## What it is
A complete first-person multiplayer shooter sample project built in Unity 2018.3 with full source and assets, created by Unity Technologies to showcase HDRP, the network transport layer, and ECS patterns. It is no longer actively maintained and serves as a learning resource and reference for game teams.

## Use cases
- learn how to build a multiplayer fps in unity
- study netcode and client-server game networking patterns
- example of using unity ecs in a real game
- bootstrap a shooter project from full source and assets
- reference for hdrp graphics content authoring
- understand how to run a dedicated linux game server

## When to choose
- you want a complete, production-quality reference for a multiplayer shooter in Unity
- you are learning game networking, ECS patterns, or HDRP workflows from real code
- you are on Unity 2018.3 and want to extract tools or inspiration

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project on a modern Unity version - the project is unmaintained and tied to Unity 2018.3
- you need a supported engine or up-to-date netcode
- you cannot clone with Git LFS or handle an ~18GB asset repository

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: game-engine, networking, simulation
- domain: gaming-tools, tutorials
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: unity, fps, multiplayer-shooter, sample-project, hdrp, ecs, csharp, netcode, game-development, linux
