Selecting this option allows the player to search for another opponent and connect to them automatically without having to start a server and wait for other players.

Players can host a match and wait for players to join them. Currently the Host always starts on the same side of the battlefield while the Client always starts on another part of the battlefield.

Host a Match
This loads a match that anyone can see on the servers list and join. Only one person can join the match.
