AirBuccaneers (UT2004 total conversion) contains a new multiplayer game type with hot air balloons and cannons. The game is a compelling combination of graceful air ballet, fierce pirate-like action and 3D tactical manoeuvring. AirBuccaneers is targeted for team players who want to experience something unique.

Key features:
- New multiplayer type containing intense and strategic hot air balloon fights
- Heavy emphasis on teamplay and cooperation
- New player models, weapons, graphics and sounds to complete the unique atmosphere
- Different maps for diverse scenarios and objectives
- Unique game concept and original content
- Genre mix (airwar, tactical vehicle ops and "sea" battles)
- Simple control interface (action button, jump, walk, strafe, turn, throw "weapon", F1 for stats)

The game consists of highly original concept and content. The new type of multiplayer game involving intense and strategic hot air balloon fights is crafted by mixing the game genres of airwar and seat battles with FPS aspects.

AirBuccaneers offers simple enough control interface which enables low learning threshold. The players interact and experience their surroundings by using their player characters in the atmospherically engaging virtual world. Thematic player models, weapons, graphics and sounds complete the unique atmosphere.

The high concept of the game is the graceful control scheme of hot air balloons. Slow movement speeds and large-sized targets reduce the amount of hand-eye-coordination and leave more room for strategic and tactical thinking. The adrenalin rush provided by the intense smoke-filled battle of airborne hot air balloons is one of the most important gameplay aspects.

We urgently need more public AirBuccaneers servers! If you have a chance to run your own dedicated server with player limit of 16+, please do not hesitate to put one up and running.

Many thanks to all server admins out there!
