Gametypes

The first release offers four gametypes. All are server-authoritative and configured via the GametypeController framework in server/gametypes/.

Gametype	Players	Score limit	Time limit	Notes
Duel	1 v 1	none (most frags wins)	10 min	Challengers queue for the second seat; overtime extends by a minute on a draw
Amphi	1 v 1	Best of 3 rounds	3 min per round	Timed respawns; most frags in the round wins
Deathmatch (FFA)	up to 16 (8 in a lobby room)	20 frags	10 min	Classic free-for-all
Search & Destroy	up to 10, two teams	10 rounds (2-round lead)	90 s per round	Bomb/defuse, no respawns in a round, loadouts, wbomb* maps only

See Maps for which maps each mode plays.

Selecting a Gametype

Players pick a mode on the lobby's Play stage — Duel, Amphi, FFA or S&D — and take a room for it. For developer flows and dedicated servers, the engine's map <name> [gametype] command accepts a gametype keyword:

map wdm2 duel
map wdm2 dm        # alias for deathmatch / ffa
map wbomb1 snd     # also: bomb, search, search_and_destroy
map wamphi1 amphi

The dedicated server takes the same set through --gametype, where 1v1 is also accepted for Duel and bomb or searchanddestroy for Search & Destroy.

See the engine's Map Launching Guide (docs/manual/guides/map-launching.md in the engine repo) for the developer command flow.
