International Online Soccer
Encyclopedia
International Online Soccer or IOS is an online multiplayer soccer game developed by Mark Gornall aka Routetwo. The game is a modification of the Half-Life engine. It is played in first and third person. IOS is intended to be an online equivalent to popular console soccer games but with the multiplayer experience of an online game. Instead of controlling a whole team of players, you control just 1 player and play football with other human players on the server.
There are three types of match mainly played in International Online Soccer. These being the common 6 versus 6 matches where teams play with a Goalkeeper, 2 defenders, 2 wingers and a centre forward. The other type of match is the now uncommon 7 versus 7 map in which a map maker (Captain Caffeine) made a larger map to fit in another player. In the 7 versus 7 matches usually an extra defender is appointed but sometimes a team plays with a central midfield player who acts as an attacker and a defender. The third type of match is played on an Indoor map. These matches are played 3 versus 3 and each player usually plays a third of the game in goal, third of the game in defence and a third in attack.
