Game Modes

Capture the Flag:

This mode simply puts two teams battling to capture a flag in the centre of the map. They must then take it back to their base to score.

Domination:

This mode requires teams to hold as many of the three flags across the map as possible. Each team accumulates more points depending on how many flags they currently control.

Free for All:

In Free for All you need to hit a score limit or run out of time and be leading with the most kills to win the game. A team variant is available.

Hardcore Team Deathmatch:

Team Deathmatch with reduced health, limited HUD and no vehicles.

Hardcore Search and Destroy:

Search and Destroy with reduced health, limited HUD and no vehicles.

Headquarters:

This is a bit like domination, except the area you are required to hold is larger. It is a frantic but fun game mode that channels everyone into the same area.

Sabotage:

This is where a neutral bomb must be used to blow up an enemy target. You must also defend your own target from the enemy if they have the bomb.

Search and Destroy:

The same as Sabotage, but the bomb is not neutral.

Team Deathmatch:

The standard FPS game mode, simply kill the other team as many times as possible! Dying is not punished, but does reward the other team with points.

Veteran:

Boot Camp:

War:

There are numerous points to capture across the map and a team must seek to get them and hold them. Vehicular mayhem ensues.

Ground War:

This is like War, but supports a whopping 18 players.

Hardcore War:

War but with reduced health and a limited HUD, also supporting 18 players.
