Only the LTAR supports enhanced games.
The Announce Enhanced Game packet is sent by the host at 1.5 second intervals (from start to start) until it receives a Request Join Game Enhanced packet from a joining tagger.
Note that unlike the standard Announce Game packet, the Announce Enhanced Game packet uses binary values, not binary coded decimal.

- PData4—Reload ammo (0–990 rounds, 0xFFFF for unlimited, most significant byte)
