Deathmatch
Simple player versus player 1-on-1 or multiple player free for all – points gained and winner established by the amount of damage dealt with small bonuses for kills. Kills awarded to person who did most damage to player overall (if they’d done damage recently). Small bonus for being the last man standing.

Team Deathmatch
As above, but damage totals and kill awards determined by whole team, not individual player.

Close Sparring - variant
Variant of base mode, but with no guns – only melee weapons. Scoring is done in the same fashion as the base match type with the exception of the gear type having an inverse relationship with points scored – a big gear that has an easier time of doing 100 damage with a vibroblade will earn less points than a little one that does 100 damage with a vibroblade: this is to encourage people to use the otherwise poorly matched gears (maybe use arm strength value to calculate this modifier). Not affected by weapons equipped.

Run and Gun - variant
Another variant mode – no indirect weapons, only melee and direct-fire weapons (rifles and rocket type weapons). No bonuses for anyone in this mode (gears should be fairly equally disadvantaged here).

Honor Duel - variant
Another variant mode on 1v1 or team v team, this mode everyone has to take the same weapon into combat, and only that weapon. An option is provided (and default) for simple weapons to be identical and provided by the arena, exotic weapons like lasers can’t be used in that mode (you have to bring your own). Defaults to standard weapons+vibrorapier

Block and Run – Capture the Flag (North style)
Almost team deathmatch, as seen in most FPS games (2 flags, get the enemy flag to the flag in your base). No flag teleporting, have to take your flag home.

Block and Run – Capture the Flag (South style)
Almost team deathmatch, this mode is like the capture the flag more common in real life – one flag in the center of the map must be collected, then taken to the enemy base. No flag teleporting either, but it wouldn’t help anyone here anyway.

Stalker and Prey
One player is the Prey and unarmed, the other is the Stalker and is armed. The game is played in two halves-each taking a turn as stalker or prey, with points only awarded after both players have played both rounds. A time limit is set, during which the stalker must find and disable the prey. Over time, the points shift from the stalker to the prey until either they run out (and the prey wins) or the stalker disables the prey and the current balance on the score bar is awarded to each player. The prey can earn bonus points by knocking down the stalker, this doesn’t change the score/timer bar and is additional points. At the end of both rounds scores are tallied and a winner declared.

Lone Wolf
In this mode, the Wolf gets to pick standard weaponry and the stalkers (enough to double the threat rating of the Wolf) only bring in a single melee weapon. The Wolf enters the field first, and has 30 seconds to move to a position – the stalkers are then allowed entry to the field. Points are awarded to the stalkers for dealing damage to the Wolf, and points are awarded to the Wolf for damaging the stalkers in return (bonuses for knocking them down or disabling them).

The entrance everyone came in is the only exit, and the Wolf must make it back out of there in order to keep their points – if the wolf is disabled without escaping the points they earned are simply lost. If they do escape, the reward for the stalkers is significantly reduced. The pot for the Wolf is determined by the damage they dealt (modified by threat rating, picking on weaker opponents yields less ponits).

If the stalkers disable the Wolf, points are distributed with a bonus for damage dealt and a penalty for damage taken, the pot is determined by the threat rating of the Wolf and divided amongst the stalkers based on their scores. (this makes the defending task less penalized score-wise than if it was just damage based)

Deathrace - Stretch
Individual players race around a track. Most points given for final placing, bonus points given for dealing damage to people modified by overall position (so if you’re jockeying for first place and fighting a lot you’ll both rack up a lot of bonus points, though only enough to switch first/second place if the first placer doesn’t fight back much). Dealing damage to someone more than 2 places behind you earns a penalty rather than a bonus, increasing toward the back of the group. Going backwards around the track is not a viable strategy to win, as the bonus points aren’t significant enough to make that much difference, but they might push you half-way up the board if there’s no fighting by the people above you.

The race finishes 30 seconds after the first racer crosses the finish line. Racers that cross the finish line have their weapons disabled but are free to try to block other players with their gear. Score balances determine share of the pot.

Team Deathrace - Stretch
Players race around a track like in the above example – this time, however, there’s an advantage to be had in having a team-mate or two hold back or go the wrong way around the track in big gears in order to slow down the opposing teams leading racers – there’s a race to be as far back as possible by these ‘blockers’ so that if the leading racers hit them they incur the maximum amount of penalty points, as well as scoring for themselves the most points for their team.

The race finishes 30 seconds after the first racer crosses like in the last example, though this time the weapons stay live which creates a brawl at the finish line while people fight to help their teammates finish. Scoring/penalties are added across the whole team to determine the winner.

More than 2 teams can race at the same time in random matchmaking (team player numbers must match), but only 2 teams at a time in organized racing (to prevent a third team from favoring a side).

Restricted Model Deathrace - variant
A type of deathrace, in this mode all racers must use only one type of gear (or its other faction equivalent), but bring their own to the match (they’re not standardized). This mode also allows for weapon restrictions.

King of the Hill
A standard FPS mode. Game variables include points for controlling, uncontested control, moving hill, and any modifiers while on/off hill (eg. people on the hill can only use melee weapons to defend or assault it, people outside can shoot in).
