The gameplay focuses on a central mechanic: the frontline. This is designed to keep the action in one place, by focusing objectives closer together on the battlefield. The frontline also has bonuses. By moving it back and forth across the battlefield, the player may gain or lose weapons and equipment.[7] The frontline mechanic is used in all game types, which forces players to choose which objectives they will pursue or defend, adding a strategic level to the gameplay.
The UCAV Drone plays a crucial role in gathering information in real time on the battlefield. The drone reconnoiters enemy units, which are visible through walls, and then shows them on the player's HUD and map. Some drones can also be used as a kamikaze bomb, by running them into enemy infantry and self-destructing them.[7]
There are four other drones: the Assault Drone, a small treaded vehicle with a mounted Gatling gun; a Mortar Drone, with a mounted four-barreled mortar; an RC drone, which can be packed with C4 and used to destroy armored targets; and finally, a variant of the UAV drone equipped with anti-infantry rockets.[7][8]
