Skirmish In teams made of 8 (for a total of 16) players have an initial time limit of two minutes to fight over smaller maps composed of three objectives. During those two minutes both teams have unlimited respawns as they try and take and hold the objectives for their team. After those initial two minutes are up respawning is turned off and the game turns into a single life game mode. A team's time limit can be extended and re-opened by 40 seconds when a team captures a neutral objective or takes control of one already controlled by the other team. If neither team is wiped out after 5 minutes the game will go into a sudden death mode preventing respawn time from reactivating. Territories In this game mode the two teams are set up in an attack or defense role with the attacking team attempting to push through the entirety of the map by capturing all the objectives.
Only one or two objectives tend to be open at a time which focuses the combat around those objectives and not over the map at large. This mode also introduces gameplay mechanics that are not in the smaller Skirmish mode such as spawn on squad, vehicles and team commanders who can call in special abilities to help their team. Supremacy All objectives are open to capture by either time for the entirety of this mode. Each objective in linked to at least one other objective and/or the team's home base. The teams compete to link more objectives back to their home base which preventing the other team from maintaining their connections. Final fight 3 snes.
Each linked objective is worth a set amount of points and helps progress a team towards victory. Players will also find the more advanced team mechanics and vehicles available in this mode.
