How to use Unreal's Gameplay Framework to speed up Game Dev - UE C++ Tutorial

Unreal provides you with a networked gameplay framework out of the box!
Once learned, this framework will drastically increase the speed at which you can build game ideas.
It solve many common problems you will encounter, and it is worth while to know.
This video will teach you the high level of how the various gameplay framework classes fit together.

We see here how various game modes (hold ball, flag capture, territory holding) can be built.

Specifically looking into:

Game Instance (UGameInstance)
Game Mode (AGameMode) (AGameModeBase)
Game State (AGameState) (AGameStateBase)
World (UWorld)
Player Controller (APlayerController)
Player State (APlayerState)
Local player (ULocalPlayer)
Pawn (APawn)
Character (ACharacter)
HUD (AHUD)

And some other misc things like
AIController (AAIController)
Controller (AController)

The video explores how these interact across various machines in a networked environment.
How long to expect an object lifetime to exist.
How to build things modularly (via Actor components, Subsystems, and raw UObjects)

It briefly touches on some auxillary information like session management and sever level travel.
