Each player takes control over one mech and tries to bring the team closer to winning the match in the two playing modes: Assault (conquering the enemy base) and Conquest (holding certain locations gives points over time and the first team to reach a certain number wins). The major point of the battles are the customizable mechs. Those are divided into four classes which serve different roles in the team, e.g. assault mechs make much damage and are slow while light mechs are better maneuverable and are good scouts. In addition, each part of the mech can be upgraded with weapons and other equipment which change statistics like damage, available ammo and armor - the combinations make a big difference for the mech's performance. One of the most important things to take notice of is heat development - when a mech overheats, it becomes useless. Besides equipment, the ambient temperature of the map also effects heat generation.
