The commercial launch marks the unveiling of the in-game cash shop, which will bring another component to the customization of the title, and offer players at all levels the chance to further enhance their gaming experience.

Sudden Attack players are divided into two opposing teams: Special Force and Silent Fox Alliances. Each team is required to have at least one member and at maximum eight members. Players can also group into their own clans to fight within a separated network. Here players can show off group power, where teamwork and coordination play a crucial role.

Community inclined it supports several chatting modes, macros and firm clan system, as well as Explosion and Elimination game modes.
