    The objective of the game is to infiltrate and destroy the enemies base while keeping yours alive. Once a building has been destroyed it is gone for good and you get disadvantages, for example equipment costs twice as much without a power plant.

    You can place proximity mines to discourage invaders, disarm enemy mines with an engineer, place remote explosives, call air strikes and place Nukes but those can be disarmed within a certain amount of time. I like playing as a Sniper or a Stealth Black Hand. There is a lot more to the game than that but it gives you a basic idea, it is quite oldskool and arcade style.

    The first Beta release was very popular online, there were hundreds, of people playing and all servers were maxed out at 64 a side on some days but then a lot of crashes occurred and only the hardcore players remained. I remember having to restart up to 6 times before I could get in to a game and things were worse after their additional beta updates.

    Now that everything is much better, there are no where near as many people. They are planning to release it on Steam Greenlight so maybe that will help.

    Ive had a lot of fun with this game. I remember playing as Stealth and creeping up behind Snipers, silently placing a C4 explosive on their back and vanishing away just as quietly. Ive enjoyed stealing the enemies vehicles after they jump out to repair but I waited until they had repaired it to 99% haha, patience...

    Earlier there were about 4 servers with 40 people in each one. By the way, most people experience an audio bug where the music defaults to zero and stops other sounds from working so check your options before playing after install.

    Great game, just wish more people played :\. They need to get it out of beta and on Steam ASAP. Like BF this game really needs high pop servers to be enjoyable.
