History
Antlion Soccer started development in September 2007, stopped development in Jan 2008, started again in July 2008 and was released on the 29th September 2008.
It was original put together as part of thechineseroom, a research project based at the University of Portsmouth, UK, building experimental FPS mods. The idea was to use the basic deathmatch model but shift gameplay from fragging other players to more conventional, teamwork orientated sports play. A basic arena model was built which was then used as a basis for putting together map variants to diversify gameplay. These maps include the additions of Antlion Guards, Manhacks, Cars and Gun Turrets, plus daytime and nightime versions of the arena.
