Gameplay
Survival
The key of the game is to survive (provided the player is on the Survivor Team). Staying with ones' teammates and sharing equipment such as weapons and ammo is essential to the game. The round starts with all the survivors placed near each other in one general areas (with the exception of some maps, such as Town). Some players will be selected to play as zombies and may spawn not too far from the survivors.
The number of zombies at the start of a round is determined by the number of players. A higher amount of players will result in more players beginning the round as zombies. The goal as a human is to survive and either kill off all the zombies (on survival maps) or do the objectives (on objective maps), and the goal of the zombies is to kill all survivors, regardless of the game mode.
Survivors start the round with a random pistol with a few extra bullets to spare in their inventory and one random melee weapon. The weapons that are given to the survivor vary greatly from one to another. For survival tips, please check Survivor Strategy.
Objective
This gamemode has similar rules to Survival, except the survivors can't win by waiting for the round timer to run out, nor kill all zombies to win. They are required to reach the end to win.
