Project Ghost
About
Played on arena maps, each round the entire player roster is forced into a specific class, with specific weapons (defined as a set).
At the start of each round a dice is rolled to determine what set will be used for the round, as well as if there will be a bonus condition.
On maps with ammo packs, these are all changed into the smallest version and do not respawn.

Trivia
- The round named "Boost Bonk Bam!" is a reference to Youtuber Jerma985's video in which he and fellow Youtuber Star_ used the Baby Face's Blaster, Bonk! Atomic Punch and the Fan of War while attempting to kill people, albeit unsuccessfully. During the video they named the strategy "Boost, Bonk, Bam!" hence the name of the video and the round.
- The round named "Ferret Manoeuvres" is a reference to a Project Beta EUR event coordinator TF2PublicFerret's love for the Back Burner.
