The way I discovered Team Fortress, the original mod for Quake, was because I just happened to join a server running TF and had to spend all day downloading the files from the server on a 28.8k modem so I could play on it, and when I finally got to play, I was greeted with a super racist map called Cross the Border where one team had to reach a goal point on the other side of a giant wall, another team was trying to stop them, and a 3rd team that could only spawn as snipers in two small towers on the wall whose goal I don't even remember.

I was extremely confused but God damn was it fun.

Rascism aside that sounds like a fun game mode to play.

Just call it invasion and make it generic.

Really what made it racist were the team names:

Immigrants vs Border Patrol vs CIA

This is basically what happened to Poland.
