Mission Against Terror Online is the newest free to play first person shooter to invade the country. Developed by Kingsoft, China and published by Gamepad Interactive, Inc., Mission Against Terror or MAT offers an exciting online game with Real Gun-PKing tournament which may sound like it has already been done, however it’s not been done quite like this before.

Beyond the expected elements of most other FPS games, Mission Against Terror offers sophisticated modern weapons, strategically designed maps, diversified gaming modes, and personalized armor and equipment. MAT offers a combination of non-traditional features that blend unexpected elements to cater to a variety of FPS game players.

What are these features and game modes?

These features are unexpected and purely entertaining, giving FPS a quirkiness that hasn’t been offered before. These features include dance as a tactical move, where lost HD is recovered by dancing. This should come in handy during Sabotage, or other non-spawn matches.

Dance is not the only feature that gives MAT its unique flavor, other features such as polymorph grenades turn timed destruction into a tactical and humorous costume party. The polymorph grenades turn opponents into turtles or pigs after which they are easily slain. A peek at the game with these two features should be enough to know that MAT is FPS evolution.

Game Modes:

For the FPS, modes make the game. These game modes are sure to satisfy even the most fickle of battle tactic addicts.

Free For All Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch has either individuals or teams racking up points for the most kills within a time limit.

Extermination is the objective to wipe out the entire opposing team. Players may respawn but not until the end of the round.

Sabotage is the standard bomb squad versus the terrorist bomber. Diffuse the bomb or get diffused yourself.

Infiltration is the mastery of invasion. Infiltrate into enemy territory, the team that has infiltrated the most enemy zones, wins.

Mummy Mode adds a novelty to MAT that makes it the FPS supreme. Anubis The Mummy is randomly infected upon a soldier and this soldier goes haywire. Once attacked by The Mummy, the attacked becomes infected themselves and sets out to attack other soldiers. Just like the infamous zombie movies where it’s kill or be eaten. Once everyone has turned into a mummy, the match ends.

Phantom Mode is another flavor of the novelty that MAT has to offer. This is similar to Sabotage except there is one team of phantoms, that are next to invisible. These melee toting phantoms will require a completely different set of battle tactics from armed soldiers. The only way to win is to annihilate the entire team, since respawns only happen after the round.

These modes, features and much more make Mission Against Terror a game to be reckoned with in the MMOFPS arena. With its variation and novelty Mission Against Terror is set to take on the casual gaming world like a Phantom on Mummy Mode.
