Project Ghost

About

Played on certain arena maps, each round the entire player roster is forced into a specific class, with specific weapons. At the start of each round, a dice (in simple terms) is rolled to determine what class and weapons will be used for the round. Chance of a particular round, is based on when it was last played.
