Focus Multimedia | For Immediate Release - April 2005
The setting is June 1944, and the Germans are continuing their aggressive invasion... it's your job to take control of the Allied forces in campaigns ranging from D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge, in this authentic re-creation of World War II combat.
In lush 3D environments, command paratroopers, Snipers, Sherman tanks and Jeeps as well as auxiliary forces, using a vast amount of authentic infantry, vehicles and weaponry on offer to facilitate your goals.
The massive levels and sophisticated AI realistically portray the impact of war on your troops and on the land - buildings collapse and mortars blow craters in the ground as smoke and fire drift across the battlefield, and the morale and behaviour of your troops changes in reflection of the horrors of war.
Key Features:
Dynamic 3D engine incorporating 'true line of sight', advanced '3D hearing' systems, seasonal lighting, landscape scarring and multiple stage destruction.
Revolutionary control system, allowing for complex layered strategies and intense micromanaged battles.
An intuitive camera system allows you to zoom, rotate, tilt and pan through the action.
Advanced morale system reflects how your troops are feeling - troops with low morale will react less effectively, whereas troops with high morale may perform heroic actions.
Play 2 distinctively different game modes: 'Recruit' offers fast-paced action over 12 levels and 'Veteran' provides a deeper tactical experience set over 25 levels. Both allow you to relive many classic battles including Utah Beach and Operation Market Garden.
4-player multiplayer via LAN or Gamespy. Build your own armies using both Allied and Axis troops across 35 levels and 4 game types.
