Fieldrunners offers three types of tower defense gameplay: Classic, Extended and Endless. Playing in Classic and Extended modes limits the number of rounds in which the player must defend to 100.

Extended mode adds the two new towers, Flame Tower and Mortar Tower (except Skyway which adds Tesla instead of Mortar). In Endless mode, the player may defend indefinitely.

Forge is a PVP team-combat game, basically the end-state of many MMOs without the level grind to make it to that end-state content. It uses many similar character/class/skill tropes found in MMO games. The combat is action oriented, more like Team Fortress 2. It doesn't rely on "tab targeting" as many other MMOs do. The player must stay active and engaged in the combat to be successful.
Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter, which also features role-playing game elements including experience points, skill tree, and crafting system. The player has the ability to shoot enemies behind objects in crouch mode based on experience points. The player will also have the ability to perform "takedowns" by performing melee attacks from above or in crouch mode. The game's narrative director, Jason Vandenberghe, said that the story mode map will be around ten times larger than in the game's previous installments, indicating that it is still an open world sandbox game.
