Once a player is killed, they are regenerated unarmed elsewhere in the arena. The objective of each game is determined by the scenario being played.<ref name="ONPG prepare"/> Scenarios range from the traditional [[Deathmatch (video games)|deathmatch]] mode, where players score points by killing opponents, to objective-based modes such as [[Capture the Flag]] and [[King of the Hill (game)|King of the Hill]].<ref name="ONPG prepare"/> Other scenarios include Hold the Briefcase, where players must take a briefcase and survive with it for as long as possible, and Hacker Central, a game type where players score points by hacking a computer system using a data uplink device.<ref name="ONPG prepare"/>
