Is an isometric( birds eye view kinda-ish, at an angle ) online multiplayer game back in 1999.
The game itself is composed of many other games( zones ). Each zone has its own unique play style and format.
Basic Zones:
- Bughunt : is a zone where you can be either the alien or the human. The humans objective is to capture all 3 or so points on the map to win the game. While the aliens are to prevent the humans to capture the points. There are about 4 or 5 types of aliens and 5 or 6 types of human/troops.

- CTF (Capture The Flag) : is exactly what it is. In this zone, teams can be up to 10 players( no aliens in here, but has 9 playable troop classes ). Depending on which map the zone is played on, there can be up to 4 flags to capture and defend. Once a team captures all the flags, the team must defend for 60 seconds in order to win the match.
*Private teams can be made, but are limited to about 8 players.
- SK (Skirmish) : a zone where about 40 players( idk the cap size; no aliens, but has about 10 playable troop classes ) on a team. In this zone, 2 teams rage war against each other. The objective is to have to have the most team kills in about 10~15 minute timer.

- CM (Chambert’s Moon) : An innovative zone where a team of 6 ( includes about 5 types of aliens and 10 types of troop classes ) can defend 3 flags or choose to play Koth( King of the Hill ). Koth is where a player must stay alive, killing players to restart their crown timer from expiring, or else you’ll lose. To win koth, you must be the last one standing with the crown and you’ll win some rewards. The aliens in this zone are like an RPG where you gain EXP from killing players/flag/koth and increase its stats for better survivability and weapons. This zone is quite unique because of it’s environment, its on the moon! Zero gravity! Although that might sound cool, i dislike this zone because of its slowness and pace. =p
*Private teams can be made, but are limited to 5 players

-EOL : Disputably the best zone in the game. It has teams up to 10 players ( no aliens but has about ~20 playable classes ) and has a shit ton of content and play styles. This zone is essentially an RPG where you gain EXP from killing players or by flagging/basing with 10~12 flags or by choosing to koth, or do both at the same time! The EXP is used to develop your character and with the developments you chose, you can have access other classes and more powerful/useful equipment .
*Private teams can be made, but are limited to 8 players

-CA (Combined Arms) : Another disputably best zone in the game. This zone has teams of 10 ( no aliens, but has ~11 unique playable classes ) and has lots of content and play styles. The zone is all about basing/engineering, which is essentially defending your home. The zone also has koth, but is more focused towards defending your HQ, which is your team’s source of money. Any team with an engineer can build an HQ and build structures or turrets to defend it. You can gain more cash from your HQ by killing players, dropping HQ credits which can them be used to upgrade your HQ, making it bigger priority for enemy attackers. This zone is generally popular nowadays with its fast paced play style.
*Private teams can be made, but are limited to 8 players

-CQ (Conquest) : A zone where, like skirmish, has ~40+ players on one team( no aliens but have ~ 10 playable classes). The zone has lots of content and play styles. The objective is to capture all the points on the map before the other team does, even if it means raging war against each other. The zone is very open and has lots of stuff flying everywhere. Personally, this is the most balanced, fun, noob-friendly zone in the entire game.
