About</h1>
|
||
<p>
|
||
AssaultCube is a total conversion of <a href="http://strlen.com" target="_blank"
|
||
shape="rect">Wouter van Oortmerssen´s</a> FPS called <a href="http://cubeengine.com"
|
||
target="_blank" shape="rect">Cube</a>. AssaultCube encourages players from
|
||
all platforms to play by being multi-platform (Available on: Windows, Linux and
|
||
Mac OS X), <a href="#license" shape="rect">partially open-source</a> and low on system
|
||
and networking requirements. It is set in a realistic looking environment (as best
|
||
that's possible with this engine) while gameplay stays fast and arcade. This game
|
||
is all about team oriented, multi-player fun.
