Gaming News - June 2004
New York, NY (June 7, 2004) - Kuma\War has launched a pack of three
tactical exercises designed for multiplayer and created by Kuma military advisor
Staff Sergeant Dan Snyder and a team of multiplayer map designers.
From Kuma\War:
Kuma\War’s latest release demonstrates basic military squad tactics and
scenarios including ambushes and challenges in different types of terrain. Each
of the three mission maps in the multiplayer pack features detailed tactical
commentary from Sergeant Snyder to prepare players prior to embarking on each
tactical situation.
The first map, Patrol Ambush re-creates a typical ambush situation that U.S.
troops might experience. Players are lured into a ‘”kill-sack” (trap) and learn
the tactics required to survive. The other maps, Desert Town and Coastline focus
on challenges soldiers face due to varying terrain and climate. Players learn
squad-based tactics and how to adapt them to a wide range of physical and
man-made geographies.
“Sergeant Dan Snyder, formerly of the US Marine Modeling and Simulation
Management Office, was the creator of Marine Doom, and has first-and knowledge
of how the military uses game-like simulations,” said Keith Halper, CEO, Kuma
Reality Games. “Kuma\War brings these tools out of military labs and puts them
into the hands of the American public.”
In the coming weeks, subscribers can expect to receive more missions that
further explore the explosive situation in Iraq leading up to the June 30
hand-over of power, including missions in Fallujah and in Baghdad’s Sadr City.
Kuma will also respond to breaking news events as they occur around the world.
Kuma\War is available online for free download and trial with no credit card
required at www.kumawar.com
or can be purchased for a $9.99 monthly subscription fee. As a salute to the men
and women in uniform who have served their countries, Kuma Reality Games will
donate $1 of all paid subscriptions to The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which
was created to assist the families of the nation's fallen heroes killed in duty.
Kuma Reality Games is offering a free Kuma\War subscription to everyone with a
“.mil” email address until June 30th.
