 * A few weapons have two modes of fire. [mouse1] Primary fire, [mouse2] secondary fire.
 * Throwing grenades: [F] Frag Grenade, [G] Special class grenades.  Most characters have two types of grenades, which can be primed and thrown at any time. Depending on your setup you either hold down the button, then release to throw the grenade, or if you wish to free up your fingers for movement while the grenade is primed, using 'Toggle grenade' means one press to prime, press again to throw.

-In Fortress Forever, 2 teams (averaging 5-10 players on each team) compete to capture each others flag (and other [[Game Types|gameplay types]]). Each player can choose his character class, out of nine possible classes. Each class has different speed, armor, health, weapons and abilities. If you die in fortress forever, you can respawn back into battle immediately - no waiting around like other games! In addition to using a primary weapon, players can simultaneously throw grenades. Each class has a different set of grenades with different abilities, and most classes have primary and secondary grenades. In Fortress Forever, maintaining speed is key for some attacking players. You can speed yourself up by 'Weapons Jumping', which means shooting the floor, and the explosion propels you forwards. Since Fortress Forever is not a realistic game, you take little damage from such explosions. Another key feature is that, if you jump as soon as you hit the floor, you will maintain some of your speed (if you are going fast from a weapons jump). The most powerful weapons jump is the concussion grenade, which medics and scouts both posess, and can send themselves flying high into the air with little damage. This, combined with the ability to turn in the air, makes moving around Fortress Forever fun in itself, even when there are no enemies to shoot.
