Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) announced today that Ground Control® II: Operation Exodus, the next installment in the Ground Control franchise, has shipped to retail stores nationwide. Developed by Massive Entertainment, in a departure from traditional RTS games, Ground Control II: Operation Exodus focuses on tactical combat with minimal time spent on resource management. Instead of harvesting resources and building bases, the game keeps the action hot and heavy by immediately rewarding players for accomplishing objectives. Additionally, the unique multiplayer drop-in mode allows players to instantly join an ongoing game at any time, for any length of time.
The game chronicles the ongoing conflict between the Northern Star Alliance and the Terran Empire. After losing the war in space the NSA retreats to their home world and forces the Terran Empire to engage in a savage war of attrition on the ground. As a Captain in the field, players can command a task force consisting of infantry, tanks, artillery and aircraft alone in the single player campaign or with other players via LAN or Internet.
A single player demo and a multiplayer demo of Ground Control II: Operation Exodus can be found on the official website http://www.groundcontrol2.com . Ground Control II: Operation Exodus for the PC has been rated “T” for teen by the ESRB and carries a suggested retail price of $49.99.
