Multiplayer

Set up a multiplayer battle online. Choose from the following game modes:

Termination – Classic domination gameplay with a twist. Capture and hold as many bases as possible. Once captured, the bases can be used as forward respawn points. The highest scoring player on the human side can respawn as the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Teams score by shooting down enemies. Players occupying any of the bases can also score by holding a dominated base for 10 seconds. The round ends when a team reaches the frag limit or the time expires.

Team Deathmatch – Battle it out to see which side can rack up the most kills. You can set limits for either time or number of frags. The team that kills more opponents wins. The round ends when a team reaches the frag limit or the time expires. Each kill scores a point for the player and the team.

Mission – One team defends an object or area while the other tries to destroy or take it over. There is a time limit. If the attacking team can’t destroy the target, the defending team wins the game. The round ends when a team achieves the specified task or the time expires. Operating as a team is very important.

Options
