Gaming News - January 2003
New York, NY (January 16, 2003) - Codemasters today announced the
release of the single player demo for their upcoming game, IGI2: Covert Strike.
From Codemasters:
With just under one month to go until the February 14th launch of IGI 2:
Covert Strike, gamers can today experience covert action IGI style with the
launch of the single-player demo of Codemasters’ stunning stealth-based shooter.
This standalone PC demo is now available for download from
www.codemasters.com/igi2.
Also released for download today is all-new IGI 2 video entitled “Scope.” The
video is available alongside the demo from
www.codemasters.com/igi2.
The IGI 2: Covert Strike playable demo calls for stealth tactics and sharp
shooting skills. The mission is set in a goldmine in the Carpathian foothills of
Romania and casts David Jones as an IGI (Institute for Geotactical Intelligence)
agent, investigating the theft of an advanced nano-technology device by an
organized crime syndicate.
In the demo, players will infiltrate the main enemy compound through
mineshafts from the foothills. A private security firm patrols the mining
facility. A local mafia don backs the security firm and the security officers
are not considered to be regular civilians - they are armed, and have
instructions to shoot first and ask questions later.
The demo and video also showcases IGI 2: Covert Strike’s incredible visuals
with detailed internal locations and massive outdoor environments with vistas
rendered as far as the eye can see. The fan base for IGI 2: Covert Strike has
been growing massively in popularity since the Multiplayer Beta Test sessions
began last November; even the invite-only Beta Test was a huge success
attracting over 30,000 gamers, double the number expected.
Get the new IGI 2: Covert Strike single-player demo and new “Scope” video
now, both available for free download from
www.codemasters.com/igi2.
