Halfback

The halfback is the heavier of the two offensive positions. They aren't quite as fast as the Forward, but they have more combat endurance and they can hold on to the ball better.

The halfback is ideal for close attackers or those who just want to mix it up. Offensively, halfbacks should be throwing and receiving passes, by making runs and by aiding in combat when it's close up.

Weapon Loadout
The Halfback has two weapons:


 * Shotgun. The halfback has this weapon to wreak havoc at close range. It is almost unparalleled in close range, except of course charge attacks: the most dangerous in the game.
 * Rocket Rifle. This weapon does low damage and shock, but lots of force, and has a slight homing ability to help it hit fast-moving targets. Good for forcing enemy goalies out of the goal or knocking fast hookers off of their lines.

Offensive
The Halfback has a few uses in an offensive role:


 * Running Chokepoints. The Halfback is much better at holding on to the ball than the Forward. If the offense is trying to get through a heavily defended chokepoint, a full-health Halfback will be more likely to make it.
 * Runs on Goal. Similarly, their ability to survive charges makes them more likely candidates for runs.
 * Clearing the Path.
