Gaming News - June 2004
New York, NY (June 15, 2004) - Codemasters announced today new details
for the co-op multiplayer mode of Soldiers: Heroes of World War II. Soldiers
will be released in the U.S. on June 29.
From Codemasters:
Set to go beyond the call of duty and provide players with an intense online
experience, Soldiers offers an innovative co-op multiplayer mode enabling up to
four players to work through any of the campaigns together. The game allows
players to handpick their troops and take on any of the tactical action missions
in the campaign. Complementing its single player offerings, co-op multiplayer
functionality in Soldiers offers its own game play outcomes and greatly
increases the tactical options available to players.
Following the game’s release, Codemasters will continue supporting the Soldiers
community with additional content in the form of free downloadable upgrades. The
first upgrade will incorporate a new multiplayer mode, Versus, and offer third
party online matching software from GameSpy Arcade. The free, fully functioning
service will make it easier than ever for Soldiers fans to find opponents and
compete head to head in any of the game’s innovative multiplayer campaigns.
The inaugural upgrade release will also form part of Codemasters’ ongoing
anti-piracy and gaming security program. The upgrade will only function with an
original copy of Soldiers and aims to safeguard the game play environment
against others using cheats or those who unfairly hack into the Versus
multiplayer game.
