When you click refresh and see your server list, you'll see many different types of game on offer. Here, thanks to Phenax, is a list of each game mode and an explanation as to how to play it. The most popular modes that people tend to favor seem to be CTF, Insta, and DM. Deathmatch Abbreviation: DM Kill everything! You have no teammates, everyone is an enemy. There is no objective. You win by killing the most people! Team Deathmatch Abbreviation: TDM Like Deathmatch, but you fight in teams. You are either assigned to a red or a blue team. You can tell which team you have been assigned to by looking at the color at the bottom-center of your screen. Make sure you don't attack your teammates! Servers may or may not have team damage on. Instagib Abbreviation: Insta All players begin with a disruptor for their weapon. There are no other weapons on the map to pick up. Like Deathmatch, there is no objective, the aim simply being to kill as many people as you can. All Out Assault Abbreviation: AOA This is just like the Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch mode, only you can pilot spaceships which are strategically placed around the map. Capture The Flag Abbreviation: CTF This is similar to Team Deathmatch only there is an objective. Each team possesses a flag in their base. The objective is to capture the flag of the opposing team. Once you grab the flag, rush back and return it to your flag. If your flag is missing, then you can't return their flag and gain a point. If your flag is not in your base, you can touch it, your flag will return to your base. If an enemy has your flag, you can kill him, and he will drop the flag, then you can touch it and return it to your base. DeathBall Abbreviation: DB This is similar to the Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch mode, only there is an objective. There is a DeathBall (A giant ball) placed somewhere in the map, as well as a goal. You must grab the DeathBall, and shoot it inside of the goal to score a point. But beware, when you grab the DeathBall, you will be stuck using the DeathBall gun until you shoot it. You can kill a player and he will drop the DeathBall. Cattle Prod Abbreviation: CP This is similar to Team Deathmatch only there is an objective. Each team must find cattle, and lead them to a portal. The team with the most cattle caught wins. Killing cattle gives you no points, but it is a good tactic to keep the opposing team from capturing cattle. Team Core Assault Abbreviation: TCA This is similar to Team Deathmatch only there is an objective. Each time possesses several nodes, and a giant spider node. The objective is to disable the opposing team's nodes by running over them, and then attacking their giant spider node. The giant spider node does not take damage until all of the opposing team's nodes are down. If someone of the same team runs over a disabled node, it will reactivate. |
