Should I play Box mode?
If you are bad at building structures and are just starting out, then you should definitely give the Box mode a try. Box mode is exactly what it seems to be, a confined box with a set roof that prevents players from building high rise structures. This levels out the playing field and gives you the chance to pick out your enemies without having to worry about people shooting you from a high rise structure.
Box mode only gives you the ability to create structures that are the height of a single wall. Anything above that gets blocked by the invisible roof that has been put up by the developers. This allows the Box mode to offer you much more competitive gameplay where you can only defend yourself by building structures rather than using them to gain an unfair advantage over other players from high above the ground. If you are new to the game and are fed up with players reaching a higher ground than you and killing you off early in the game, then the Box mode is definitely your chance at redemption.
Box mode results do not get counted towards your competitive rating which makes it an excellent choice for casual gameplay as well.
