You have an elected player who acts as a commander at the start of each new map, who is able to issue support to the squads he commands.and as a new player, you can choose to be part of one of these squads, following the orders that the commander or squad leader sets. Although you're free to 'lone wolf' in this game, the real rewards come from being part of a squad and actually following a unified effort to win a map. In most other online shooters (even the objective based ones) you tend to end up with two teams aimlessly shooting eachother without any real strategy or effect. The controls are straightforward and very easy to get to grips with, the weapons are well balanced (even the fully upgrade ones have their weaknesses, so any new players stand a fair chance) and there is alot to be said about the squad/commander system. You start a game in multiplayer (choosing from the myriad of servers with more maps than you can shake a stick at) and are immediately faced with a choice between 4 classes (recon/assault/support/engineer) each with a fully customisable 'kit' that is upgradable as you gain points and progress through the ranks. The multiplayer being the main party piece of this game, though I would advise a decent connection first.a mere 56K modem will lead to some infuriating lag.

You have a choice of singleplayer (you're fighting with and against computer controlled 'bots') or multiplayer (you're going against human players) modes. I first came across this game at a friends house and in a short amount of time came to appreciate that it was a very well made squad-based online shooter.
