==Gameplay==
Aliens from "Alien Mind Control" have kidnapped human soldiers and put their brains into tanks. Then, they set the tanks on replicas of Earth terrains and watch them fight for their own amusement. The player has a mutation that lets him resist their mind control, and has to get off the alien planet.

There are three single-player game modes: in Solo play, the player has to beat level after level, rotating through Lush, Spooky, and Frantic maps with progressively harder bots to fight. A boss level occurs every 4 levels. Target Practice pits a player against an army of disarmed bots to test their aim. Quick Play causes a quick match on any map between the player and 6 bots in "indie" battlemode- anything that moves is a target.

*Battlemode: Anything that moves is a target and must be shot at.
*Team Battlemode: Same as Battlemode, except there are 2 teams.
*"Indie" Scrum: The object is to get the "scrum ball" into the pulsating green goal- by themself, with everyone else trying to do the same thing.
*Team Scrum: Same as Indie Scrum, except 2 teams are trying to beat each other.
*Battle Royale Gameplay

Battle Royale is played as a one on one or two on two game in either battlemode or scrum. The number of players is adjusted depending on the number of players in the server. Points are scored by winning a round, a round consists of 3 matches in battlemode or scrum. The number of matches per round may be varied in game, an on screen display will inform you of the current game settings and clearly shows the number of matches required to win the round. A single team point is awarded for each round won, however if a team wins the round without their opposing team winning a match then two team points are awarded. Individual scoring is based upon a single point for every kill in battlemode and a single point for every goal scored in scrum.

When playing two on two in battlemode the first team mate to be eliminated is put into observer mode and can follow their remaining team player until the match is won, the player in observer in then re-spawned for the start of the new match. When playing two on two in scrum mode eliminated players are re-spawned immediately just like a regular game.
