• Slowmo Team Deathmatch (STDM): Slowmo Team Deathmatch is the slowmo version of Team Deathmatch, with the exception that there is a slowmo hypo that any player can obtain for their team. Once the power up is fully charged, that player can slow the whole game down and utilize the speed advantage for their whole team.

• Elimination (ELM): Elimination is game of last man standing. Every player starts with one life and must fight to be the last man standing in order to win.

• Team Elimination (TELM): Team Elimination is the team based version of Elimination, where one team must eliminate the other in order to win.

• Capture the Flag (CTF): Capture the Flag is a team based mode, where each team’s objective is to capture the other team’s flags. The team with the most flag caps at the end of the round will win.

• Slowmo Capture the Flag (SCTF): Slowmo Capture the Flag is a version of CTF with the exception that there is a slowmo hypo that any player can obtain for their team.

• Conquer All (CA): Is a form of Capture and Hold, where 2 teams compete to capture all the checkpoints. In order to win Conquer All, one team must gain control of all the checkpoints simultaneously.

• Control (CON): Control is also a form of Capture and Hold, but the difference is that the scoring is different. Holding any checkpoint will accumulate points for your team, however capturing all the points will not end the round.
