Description

Painkiller is a first-person horror shooter, designed to satisfy a gamer's hunger for intense, fast-paced action. It's an adrenaline addict's nightmare, where hellish monsters swarm in seemingly endless mobs. Graphically, Painkiller is unmatched. Played out over more than 20 completely unique and different levels, the proprietary 3D engine puts out 100X the polygons of the latest shooters, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing techniques. Stranded in a place between Heaven and Hell, your time of judgment is at hand. The Underworld is on the verge of unholy war, and you are but a pawn in the infernal battle. As you fight for your purification, the truths behind the deceptions are revealed. Features: - Intense gameplay: The player will be constantly outnumbered, fighting against seemingly insurmountable odds. - Next-generation graphics: The game uses the proprietary 3D ?PAIN Engine? capable of pumping out 100X the polygons of some of the latest shooters, while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing techniques. - Lasting replay value: Painkiller features a standard single player campaign, with additional modes to encourage replay. The game also features full multiplayer support. - Combo weapons: All weapons come in pairs, with a primary and secondary fire. - Morphing: Your unholy pact gives you the power to morph into a powerful possessed creature with every 100 souls collected. - Monster AI: Advanced AI coding will simulate group behaviours. Monsters don't spawn onto the map, they patrol. They are constantly aware of the player, and will coordinate their attacks by retreating, regrouping and counterattacking. - Physics Engine: Painkiller employs the Havok 2.0 physics engine, allowing for inverse kinematics ("rag-doll physics") and deformable, interactive environments Multiplayer Game Modes (up to 16 players): - Free-for-All: The object of the game is to kill as many opponents possible within the time limit set by the game's host, or to achieve the frag limit. It is kill or be killed, and you are on your own. - Team Deathmatch: You and your teammates set out to slaughter as many members of the opposing teams as possible within the set time limit. - People Can Fly: Using ony the Rocket Launcher/Chaingun, you must achieve the frag limit or score the most hits before time runs out. The catch is that you can only damage your opponents when he's airborne. - Voosh: Everyone starts out with the same weapon with infinite ammunition. There are no other weapons on the map but, at preset intervals, everyone's weapon is switched to a different weapon. - The Light Bearer: There is one Quad Damage power-up available and it never expires! The first player who grabs it continues to use it until he is killed, at which point it is once again up for grabs.
