BIONITE: Origins™ is an upcoming, futuristic, first-person shooter & real-time strategy hybrid for the PC and iOS platforms. The core gameplay consists of piloting hovertanks in first-person, destroying other tanks or structures, commanding your squad to attack/defend certain targets, and a full strategy mode with base-building in the Strat game-mode.
Platoon Studios aims to bring back the almost-forgotten FPS/RTS hybrid genre. With BIONITE: Origins™ being called the spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed, 1998 PC game: Battlezone, there's a lot to live up to. But, with the help and guidance of Designer/Lead Designer of Battlezone & Battlezone II -- William Stahl -- the future looks promising.
MULTIPLAYER
We've been working hard towards delivering a fun and refreshing gaming experience for over 2 years now. Our current goal is finishing the basic Multiplayer game-modes, and then releasing the game on Steam. The Multiplayer game-modes being developed are Siege, CTF, Team Deathmatch, DM, and then, a full Real-Time Strategy game-mode (Strat), which you'll be able to control everything on the battlefield from the first-person view (or above with the satellite feature).
Once we're finished developing the basic Multiplayer game-modes (and while you guys are having fun online blowing each other up), we're going to be hard at work developing the Strat game-mode and the Singleplayer missions.
OTHER FEATURES
- Stat-Tracker System
- Ranked Servers
- Persistent Worlds
- AI Formations

This is possibly the worst modern day game music I have ever heard. Please have an option to turn off music.
Also, you guys may need to address whichever vehicle was shown from the cockpit view. The only time that you were able to score a hit was when you went forward, then backward, causing the tank to dip down.
