Nine multiplayer maps supported up to eight players over the internet or a local network. The game used the GIN 3D engine previously tested in Ballistics, with real-time deforming explosions, vehicle physics, pixel shaders and a dynamic lighting and shadow system.
Minimum requirements included a 700 MHz Pentium III and GeForce 3 card. At ECTS it was demonstrated on a three-monitor installation using Matrox Parhelia graphics. The title belongs to the game-development and 3D-animation archive.
