• Matches range from one-on-one duels to four-a-side battles, and friends can fill empty forts with AI to team up against the computer or share control of one fort.

• Building is fiddly at first, so new players do well to try the campaign or the multiplayer training missions before facing experienced friends.

• When the host owns a DLC, everyone in the lobby can use its weapons.
