I just found my copy again. It was buried in my programs menu.

Anyway, if you haven't heard of it, it's an open source game that runs off the classic quake engine (I think, can't really remember). It's free, so don't expect too much, graphics aren't great, but they'll suffice for the great gameplay it has to offer.

There are two teams, humans and aliens. Humans have guns, armor, helmets, jetpacks, everything you'd expect out of a human team. However the alien team is a little different, you attack by biting, pouncing, trampling, spiting acid etc. In essence, the aliens are really, REALLY overpowered spiders, they even look like them.

Combat works like this: There are three stages to the game, with every stage both sides, human and alien, get new classes/guns with more and more powerful attributes. For instance, in the first stage the aliens can only get biting/pouncing/grabing classes, into stage two the get one that can electrically shock and another that can make humans dizzy with a poisonous gas. into stage three they get another class that can spit out barbs for a ranged attack, and the all powerful tyrant class, it can charge to run humans over or simply swipe them with it's large arms(if you want to call them that)

Just a few screens of the game
what most of the aliens look like, only the differ in color, size, etc.

Wow, I typed waaaaay more than I planned to...
 
I used to love this game, even if I was terrible at it. Ill have to download it again sometime. Its very similar to Natural Selection if anyone liked that. Hope to see you in game sometime!
