The vehicles constantly move forward, leaving a colored trail behind them as they travel. Therefore, players attempt to box each other in order to force their opponents to touch their trail or one of the arena walls.Ĭontact with either the arena walls or a trail left by a player will result in death and elimination from the battle (not only does this remove their trail entirely, the explosion also breaches trails a short distance away). Players can change the direction of movement, by turning 90 degrees to the left or right (though in some servers the number of axes is more than four, making it possible to turn 45 degrees, or none at all).īeing close to a colored trail causes the bike to accelerate the closer the player is to the trail, the greater the acceleration. This allows players to accelerate and use the resulting speed advantage to outmaneuver their opponents. Players are able to use a brake, the 'v' key by default, to slow down, however, the effectiveness of the brake varies from server to server. Fast Track (FT): A free-for-all game mode with up to 8 players.Some servers even implement a 'speed brake', which turns the brake key into an accelerator. No Rubber (NR): Played with no or one rubber.Rotation: Two teams compete on various game modes.Wild Fortress: Objective is to conquer the opponents' zone.Team Gauntlet: Two teams compete with each other on various generated maps.High rubber, high speed, and very high enemy wall acceleration make for very intense gameplay. Rubber is a mechanism that helps to account for lag. The more rubber, the greater leeway the server allows the player. Loose / Open Play: Usually played with medium speed bikes or DF settings.Dog Fight (DF): Currently it is a mode that consists of slow to medium speed bikes and medium rubber (around 12).High Rubber (HR): Played with an average of fifteen to thirty rubber.Medium Rubber (MR): Played with an average of ten to fifteen rubber.Low Rubber (LR): Played with an average of five to ten rubber.Touching a wall will result in instant death, making this a fast-paced game mode where players need fast reflexes. On loose servers (any servers with "Loose Dogfight" in the name) there are rules for trapping the opponent that disallow completely grinding or sealing the tail of another player (known as stabbing/digging). Armagetron Advanced can be played against AI opponents. This leaves an open path that an opponent can in theory maneuver through without having to "dig" underneath another player's grind. If you ever wanted to take a try at one of those speed demons features in the movie, this is your chance. Team Death Match: Cooperate with teammates.This is the only game mode in which the player is not 'allowed' to do certain things within the game, such as stabbing, although the server does not specifically restrict them. Sumo: The object is to stay in a zone while trying to force the opponent out, forcing their zone to collapse and their cycle to explode.This game can be played with teams or death match style.
