Terminator 3: War of the Machines

The gameplay is similar to Counter-Strike and Battlefield .

Teams of people ( English Tech-Com ) and terminators ( English Skynet ) are fighting against each other, trying to destroy as many enemy units as possible in a certain time. At the same time, both sides are trying to capture the bases (key points) scattered around the map. The more bases, the more points the team gains. Capture is made by finding a player at a control point longer than five seconds. If it has already been captured by the enemy, then to unlock you need to hold out an additional five seconds. Both teams have the main base, not subject to capture, where they start the game. There, players can replenish ammunition and restore health.

Players can communicate with each other through a special set of teams, as well as via chat. The killed player returns to the game after ten seconds. However, before this, he can change the character, weapons, or even go to the enemy side.

For a single game, just select a card, there are no other settings. On each side there are six opponents and 20 minutes of time is given. The winner is the team that has more points for capturing and controlling bases.

In a multiplayer game settings much more. You can set up any time, connect up to 32 players on each side (if the balance of forces is equal, then 16 each), the number of bots and their level of intelligence are adjusted. There are two more modes: mission (defense by people of the same base) and deathmatch (there are no bases, points are collected only for the destruction of the enemy). The network game is provided by the GameSpy service.

There are ten characters in the game with their own set of weapons, advantages and disadvantages. There are also several types of multi-seat transport with an additional firing point.

12 cards are available. Three cards recreate locations from the third film during the Doomsday in 2004 , and two of them have versions already destroyed by the war. The rest is a dilapidated Los Angeles in 2029 .

Most critics have responded negatively about the game. The Game Rankings site rated the game at only 27.67%, and Metacritic at 25%.

Jamie Madigan from GameSpy called the game “a bad imitation of Battlefield 1942, ” noting the poor organization of matches and the lack of dedicated servers for an online game.
