- Flag Capturer Role (Capturer)
- Capturer Support Role (Capsup)
- Base Defender (Defender)
- Long Range Defender/ Diversion and team leader (LRD)
This role is used to describe the member of the team that is the primary flag capturer. The goal of this role is to infiltrate the enemies base and steel the flag and return to the home base with the flag. This role will differentiate from others because there is far less focus on attacking other players. If the capturer does not have the flag then it should try to draw the least amount of attention to itself while getting as close to the enemies' flag as possible. When the capturer does have the flag it should not turn around and travel backwards to attack because it will travel slower, draw attention to itself and navigating backwards perfectly is not realistic.
As the name indicates this role is for defending the Entity that is in the Capturer role. This is not a desired role for any Entity that wishes to have longevity. It must do everything it can to increase the chances of the Capturer's success. Trying to distract the enemy players from the Capturer, destroying as many enemy players that it can and occasionally using its body to block incoming fire. A final strategy of the Capsup could be to sacrifice the Capturer only in special cases that look very advantageous. If the Capsup can use the Capturer as bait to destroy many of the enemy players then it can, keeping in mind that if an enemy touches the flag after the Capturer drops it the flag will be returned to the enemy base and progress will be lost.
The goal of this role is to prevent the enemy from ever touching its' teams flag. This role can also help defend the capturer only when the capturer reaches a close enough distance to the home base.
This role has two main goals. The first is to distract enemy players by attacking them from long distances to the best of its ability to draw enemy players away from there base to allow the capturer to sneak in and take the flag without resistance. The second role is to act as a long-range defender of the base and long-range defender of the capturer. This Entity will search for a long-range weapon and then find a vantage point to cover the Capturer and Capsup from a distance. At this vantage point the Entity should be able to see a larger percentage of the map giving it more knowledge then any other team member. This role is also going to function as team leader. This team leader has the ability to change the tactics that other team members are currently using. For example the team leader should have the best view of the playing field and can inform the Capturer of enemies around the Capturer that the Capturer can't see our would have to expose itself to see. If the team leader sees a threat to the capturer it will tell the capturer to avoid that threat and if the Capturer has support it will tell the Capsup to attack the threat to protect the Capturer.
