Nine classes to shape around you
You start by choosing a class that fits how you like to act in a fight, with its own tactical abilities and personality. They suit a range of styles and experience levels. You can also tweak a favorite to match your taste. Building out your look and loadout is part of the fun, with a huge stash of weapons and hats changing hands through collecting, crafting, buying and trading.
Modes to learn, then play for real
The game includes flag captures, point control, escort work, arena fights, hill defense and more. Detailed training and offline practice help you hone skills before you play with others. At its core it is fun to play, and rated highly as a shooter. Expect a rough start, since newcomers are often matched against far more experienced players.
A long-running game with a lively crowd
People have kept playing for many years. The community is a big part of the appeal. That same long-settled crowd can feel rough around the edges, so it suits players who can brush that off and enjoy the match.
