Rules:
- The Rules of Stronghold are simple.
- 8v8.
- 10 minutes.
- 750 score to win.
- Single objective.
- No strikes are allowed.
- Bots are present in this gamemode.
The Objective
Stronghold has one objective. Capturing it will increase the score of your team. This should be your priority, as playing the objective will grant you the largest amount of points, and therefore the highest amount of XP for your guns and account. Like in Tac Ops, the objective will be captured quicker if more players from one squad are present. Once captured, ensure that you secure it from numerous angles. This objective location has many entry points, and the enemy can be anywhere.
Bots
Bots will fill the space of any missing player. These bots will play the objective and can give you missing supplies such as health, ammo, or equipment. You can request supplies from a bot with the specific pack by pressing “X” on them. They’re extremely helpful! You may also request the same items from players, by using the same method, after which they will be notified that you need whatever they have.

Spawning
In Stronghold, you are only able to spawn in your team’s base. There are numerous ways out of the base, which let you bypass enemies close to a certain exit, or approach the objective from a safer position. Switch up your tactics to not let the enemy predict you easily.
Team Play
In order to be an effective team player, and earn the maximum amount of points, ensure that you’re:
- Capturing the objective with your squad.
- Dropping med, ammo, and equipment packs for your teammates.
