This game has a good combination of fun and seriousness. It encourages "proper" play by giving you slight buffs for certain actions, like staying near an officer, standing in a line, or being near a flag/musician. But aside from that, it doesn't force you to do anything. And there's no unlocking weapons or classes through progression, so you can play how you want to from the very beginning. The serious moments like storming through a fresh wall breach to capture a point, are well contrasted against the funny moments like someone ambushing you with a frying pan.

There are official servers where you can pop in and play whenever you want, these usually cycle through the various maps and game modes (siege, conquest, TDM, etc.). There are also community-hosted event servers at scheduled times where large groups (up to 500 players total) get together to stage more realistic battles with stricter rulesets.
