Multiplayer Gamemodes
Battle Zones: This gamemode is a territorial game, having to capture flag zones which are spread around the map. Once these zones are captured, depending which team has the most flags captured will slowly gain points. The game ends when a team reaches to the maximum points gained by holding flags or waiting till the timer runs out and the winner will be decided who has the most points by holding flags.

Victory Flag: This gamemode contains a single flag in the middle of the battlefield. The game ends when a team captures the flag in the middle or the timer runs out and the winner is decided by Points by kills.

Frontlines: This gamemode will take turns with both attacking and defending a map. The defender spawn with more defensive oriented equipment and inferior infantry. The attacking team will be able to spawn superior equipment and infantry. The winner is decided by who gains the most points by holding off the other teams and kills put together.

Valuable Cargo: This gamemode is terrible.

Combat: This gamemode is the reject of the other gamemodes, as it is basically deathmatch and since there are no other objectives, most players would find a spot to camp and protect their artillery pieces. so overall its pretty bad. The game ends when the timer runs out and the winner is decided by most points.

Combat FFA: Basically its just like "Combat" but its free for all.

Cover System
In Men of War you could practically use any solid object as cover. However some cover like a haystack will not stop bullets and your soldiers may get shot through it. However depending on the solid object, can be broken by explosions and high calibre shots (50.cal machineguns usually does the job). Also some solid object depending on how powerful an Armor piercing round is, could pierce through cover tagging the vehicle or soldier hiding behind it.

Buildings provide very powerful cover in Men of War, it helps conceal soldiers if they hide in buildings as well as provide a coverpoint. Occasionally soldiers inside buildings are near invulnerable to small arm fire, as that they will hide behind the building and will not show themselves to shoot. The easiest way to dislodge a soldier hiding behind cover or in a building is by throwing a well place frag grenade in the window, this could be done by both direct control and AI (ask soldier to throw grenade button DEFAULT: F1). Anti-Tank grenades like the N73 and RPG40 also provide great power against people hiding behind cover and inside buildings by destroying the cover itself. High Explosives rounds with any Tank or Cannon if you manage to hit the window, you could take out the people inside the building, if the high explosive round is powerful enough e.g. 105mm artillery shell, will easily destroy a building.

Grenade Types
Frag Grenades: Basic grenades, can be thrown approximately 22m and can be thrown at very high angles like over houses and over cover and into up to 3rd floor buildings. Grenades will explode after ~4-5 seconds. These grenades are powerful enough to kill most or injure infantry within a 4m radius. Explosive radius is reduced against proned soldiers so if you want to survive a grenade, you better hit the dirt.

Anti-Tank Grenades: Heavy Grenades, can only be thrown approximately up to 14m, cannot be thrown very high however it could still hit buildings up 2nd floor buildings. Anti-Tank Grenades have an ability to pierce approximately up to 45mm of armor. Therefore, enabling these Anti-Tank grenade to pierce and destroy tanks, however certain tanks may still be too powerful for these grenades to pierce. The easiest places to damage a tank with an Anti-Tank grenade is to hit the Tracks, Engine or the top of a turret.

Overview
In Men of War you will notice that there are a very wide variety of weapons for each faction ranging from Rifles and Submachineguns to Bazookas and Grenades.
