For each objective captured they gain more reinforcement and time to attack the next. Defenders have a finite amount of reinforcements and must use each wisely. Once the third objective is captured by the attackers a fourth cache objective must be destroyed while the defenders have only one life to make a last stand.Firefight --- Three territorial objectives one for each team plus one neutral. Each team only respawns when they secure an objective. Secure all objectives or eliminate all enemy to win. Every life counts making this a very suspenseful experience dependent upon teamwork.Skirmish --- In addition to three territorial objectives each team has a supply cache to protect. Teams gain extra reinforcement waves until their cache is destroyed. When both teams have lost their caches and all reinforcement waves it becomes a Firefight match.Occupy --- There is one central territorial objective in the area. The team that controls it does not deplete reinforcement waves. This gameplay in this mode is reminiscent to King of the Hill or "tug of war".Ambush --- A high value target ("HVT") must be escorted to an extraction point. Its one teams goal to make this happen and its the other teams goal to stop this from happening at all costs. The HVT is only armed with a silenced pistol but can pick up a weapon from a fallen enemy or teammate.Strike --- Three weapon caches must be destroyed by the attacking team to achieve victory. Destroying a cache earns the attackers more reinforcements and time on the clock. The defenders must retain at least one cache from being destroyed and eliminate the enemy team once their reinforcements run dry.Infiltrate --- The standard Capture the Flag mode but with a twist. Your teams goal is to take the enemys intel and return it to your base. Your team will only gain reinforcements when someone takes the enemys intel or when an enemy stealing your teams intel is neutralized. This mode requires very strong team coordination and strategy.Flashpoint --- One neutral territorial objective and two caches on each side. The goal is to secure the entire area controlling the middle and destroying the enemys caches. Your team respawns when they secure the territorial objective or destroy a cache objective.Elimination --- In this single life mode attackers must destroy one of two weapon caches or eliminate the enemy team within the time limit. Defenders must kill all attackers.Cooperative Game ModesCheckpoint --- Complete mission-based objectives in sequence against AI enemy. Each successful objective will respawn anyone who was eliminated along the way.Hunt --- Insurgents are dispersed in the environment and your squad must eliminate all targets while locating and destroying the weapons cache. High on tension with only one-life.Survival --- Play as Insurgents and fight against endless waves of progressively difficult Security enemies on night themed maps. Reaching safehouse objectives with your team earns you supply to purchase better weapons and spawns any dead teammates.Outpost --- Defend your supply cache against endless waves of enemy trying to destroy it. Each successfully defended wave will bring in reinforcements of your teammates.Conquer --- Capture the objectives in the area and defend them from enemy trying to retake them. Destroy enemy weapon caches to thin out their numbers.
