Editing Rise of the Triad: Dark War (section)

=== Multiplayer ===
The multiplayer mode is notable for the time the game was released, allowing up to eleven players simultaneously. Each could have separate uniform colors, but in team mode, teams were defined by uniform color. There are nine multiplayer modes, some of which do not necessarily involve players shooting each other. These modes are:

!Name
!Description
|---
|'''Normal'''
|Standard [[deathmatch (gaming)|deathmatch]]. Players compete for the most kills.
|---
|'''Score More'''
|The same as normal, but rewarding more difficult kills. Killing with bullet weapons scores more than killing with missile weapons. Killing an airborne player scores more killing than one on the ground. Landing on another player and crushing them scores the most.
|---
|'''Collector'''
|Players compete to collect as many triad symbols as possible. No weapons.
|---
|'''Scavenger'''
|The same as Collector, but with weapons.
|---
|'''Hunter'''
|One random player is chosen as "prey", and has no weapons. The other players (the hunters) must kill them for points. After a certain time, another player becomes prey, the previous prey becoming a hunter.
|---
|'''Tag'''
|Based on the children's game. A random player is "it". They must tag another player by running up to them and pressing their use key to score a point. This player then becomes "it".
|---
|'''Eluder'''
|Players must tag Eluders, which are moving triad symbols.
|---
|'''Deluder'''
|Similar to Eluder, but the Eluders must be destroyed for points.
|---
|'''Capture the Triad'''
|Essentially the same rules as [[Capture the Flag]] (for FPS games), with triad symbols in place of flags. It is probably the first computer or video game incarnation of CTF.

There are many options that can be set for a multiplayer game, allowing a level of customization similar to many later games. These include player attributes, and whether or not things like health, missile weapons or traps are spawned in levels.
