It is played entirely with large mechs called mechanaughts which you can buy in full sets or in seperate parts. You can also buy your own different skills and weapons of a few different types
The matches that are in it consist of
Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch
Capture the Flag
Territory Control
Last Stand (PvE type game)
and i believe thats all. Its always against other players and you can fly solo or on a team. You earn money called credits after every match depending on how you or your team did. It is a very simple game to get the hang of and the graphics are awesome in my opinion. It is probably the best mech game out there as far as internet mmo's go (also opinionated). The community seems pretty cool and if you are lazy or just want different types of things there is an option to buy with real money certain mech parts/weapons/skills with a different type of in game money which is non-tradable.
controls are very simple but it takes skill in order to take down others and survive in certain conditions. Teamwork much of the time is a must and so is maneuvering.
If ya like mechs and playing against other people but dont have the time for a hardcore mmorpg then this game is for you =D.
