True Combat ELITE

23 Jun

TrueCombat:Elite (TC:E) by ” Team Terminator “  & Studio Groove Six is a modification to first-person shooter Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is based on World War II & weapons and techniques of that time , TC:E modernizes all aesthetic elements of the game while preserving the fast-paced first person shooter style of gameplay compared to my favourite Counter Strike by Valve Corporation. Also in common with Enemy Territory, True Combat : Elite is cross-platform free software with clients for Linux,Windows & Mac OS X. TC:E remains popular and components of the game including maps and weapons are under continuous development .

TC:E puts you into the role of elite mercenary soldier in the conflicts of two internationally operating forces. Sounds cool ,isnt it :)

Game Modes :-

  1. Objective -Each player is deployed(spawns) once per round. As terrorist,  the main aim is to plant a bomb at a specified bombsite and prevent enemy from defusing it till it detonates or to kill all enemies , all this inside a specified timeline . As a special operative, one aims to prevent the terrorists from achieving their goals by killing all the terrorists or defusing their bomb.
  2. Body Count -Deployment comes in 10 second increments. Players that have been killed prior to a deployment are continuously redeployed. Yes, you can call it a deathmatch (kick ass).
  3. Capture The Flag – CTF simulates the game of capture the flag: teams try to bring a flag back to their base from across the map. Unlikely R-obj (known as Reinforced Objective) the goal is to capture as many areas (marked by flags) as possible before the time limit, or the elimination of either team.

Gameplay :-

The gameplay is multiplayer & entirely online .
