How it plays

Friends join the same side on servers of up to 64 and fill roles in a squad, from riflemen and machine gunners to a squad leader and a commander who calls in artillery.
Tanks have several crew stations that friends can man together.
Bullets drop, there is little on-screen help and a hit or two kills, so new players need patience; the Action mode is more forgiving.
A group can host its own password-protected server, and everyone needs a copy.
