Subtype Grounds

Subtype Grounds is a large-scale tactical infantry shooter built around teamwork, communication and battlefield operations. You take on objectives, intercept enemy forces, secure intel or try to survive long enough to escape, in PvP, PvPvE and cooperative Combat Ops scenarios where AI factions fight across the map. You can play solo, team up with friends or face other players.

Tactical combat

The game focuses on infantry combat, situational awareness and tactical decisions, without character classes, special abilities, gear-score progression or an endless grind. Its objective-based encounters are designed to be direct and replayable, balancing realism with accessibility. Local forces operate in squads that patrol, guard locations and hunt threats, so the fighting can change as a match unfolds.

A simulated ballistics system accounts for bullet drop, penetration and ricochet. Player movement and weapon handling are realistic, and VOIP supports communication, including proximity chat. After-action reviews let teams analyze hits, shots and movement.

Game modes

• Combat Ops: Deploy into active conflict zones for PvE co-op missions. AI factions fight across the map as you tackle randomized objectives, avoid patrols, intercept reinforcements and extract.
• Extraction: Secure intel and escape before rival teams block your route. Only one team may survive the operation.
• Search and Destroy: Coordinate assaults on defended anti-air systems while opposing forces build layered defenses and launch counterattacks.
• VIP: Track, protect or eliminate high-value targets in objective-driven firefights.
• Team Deathmatch: Fight in infantry-focused matches that reward map knowledge and squad coordination.

Maps and battlefield

You fight across seven handcrafted maps, including dense forests, industrial zones, military camps and tropical jungles. A 24-hour day-and-night cycle and simulated weather bring changing conditions such as sandstorms, fog and rainstorms.

AI factions patrol, reinforce positions, launch assaults, react to gunfire and contest strategic territory. Helicopter insertions, roaming patrols, hunter squads and reactive enemy behavior make operations develop differently from round to round.

Customize your operations

You can adjust a range of game parameters, including AI presence, time of day, weather, available weapons and respawn rules. Self-hosted servers and dedicated hosting options provide control over gameplay rules and settings. The game also includes NPC opposition forces, global stats tracking and loadout customization.
