Purpose

Explanation of all Neotokyo game mechanics.

A reference point when doing gameplay changes.

Game explanation

Tactical, team oriented First Person Shooter.

Game rules

Round based single flag capture (Capture the Ghost) with team elimination as alternative win condition. No respawns.

Teams

Players join two teams (Jinrai & NSF), and pick from three classes (recon, assault, support), each with their own abilities and loadouts.

Players may also join spectator team to observe the match.

Score / XP

Players gain points (XP) for completing objectives (kills, round wins, ghost captures). This XP unlocks more weapon loadouts.

Players lose -1 XP for suicide and team killing.

Win conditions

Once a team reaches the round point limit (default 7), the map ends in their victory. Game proceeds to the next map.

Ghost capture

For each round, one ghost spawns at a randomly selected spawn point from one or more possible locations. Bringing the ghost inside the bounds of the team's capture zone grants a round win.

Winning by capturing the ghost gives each living player in the team 1 rank-up regardless of score. Dead players in the team receive +1 XP.

Team elimination

Eliminating the entire enemy team within the time limit grants a round win.

Winning by eliminating the other team gives each player in the team +1 XP.

Timeout

If the round time runs out, the team with most people alive wins the round.

In case of a tie, neither team wins nor receives any extra points.

Rank levels

Each player holds a rank depending on their gained XP during the map. The rank determines which weapon loadouts are available to the player. Players do not lose their XP for their weapon selections. However, the rank resets back to Corporal (0 XP) on new map start.

Weapon loadouts are unlocked as follows:

XP:	Rank:	Explanation:
-1	Rankless dog	Lowest tier. Penalty for suicide/tk.
0	Private	Starting tier.
4	Corporal	First rank-up.
10	Sergeant	Second rank-up.
20	Lieutenant	Highest tier.
