Solo Indie developer Hesketh Studio ltd has released a new update for its RTS*FPS hybrid game Executive Assault 2. This update brings two long requested features to the game: a new game mode which allows the players to dive into a pure FPS multiplayer mode with an AI CEO controlling the RTS elements of the game. This feature, which allows players to focus on the FPS aspect of Executive Assault 2, was only available in the single player mode; this update will allow players to face their friends gun-blazing in a (quite literal) corporate war without having to worry about the strategic side of the game. 
The second key feature of this update is the minimap, an equally important and long requested feature for the game – with it, players gain a better idea of the map, friends and foes as well as objectives.
ABOUT THE GAME
Executive Assault 2 is an indie Real Time Strategy/First Person Shooter hybrid set in space, in which you take the reigns of a powerful interstellar corporation as its CEO, working towards gathering resources and materials and dominating rival factions for wealth and tech in a galactic wild west of chaos and lawlessness. But you can also jump into the boots of individual units to take business in your own hands, defending the interests of your corporation against enemy companies with your guns in a frantic FPS experience.
Command your fleet aboard the bridge of your space station from a top-down perspective. Mine resources on nearby asteroids to produce a wealth of goods to sell to passing traders and grow your armies; Be careful: rival corporations and rebellious protestors will do all they can to thwart your aspirations of intergalactic domination! 
Fed up of watching the action from above and want to dive in and blow stuff up yourself? Seamlessly switch from RTS to FPS mode for manic fast-paced combat; whether that’s playing as a footsoldier defending your base or in the cockpit of a starship under your control.
Help friends run their company in multiplayer mode, with one player assuming the role of CEO and tactician and the other, a soldier or ship unit, with all the loot split straight down the middle.
