~Game Styles

Flag Games:
The most common game style. Maps may consist of two (2) to four (4) teams. For each win, your team will gain a point which can be found on the right side of the screen.
Goal:
Retrieve the flag(s) from the opposing team(s) and return them ("cap the flag") to your flag holders. Once all flags are in place (capped), the team holding all the flags wins.
Flags can be either neutral flags (white flags), team flags (same color as the team) or both.

Frag Games:
In this style of game there are no flags or switches, only opponents to kill.
Goal:
The objective here is to get as many kills as possible. There is no way for a team win in this game style.

Switch Games:
This game style is similar to flag games, only instead of retrieving the opponent's flag(s), you must activate a switch, which looks like a flashing light once activated. The point system is the same as a flag game.
Goal:
Activate all of the switches on the map to your team's color to win. Once a switch is activated for your team, it will flash your team's color. All you need to do to activate a switch is move over it. Once activated, a switch may be switched to the opponent's team color if they move over it, so be sure to keep an eye on the switches you've already activated.

Uniball Games:
This game style involves a small ball (uniball) which can be moved by shooting it. Usually consists of two (2) teams.
Goal:
To win this style of game you must shoot the uniball to move it into your holder, much like a flag holder. (Neutral, Green, Yellow, Blue, & Red)
