Different classes

Characters or Heroes are the player's personal and customized soldiers to be used in the FPS portion of the game. The 'Heroes' section allows for creating, renaming, and customization of your soldiers. Soldiers are able to carry different weapons and be assigned combat badges that grant in-game perks; these can range from increased running speed to ammo pick-up from dead soldiers. Soldiers can enter into a battle where a player slot is available using resources from participating assault teams.
