For Immediate Release
Staten Island, NY, Jan 11th, 2005 - Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com) and Playnet (www.playnet.com) are pleased to announce that the first person shooter and massive multiplayer game Battleground Europe (www.battleground-europe.com) has brought a new class into the virtual battlefield; the Sniper. This new addition comes hot on the heels of the game's availability in North America from the Matrix Games store.
The sniper unit is armed with a historically accurate scope that modifies the standard issue rifle. These elite troopers are fast, stealthy, and dangerously accurate. No commander is safe from the crosshairs of a skilled sniper. Due to their limited ammunition, the sniper unit will always be on the move to strike and return to base for re-supply.
The full release in North America provides the latest version and goodies that were included in the European release last month. Enjoy a huge variety of extras, such as a 150-page game manual in electronic form, a combat equipment guide, wallpapers, game music, comics and more! Included is a key for 30 days of FREE play- a $19.99 value!
The Battleground Europe world features over 600 cities and 29,000 buildings. The zoneless map covers 350,000 Km (Over 217,000 miles) of terrain with a whopping 4,000,000 trees. Battles can rage for days and the servers can support thousands of players online simultaneously.
Whether you want to be a British Sharpshooter or a German fighter-pilot, Battleground Europe has an assignment waiting for you. Every soldier can make a visible contribution to the final shape of the battle for Europe!
Battleground Europe is available via the Matrix Games Online Store digital download and game on demand. Pricing is US $19.99 for the immediately available download version and US $29.99 for the boxed version.
