Massive Content Upgrade For Soldiers: Heroes of World War IIPosted on Thursday, November 04, 2004 @ 04:14:40 pm E.S.T
Codemasters, a leading global publisher of interactive entertainment, announced today the availability of a massive content upgrade for Soldiers: Heroes Of World War II, the company’s innovative real time strategy game. Expanding game play and adding new multiplayer combat modes and maps, the content upgrade is available as a free download from http://www.codemasters.com/soldiers/ .
In addition to the Deathmatch and King of the Hill combat modes, new team-based multiplayer modes include Assault, Battle Zones and Escort. In Assault, one team must hold an area, create sniping points, lay mines and other defensives while the opposing team infiltrates and eliminates the opposition. In Battle Zones, the team objective is to capture strategically placed flag zones to rack up points, which contribute to a final winning total. However, the zones can be retaken, so players must weigh the benefits of defending a few zones or trying to take them all over at once. Alternatively, players can try safeguarding a convoy of trucks in the Escort multiplayer mode. The defending team, armed with infantry and vehicles, must attempt to get its trucks from one side of the map to the other. However, the attacking team, which only has access to infantry units, is tasked with stopping the defenders using a host of sneaky ambush tactics, such as sniping placements, mine laying and setting up machine guns at choke points.
For those eager to test their luck in new environments, the Soldiers content upgrade features 12 new multiplayer combat maps, including Forest, Island, Trench, Port and Village. In addition, the upgrade includes new units for Allied, Russian and German troops plus a host of technical and game play enhancements.
Delivering the thrills of a 3D shooter and the depth of a real time strategy game, Soldiers is currently available exclusively for PC/CD-ROM. For more information on Soldiers and to access the free content upgrade download, please visit http://www.codemasters.com/soldiers/ .
ABOUT SOLDIERS: HEROES OF WORLD WAR II
With intense wartime scenarios where bold decisions and reckless heroics are the order of the day, Soldiers drops you into the heart of the most incredible WWII battlefields where your crack squad of commandos are up against overwhelming odds. Using stealth, guile, speed and aggression, missions involve blowing railway tracks, kidnapping enemy officers and destroying convoys with most of the action taking place behind enemy lines! Soldiers lets you command troops by either using group-control RTS style point-and-click commands or you can go right into the thick of the action with Direct Control, which enables you to take control of individual soldiers and vehicles to take out specific enemy targets. Developed by Ukrainian company Best Way, Soldiers: Heroes of World War II is now available for PC/CD-ROM.
