Click "Join Game" and select a game you would like to play. If no servers show up, click "Fresh Servers." There are multiple game modes to play online. A "free for all" game is one in which players are not assigned to a team. A "capture the flag" game is one in which players are divided into two teams and must capture a flag and return the flag to their base to receive a point. A "search and destroy" game divides players into two teams, and each team alternates between offense and defense. The offensive side in a search and destroy game must plant a bomb at a bomb site. Team death match games are ones in which players are divided into two teams. The game lasts for a set amount of time. Each kill is worth so many points, and the team with the most points at the end of the time limit wins the game. "Domination" games are ones in which two teams compete for certain points on the map. A "sabotage" game is one in which two teams try to bomb the opposing team's base.
