Game Modes (Core)

Capture the Flag: Obtain the opposing team's flag and bring it back to the player's flag for one point. Your enemy must not be in possession of your team's flag during turn-in.

Demolition: Two team fight to plant a bomb on a target point and defend it long enough to allow it to explode.

Domination: Three capture points are up for grabs on the map. The more capture points your team has secured, the more map control your team has and the more points you're awarded every few seconds.

Hardpoint: Battle against the opposing team to secure an objective point. Points are awarded when one team has at least one player within its area of influence without an opposing player in the area.

Kill Confirmed: A variant of Team Deathmatch where points are only awarded upon killing an enemy and picking up the dog tags they leave on the floor.

Safeguard: Battle against A.I. controlled enemy soldiers in this Horde-style game mode.

Search & Destroy: A defense and offense oriented game mode where one team must prevent the other from reaching one of two bomb sites and detonating a bomb.

Team Deathmatch: Kill Everyone on the opposing team to reach a point limit.

Uplink: A variant of Capture the Flag where only one flag is available and both teams battle to obtain it.
