Free For All ( FFA ), also called Deathmatch is a basic gametype where you are playing on your own.
General[]
The matches are played either with a Fraglimit or a Timelimit ( usually Fraglimit ). The first player who reach the Fraglimit wins the match ( incase of a timelimit, the player with the most kills when the time is over wins the match ).
Every player is spawning on a spawn point of the map, you start with 125 HP ( Health Points ) and a Machine Gun with 100 ammo. You can get other weapons, armors and more health points by picking items wich are displayed all over the map.
Rules[]
On Aftershock, FFA matches are played usually with a fraglimit ( set to 30, 40 or 50, depends of the server )
The rules are simple, you have to kill every other player without getting killed yourself.
When you frag ( = kill ) a player, you earn 1 frag point, and if you kill yourself ( by shooting against walls, dying in lava or in water or falling from too high ) you loose 1 frag point.
When you get killed by another player, you spawn back almost immediatly after 1,7 seconds.
Items Timing[]
- Weapons need 5 seconds to spawn back in FFA.
- Health items need 35 seconds to spawn back in FFA.
- Armor items need 25 seconds to spawn back in FFA.
- Power-Ups items spawn every 2 minutes, the first Power-Up appears between 30 seconds and 1 minute after the game started.
Tactics[]
When the match starts, you should hurry to pick up weapons and health/armor items so you can get an advantage on your opponents. Try to time the major items like Mega Health and Red Armor, and a good way to win is to time the Power-Ups, they are really powerfull, try not to miss them!
If you got killed, you spawn back only with a Machine Gun, don't try to fight other players who got weapons and a bigger health/armor stock than you, you have more chances to get killed.
You don't need to kill fully a player to get a frag point, it can be interesting to give the " last shot " on players low on health!
Comments[]
Online, when a FFA match starts, if you join after the start, you will have an handicap compared to the other players who were at the start ( because they might have do more kills ), but don't worry, you will be able to start fair on the next match!
