## What is AssaultCube?
|
|
AssaultCube is a **FREE**, multiplayer, first-person shooter game, based on the
|
|
[CUBE engine](http://cubeengine.com/cube.php4).
|
|
|
|
Taking place in realistic environments, with fast, arcade gameplay,
|
|
it's addictive and fun!
|
|
|
|
With efficient bandwidth usage, it's low-latency and can even run over a 56 Kbps
|
|
connection. It's tiny too, weighing in at a lightweight about 50 MB package
|
|
available for Windows, Mac and Linux. On the correct settings, it can even run
|
|
on old hardware (Pentium III and above).
