Gametypes |
| Deathmatch Description: One hit one kill Objective: Eliminate the other team Rules: If you shoot an enemy player and hit them they are out. -Any hit to the body, limbs, or head is considered a kill. -ALWAYS call yourself out when hit. If in doubt, call yourself out to be safe. Make sure you yell hit or act out your death loud enough so everyone knows you’re hit. -Hits to the gun being held by the player are ignored and play continues without pause. -NEVER play dead or possum when an opponent is in view. This is dishonorable. -NEVER talk or interact with players after you are hit. Dead men don’t give info, guns, or ammo to people! -If you are within 10 feet of an opponent, yell "BANG" rather than shooting them to prevent injury from close range shots. This counts as a bang kill and they are dead. Medic Description: One medic per team that can "heal" players who are hit Ojective: Eliminate the other team Rules: Choose a player on each team to be the medic. -When a player is hit, that player must lay down at the spot they were shot and stop playing. -Player may resume play once medic touches (heals) them. -If medic is hit, he may not be healed and that team no longer has a medic. -Game ends when one entire team is eliminated. Respawn Description: Like deathmatch, but when hit players are not out the rest of the game. Ojective: Hit as many opponents as possible within the alloted time. Rules: Players split into teams and start at their own bases. -When hit, a player calls himself as hit and goes back to his own base. Make sure the person who shot you knows he did, and not the person next to him -Player MAY NOT SHOOT while respawning -Once at his base, the player may begin to play again -Players must keep count of how many "kills" they have made -NO spawn camping (waiting at the other team's respawn area) is allowed! -After time expires, teams tally their points and the team with the most kills wins. -This game variant is extremely dependent on honesty, so DO NOT CHEAT! Call yourself out when hit and don't lie about your kills. Surrender Description: Pain's the name of the game Ojective: Cause enough pain to eliminate a player Rules: A player is only out when they cannot take the pain any longer and call themself out.  |

The confusion comes from not knowing what team someone is on, and they may be from a completely different team next time you see them. Variations: Deathmatch (but instead of dying, join other team) Ojective: Game ends when there is only one team left. Rules: Divide up into small teams of 3-4, each team starts in its own area. -Different colored tags (note cards, cloth, etc.) are used to correspond to each team and and is pinned to the clothing of each player to signify which team he is on. -Player must carry one of each teams' tags so as to switch teams when hit. |
