In response to a series of high casualty terroist attacks to its military
research facilities, Visitaria, a multinational corporation involved with
military and space industries, established training facilities to prepare

from around the world, the first squad of highly trained, male and female
soldiers are set to begin a harsh and violent program designed to
transform them into the world’s ultimate counter-terrorism weapon.

As a member of this squad, your goal is to vie for supremacy among your
fellow trainees. Utilize the various weapons at your disposal while learning
to capitalize on your strengths and minimize your weaknesses in the various
missions available. Get to know your opponents and master the techniques
required to dispose of them quickly and effectively in the versus mode. Then
go online and use every ounce of your cunning and tactical experience to
exert your dominance on the Outtrigger network.
