Ground Control II: Operation Exodus is the next installment in the Ground
Control franchise. 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.
Ground Control II: Operation Exodus chronicles the ongoing conflict between the
Northern Star Alliance and the Terran Empire. Having lost 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.
Ground Control II: Operation Exodus for the PC has been rated “T” for teen by
the ESRB carries a suggested retail price of $49.99.
