Yes, it's the game literally... SOME of you asked for! And so, in the spirit of "well, alright then, if you insist..." we present the third game in the Carmageddon series, in the knowledge that some of you Carma fans out there would like to have a complete Carmageddon collection in your Steam library. Nothing wrong with that.

Anyway, here's what the blurb on the back of the DVD case had to say about Carmageddon: TDR 2000:

Terminator 3: War of the Machines

Submitted by The_cranky_hermit on 6 February, 2007 - 03:03

Terminator 3: War of the Machines is a team-oriented multiplayer FPS from Clever's Games and Atari. It is based on the Terminator 3 universe (having loved The Terminator and hated T2, I haven't seen T3 and can't comment on whether the game follows the movie or not). It takes place in the year 2029, where the machines are attempting to take over the world, and the humans are trying to stop them. You play as a grunt on either side in one of the many battles that occur. Gameplay closely resembles Battlefield 1942.
