If there is no special style indicated by the server owner, the only objective is the above (to simply kill opponent tanks), it is called a "free for all", or "FFA" for short. Styles are server-based, as the server operator chooses what style to host. There are styles of game play that modify the objective. Rogue tanks do not have any allegiances to a certain team and are therefore able to kill anybody. For example, green tanks are supposed to try to destroy red, purple, blue, and rogue tanks. The basic objective is to destroy opponents' tanks, which are tanks of another team's color. Tanks have the ability to drive through other tanks, but cannot travel through buildings or other world objects.

In a game of BZFlag, players drive around tanks, viewed from a first-person view, in a server-defined world (also known as a "map"), which can be modified. BZFlag was selected as the Project of the Month for April 2004. There are around 250 servers active at any given time (although only about 10-20% have active players most of the time), ] and as of Apthere were over 19,300 players registered at the official BZFlag online forums, with roughly 200 players playing a game at any one time. It is distributed under the LGPL license, a switch from the common GPL license that it was under for many years.īZFlag is quite popular, being the third game on to reach 1 million downloads on December 11, 2004.
