<h1>Introduction</h1>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Story</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Well, there's no story. This game is basically about these two teams fighting each other:
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
<b id="cla">The Cubers Liberations Army (CLA)</b><br />
|
||
|
||
<img src="pics/flag_cla.jpg" alt="CLA" style="float:right"/>
|
||
|
||
Little is known about the goals and motivation of this small but feared Terrorist group. Their activities are
|
||
as diverse as their members. With ex-military, anarchists, religious fanatics, conspiracy theorists, hippies
|
||
stuck tripping, free © software fanatics™ or simply severely mental disordered persons and bored youngsters, this organization is a
|
||
pool of radicals from across the globe. Their operations range from simple annoyances (such as introducing
|
||
large amounts of Marijuana smoke into the air conditioners of offices or malls) to well planned gruesome
|
||
bombings. They'll target civilians as well as politicians, lobbyists or religious leaders and their employees.
|
||
<i>“Terror for the sake of terror, for you all suck!”</i> seems to be their motto.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
<b id="rvsf">The Rabid Viper Special Forces (RVSF)</b><br />
|
||
|
||
<img src="pics/flag_rvsf.jpg" alt="RVSF" style="float:right"/>
|
||
|
||
An elite group of armed special forces, but not the kind you´d expect. These guys are battle worn fighters
|
||
and mercenaries, who might've been just a little too trigger happy and up for the glory to fit into any other
|
||
kind of elite squad. They're not suitable where lives are to be spared and private or public property to remain
|
||
unharmed. The backgrounds and funders of this extravagant task-force remain well concealed for obvious
|
||
reasons. Their primary targets are highly unpredictable terrorists and organized criminals such as the CLA
|
||
where intelligence, infiltration and stealth would be just a waste of time. <i>“First shoot, then ask
|
||
questions later, if anyone´s left to ask”</i> is the primary approach to their job.
|

|

<h2 id="weapons">Weapons</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
There are seven weapons you can use to frag or gib your enemies:

|

<table id="guns">
|

<tr>

<td width="140"><img src="pics/weapon_knife.jpg" alt="Knife"/></td>
|
||
<td>
|
||
<b>Swiss Tech Combat Blade DR-88</b><br />
|
||
<p>
|
||
A sharp and swift blade. It is your last resort when you ran out of ammo as well as your best friend
|
||
in humiliating snipers and campers. Fragging someone using this weapon produces a "gib" instead of a
|
||
frag which counts for two frags, instead of one. (0)

|
||
<td>
|
||
<b>Mk-77 Semi-Automatic Pistol</b><br />
|
||
<p>
|
||
You basic sidearm. A powerful resort weapon, yet typically less effective at range.
|
||
The small magazine size is something you need to keep an eye on. The <a href="#akimbo">akimbo</a> power-up makes this weapon twice as deadly! (1)
|
||
</p>

|

|
||
<td>
|
||
<b>MTP-57 Assault Rifle</b><br />
|
||
<p>
|
||
The large caliber deals a substantial amount of damage. A long barrel ensures accuracy even at high range.
|
||
It can become difficult to control when shooting bursts of more than three bullets. (5)
|
||
</p>

|
||
<td>
|
||
<b>Precision Tech AD-81 Sniper Rifle</b><br />
|
||
<p>
|
||
Semi-Automatic Sniper rifle, equipped with a 2x scope. The large caliber can do a frightful amount of damage.
|
||
Though naturally most accurate when used with the scope, the highly ergonomic design allows the experienced shooter
|
||
to operate it from the hip as well.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p> Not recommended on it's own for hand-to-hand combat, since it can take some time
|
||
to recock the weapon. Headshot frags from this weapon produces a "gib" instead of a frag which counts for two frags,
|
||
instead of one. Headshots also cause three times as much damage. (4)

|
||
<td>
|
||
<b>A-Ard 10 Sub-machine Gun</b><br />
|
||
<p>
|
||
This weapon releases a deadly spray of bullets at a high rate of fire.
|
||
However, due to the short barrel and small caliber,
|
||
its man-stopping power is limited, and effectiveness ceases at longer ranges. (3)

<p>
|
||
7-round semi-automatic shotgun. This powerful weapon can shred your opponents to pieces -
|
||
if you´re close enough.(2)

|

<b>SAL-T3 Grenade</b><br />
|
||
<p>
|
||
This grenade is your friend in mid range fights. Its timer is adjusted to two seconds which makes it quite
|
||
useful for quick responses to your enemies fire bursts. Frags from this weapon produces a "gib" instead of a
|
||
frag which counts for two frags, instead of one. (6)
