Iron Grip : The Oppression has a completely new kind of gameplay, combining First Person Shooter with Real Time Strategy elements in a way never done before.
One team consists of one human player, playing a full RTS style game, building and commanding AI troops while the opposing team consisting of human FPS players only!
The new techniques provide the gamer with rising tension in a full scale city war. The beautiful fantasy architecture and other elements which colour this mod brings the player right into the Iron Grip conflict. The small cooperative aspects of the FPS team intensify the need for teamwork to an ultimate level.
Iron Grip : The Oppression is not just meant to provide new gameplay. It also gives players a small taste of what the developing Iron Grip universe is like.
Gameplay
In Iron Grip : The Oppression there are 2 teams. One is the Resistance, and the other is the Rahmos.
Rahmos contains of one main player. This player is the General of the local Rahmos forces. He starts in his HQ and commands his armies via an RTS interface. He can construct infantry and vehicles to attack the Resistance and capture their key locations. If the Resistance team grows in size, another player can join the Rahmos side.
This player also plays an RTS. However he can only command the troops which have been assigned to him by the general.
Rahmos has one General Unit which it needs to protect in order to survive. This unit can be taken over in FPS mode by the Rahmos RTS player.
The Resistance side play a pure FPS. Instead of spawning as regular troops, the Resistance players can choose a character, which they can develope throughout the game. This character is unique in weaponry as in appearance and skills and therefore can only be selected by one player. The Resistance forces earn skill points throughout the round. With these skill points they can buy new skills or revive their Hero once killed.
Their mission is to hunt down and kill the Rahmos General Unit, so anarchy will force the Rahmos City Legions to withdraw.
Rahmos on the other hand has 3 random Resistance Key Locations to secure. These are spread randomly throughout the map. If all 3 are secured by the City Legions Rahmos wins the round.
It is an exciting new cat and mouse gameplay in which the Rahmos forces outnumber the Resistance. The Rahmos vehicles are also something which the Resistance must fear. While Rahmos commands the streets, the Resistance must play smart, hide in the buildings, and work together. Don't underestimate Rahmos. Other than their large numbers they have numerous tricks up their sleeve. Guerrilla warfare is now fought...

i love how this mod says its so original but when Zombie master came out earlier and is much more popular, Same thing One Zombie master vs. 19 human survivors = good fun. This just no one ever plays :(((
Its a good mod but the devs abandoned it to make a full game of it Iron Grip: Warlord
REALLY!!!! cool this is the mod ever ,when the game come out it gonna be too.
eastern standard time man go to school they teach u this stuff there
Great mod, just wish there were more servers up!
On average how many servers are there that have people playing in them?
zero.... And not making it up.
thanks now i see this will be pointless to dl they need bots in these bloody mods so it doesnt suck so much they gotta stop looking up at the clouds and bring themselves to reality with the amount of mods in production there is guna rarely ever be enough ppl to play with so at least make it so some die hard fans will play the thing ive seen many that have no bots no servers and most of all no way to play get realistic for gods sake make bots :( otherwise ur game will die and just be wasted code...
There are about 5 servers that are always up
they are 0/10 most of the time but if you join the group and contact anyone thats online you can quickly get a full server just like that ( also having other players join in randomly ).
There is also an event happening every Saturday where we fill the servers and have a good game of Iron Grip, hope to see you there!
