-------------------------------------------------------------
The MOD is team-based featuring one team playing the role of the terrorist and the
other
team playing the role of the counter-terrorist. Each side has access to different
guns and
equipment, as well as different abilities. Maps have have different goals such as:
hostage rescue,
assassination, bomb defusion, Terrorist escape, etc.
Weapons include the usual assortment of pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper
rifles, grenades,
demolition devices. Each side has access to a different subset of weapons so for
example only the
counter-terrorist can use the M4A1, and only the terrorists can use the AK-47.
We are confident that we've created a MOD quite unlike any other. We hope you will
be immersed in
the frightening and intense world of Counter-Terrorism.
