The Mother-ship of all Death/Flag Match genre games. Games like Unreal, Halo and many more borrowed from it.

Since I played the game during the late 90's, I will review the game in comparison
to the technologies and games available at that time.

Game Play and its Contents:
1. The shooting system is revolutionary, like jumping and shooting, turning 360 degrees and shooting in the air.
2. The gore was absolutely brutal for that time. Severed limbs and bodies.
3. The maps were amazing for that time. They were built for death matches!! and none of them disappointed.
4. The weapons available were amazing, the rocket launcher in particular was probably the most bad ass and the most used weapon in the game.
5. The Graphics were top notch for that time. Lag free and constant frame rate. Except for some hiccups when dying during a fall (but why does that matter when you are dead).

All in all if you have missed this game, you owe it to yourself to get it and play it. Because this is what started it all in this genre.
This game is to Death Match genre games what Black Sabbath is to Heavy Metal.
