-Eucadian Tank: A heavily-armored tank which can hold a driver/cannon operator, and a turret machine-gunner. Although one of the slowest vehicles, it can take repeated attacks and still operate.
-Nemesis: An extremely agile counterpart to the Warhawk, the Nemesis is capable of reaching extremely fast speeds and is able to perform intense evasion maneuvers, but is also one of the least-armored vehicles.
-Chernovan 4x4: Essentially the same as the Eucadian 4x4, only with a different visual style.
-Chernovan Tank: Essentially the same as the Eucadian Tank, only with a different visual style.

-Island Outpost: Two islands joined by two bridges, each containing a vital military outpost.
-Eucadia: A series of war-torn villages in the mountain region of the planet of the same name, the perfect stage for massive assaults

A: Yes, you can play offline with up to 3 other players.

Q: Can I have split-screen in ranked matches?
A: No, this option was removed since some players were abusing it to locate other players without consequence to their rank. This upsets the balance, and thus, is unavailable in ranked matches.
