The name stuck like glue. After two weeks of development the first prototype of the mod was missing complete with lots of wacky sounds courtesy of Digital Paint. Work continued on and off for the next eight or so months with a couple major and a lot of minor versions released. Assim's still bound together by that same rich Star Trek glue, but the theme has little to do with the mod's game play. Assim is carnage plain and simple.
Assimilation also has over twenty new weapons in the form of weapon upgrades.
To get your hands on more powerful weaponry you have to find weapon upgrades that are scattered around the level. Assimilation's weaponry is far different from that found in any other mod to date. Assim changes all that. Don't be surprised when a guy with a shotgun puts an end to your railing streak. Or if you get blow out of your favorite camping spot by a guided missile.
