At any time during play, you can press the Esc key to pull up a brief menu of important game options. In a single-player game, this pauses the action. In a multiplayer game, the other gladiators remain active while you stand still - making you a perfect target.
Team
When playing in a Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flag game, you can use this option to select your team. The choices available to you are:

Join Red/Blue: This makes you a member of either the red or blue team.

Join Game: Pressing this button changes you from a spectator into a player, randomly assigning you to a team with an open player slot.

Spectate: This allows you to enter the game as an invisible ghost who cannot interact with the arena or other players but can move about freely, except through doors, to watch what?s going on. You can also view the game through the eyes of another player by pressing Attack.
