<h1>About</h1>
<p>
AssaultCube is a total conversion of Wouter van Oortmerssen´s FPS called <a href="http://cubeengine.com" target="_blank">Cube</a>.
Set in a realistic looking environment, as far as that´s possible with this engine, while gameplay stays fast and arcade.
This game is all about team oriented multiplayer fun.
