formidable Ogres, Vores and indestructible Schamblers.
Mission Pack: Scourge of Armagon - Blast through 15 monster infested levels single-handed

motion-sensitive mines; blood leeching gremlins and nail-hammering centroids as you battle your
way through the forces of evil.

lava-nails, multi-grenades and plasma gun against a selection of terrifying creatures including
the electric eels, the Almighty Overlord and the terrifying Dragon in 16 single-player levels.

haunting 3D environments with a choice of 55 mission-based levels, 64-player DeathMatch and
'Capture The Flag'.
Mission Pack: The Reckoning - Pillage eighteen levels of industrial-landscape infested with
a cast of terrifying enemies. Using your skill and weapons including the ricocheting Ion Ripper,
and Phalanx Particle Cannon to burn a path through Gekks and Bots and finally settle the score!
Mission Pack: Ground Zero - The Stalker, Daedalus and Black Widow make an unwelcome return
