectively, you win quickly. But this involves running to your camp to get a copy of the virus, then having your mates protect you and shooting the turrets around the enemy's computer long enough for you to DL the virus.

    Victory Condition 2: Kill your opponents. A lot. Each kill gives you +1 toward your goal. This takes significantly longer.

    I can't imagine how boring Shantytown would be if the Virus was disabled.

    Shanty
    Gonna sit down in the kitchen
    And fix me something good to eat
    And make my head a little high
    And make this whole day complete
    Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
    And put a good buzz on

    Well pass it to me baby
    Pass it to me slow
    We'll take time out to smile a little
    Before we let it go
    Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
    And put a good buzz on

    Well there ain't nothin' to do
    And there's always room for more
    Fill it, light it, shut up
    And close the door
    Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
    And put a good buzz on

    We gonna sit around the kitchen
    Fix us somethin' good to eat
    And make ourselves a little high
    And make the whole day complete
    Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
    And put a good buzz on
    Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama
    And put a good buzz on



    Though it does suck the changed the match setting and di away with the fun stuff.

    I've put that virus into the enemy base several times. It's never just ended the map. I think it's giving me +1 instead of 60.

    I just tried it again today for the first time in a while and it did 3 kills for the center console and I think 10 for the last one.

    In my opinion the map is still too slow. Fix this by either... slowing down the turret respawn a lot or turning the turret respawn OFF. Or just increasing the amount of points you get for each virus.
