the game its preety nice! i've been playing it for 3 years or so. there are clans, leagues, tournaments. you can create your own maps, you can create your own patchs, etc.

 

if you want some screenshots, check this thread - http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ - and scroll down till you read a post by baltass.

 

i know the graphics might look like *BLEEP*, but, overall the game is preety nice. name registration was closed for about 1 year and a half, that means you coulnd't make new names, so the comunity couldn't grow, and as some people left the game., the community got a bit smaller. but TODAY, name registration was open again, and you can make new names, and new people can register and play this wonderful game.

 

if you start playing, expect to be dominated, cause like i said before, with name registration down, all the people have been playing this game for more then 1 year, and the skill level is higher now.

 

this thread might also be good for anyone that starts playing the game. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

those forums are where everyone that plays ARC hangs around, so don't forget to register there too.

 

post here if you start playing

 

 

Overall Description:

ARC stands for Attack, Retrieve, Capture. It is an Internet-based, multi-player action/strategy game. The basic concept is a simple one, simplicity being the ultimate goal and one of most redeeming qualities of ARC. You fly these "hovercraft" type ships (there is no official name for just what the heck they are, although due to the graphics in the earlier versions of ARC, the term "nipple" was often used, and still is today), and the goal of the game depends on what type of map you choose to join. There are two basic types, one being the flag game, where the object is to pick up all of the flags on the map (however many there may be), and return them to the flag holder at your team's base. The second type is the dueling (fragging) game, where the object is to simply kill, kill, kill.
