Multiplayer Gameplay

Multiplayer differs heavily from Campaign mode, the single player aspect of BF2:MC. The game offers only two game modes, Conquest, and Capture the Flag. Both game modes support 24 players.

Like the game itself says, it changes online, and it is shown throughout gameplay. Various features such as sounds, movement, weaponry, and even different buttons are used different ways in multiplayer to better fit the competitors.

In Conquest, the maps are at their full size, and are quite large. The goal is to capture a majority of the flags scattered across the map. There are two counters, which show the tickets remaining on either side. The tickets decrease by 1 for each time a player spawns after death or the initial spawn on the corresponding side, and by progressively more, depending on the number of flags either team has. The more flags one team has, the faster the other's tickets will decrease. If both sides have an equal number of flags, neither team's tickets will decrease, unless a member of one team dies, in which case one ticket is subtracted from the victim's team. Vehicles are readily available in this mode, and there are multiple types of maps, such as "Incursion" maps, in which every flag owned by only one of the teams is capturable. The advantage to the side with no permanent positions is the fact that they start with all of them in their possession, save one permanent position, owned by the opposite team.

In Capture the Flag, players battle on a scaled down version of any one of the maps. There are only two positions, one on each side, which house each team's flag. There are multiple spawns in each position. Instead of the flags being mounted on flagpoles, as in Conquest mode, they are instead small flags perched on small bases. When a player walks over a flag, it is automatically picked up. The player carrying it must return it to their own base. The flag may only be captured if the capturing team's flag is still at their base, and not taken by their opponent.

Scoring

In CTF, each teams earns one point per kill, as in Conquest. If a flag carrier is killed, the killer receives 3 points for killing him. Players gain one point for returning their team's flag by touching it. Players attain one point for assisting in capturing a flag, (returning their team's flag just before a teammate captures the enemy's). Two points are gained for killing an enemy who is attacking a teammate carrying the enemy flag. If an enemy is in the flag zone, the area surrounding the flag, killing him earns two points.

In Conquest, players get 1 point per kill. Players get 2 points for killing someone if they are in the vicinity of a flag owned by the player's team. Players get 5 points total for capturing a flag, two for neutralizing it and three for capturing it. Players who approach a flag being captured by one of their teammates, reducing the capture time, gain 1 point for assisting in flag capture.

Universal Scoring

For destroying a vehicle with an enemy inside, players get 2 points, plus an additional point for every other enemy inside. If the player destroys an enemy's vehicle, within a certain amount of time after he exits it, the player gains one point, plus additional points if the enemy was carrying a flag.

For Team killing, the killer loses one point. A second team kill will subtract 2 points, a third 3 points, a fourth 6 points. The player will continue losing 6 points per team kill, until being kicked from the server after losing 24 points to team killing. Players can also vote to remove a player from the game.
