Revenge of the Cats: Ethernet
Revenge Of The Cats: Ethernet (ROTC: Ethernet) is an
independent experimental multiplayer first person shooter
game. The game is influenced by Subspace/Continuum,
Starsiege: Tribes, and Tron.
Maps in ROTC: Ethernet are divided into rectangular zones and two teams
fight over control of these zones.
Players can switch at will between two different forms: The
flying,
indestructible "Etherform" and a humanoid, weapon-wielding physical
manifestation called a "CAT".
Players start out in Etherform and need to find a zone owned
by
their team in order to manifest as a CAT. As CAT, players take zones
for their team simply by being inside the zone while no enemy CAT is
also present in the zone. The zone then turns red or blue, depending on
which team captured it. If CATs of both teams are present, the zone
remains white.
The game is won if the opposing team has lost all their zones
and has no more players manifested as CAT.
Features include:
- Unique gameplay:
- Players can't "die". If a player loses all his health, he
is simply forced back into Etherform
- Dealing damage to enemies increases/restores a player's
health
- Players can fire and deflect target-seeking discs that
bear an eerie resemblance to the discs in the movie TRON
- All weapons draw from the player's regenerating armor,
which means that firing your weapons makes you more vulnerable to damage
- Players can ride their "Etherboard" to trade agility for
speed
- In-game player chat
- Lots of different weapons including blasters, battle
rifles, sniper rifles, miniguns etc
- Mission Editor
- Mod support
- Unlimited etherboarding
