Репост из: Ingress Updates [ENG]
Agent @Relique in our discussion group reported Niantic testing out Battle Beacons! Here is what we can deduct from these screenshots:
Battles are divided in 5 3-minute intervals that will award respectively 1-2-2-3-4 points to the winning Faction. To win these points, one Faction needs to own the Portal at the end of the "checkpoint".
After each checkpoint, the Portal is flipped to the opposite Faction and the battle starts over.
Each Battle is categorised from I to IV (as in first category to fourth category, first being the lowest) based on Total Agent Activity to determine the amount of the hacking boost at the end of the battle, valid for both Factions.
The winning Faction, is rewarded by their emblem being displayed on the portal for 4 hours.
Thanks @Relique for reporting!
