FireTeam

Set in a dark future after the great nuclear war scorched the earth, gangs within the former suburbs of the larger cities battle it out for control. No one is safe but the ones with weapons. Weapons are stolen and traded within the few places that still could be called cities.

In FireTeam you control one gang living in these ruins. For domination and control you will battle other gangs, steal weapons and money, capture hostages and try to stay away from threats.

FireTeam is played as a network game between two (or more) players. Each player controls a team of around 5 members and moves them around the ruins or wrecked buildings in which that particular scenario is played out. Each scenario has a set objective which could be to assassinate someone, capture some important information, steal weaponry, or just a frontal assault. It features an easy to use map/scenario editor to provide you with unlimited possibilities.

In between scenarios, you can purchase equipment and hire new members to your team.
