INTRODUCTION
************
An alien race, called "The Bugs", have completely used up their planet's
resources. They were on the verge of extinction, so they searched the galaxy
for planets to colonize in. When these aliens found planet Earth, they hatched
a plan for world domination.
These bug aliens have been living underground, creating alien pods and planted
them on the Earth's surface. When these alien pods hatched, the creeplings
would emerge and hunt down the humans and continue their survival. The aliens
were aggressive, and the humans were defenseless.
A top secret organization, called the Armorines (Armored Marines), was the only
way of stopping them. The Armorines wore prototype suits, originally designed
to protect them from nuclear radiation. They soon found out that these suits
could also protect them from attack from the aliens.
These bugs are found in 5 different locations: Siberia, Peru, Hawaii, Egypt,
and the alien mothership called "The Hive".
You are a soldier of this elite army, an Armorine. Go out there and split some
bug shells!

KNOW THE ENEMY
**************
Each bug comes in three sizes: large, normal, and hatchling. The large ones
usually guard temples and entrances. The normal sized aliens are mostly on
patrol and attack from high areas. The hatchlings are the smallest, they'll
emerge from the alien pods. When the creeplings hatch, the first thing they do
is search for their prey.
If you don't want to be seen by the aliens, you'll have to find cover. When you
hide behind an object, the object will block their view from you. Also, if
you're far away from the target, they won't see you because they have poor
sight. They can only see things that are close by.
When you aren't around or if they cannot see you, the bugs will go about
normally without death or destruction in mind. They might look around for
humans to kill or just wait by their posts until they see an enemy. If you
shoot them while they're lounging around, they'll try to find the source of the
shot and destroy it.
They'll battle anything that harms them, even if it means killing their own
comrades. A trick I found out while playing: if the bugs accidentally hurts one
of their own kind, the victim will turn around and try to kill it. I've seen
smaller bugs take down a larger bug, very cool.
