Pentagon Project's gameplay is based on round based, 2 team gameplay.
The teams are always Red Republic and Black Operations Executive (Red and Black
for short).
When joining a Pentagon Project game players arrive in a waiting room from
where they can request to join a team. Due to inbuilt team balancing
prevents players "stacking" on one side, requesting to join one team may
result in joining the other team.
Players are given Reward Points for hurting enemy players and achieving
map objectives (such as defending areas, captureing zones and destroying
objectives). These reward points can then be exchanged at claim points
for one off Reward Items, such as more ammo, healing, better
weapons and armor.
An important concept in Pentagon gameplay are Zones, each team has
a zone assigned to them at the start of the round and team members spawn
in this zone, further zones can be captured in other parts of the map to
expand the team's spawn zones.
Pentagon supports a variety of gameplay objectives and victory conditions which
are map specific. Players are given a briefing on the maps objectives
when the map loads.
