By joining the server, the player chooses a team to play with: Allies or the Wehrmacht (German Forces). After that, you should choose a class, those available are: Riflemen, Assault, Reinforcement, Snipers, Machine guns or Rockets. Some servers may limit the number of players from each class, usually to prevent the abuse of snipers or machine guns. Once the player has the class starts at a predetermined point of the map, and must fight for control of objectives. If he dies, must wait for the next wave of reinforcements to return to battle. The player also has the option to change classes while waiting for reinforcements.
