Gaming News - June 2004
New York, NY (June 29, 2004) - Codemasters announced today that
Soldiers: Heroes Of World War II has shipped to North American retail outlets.
Developed by Ukrainian company Best Way, Soldiers is now available exclusively
for PC/CD-ROM.
“We’re pleased to bring Soldiers: Heroes of World War II to consumers this
summer,” said Marc Bennett, Vice President and General Manager for Codemasters.
“The game’s use of real historic scenarios, along with the plethora of options
players have for vehicles, weaponry and command control, creates one of the most
definitive World War II experiences available on the PC.”
From Codemasters:
Combining the thrills of a 3D shooter and the depth of a real time strategy
game, players must rely on nerves of steel to prevail in 30 missions
incorporating the actions and events of actual war heroes. Soldiers travels into
the heart of combat alongside U.S, British, German and Russian forces, where
players take chances in completely destructible environments as they blow up
railway tracks, kidnap enemy officers, destroy convoys, witness assassinations
and work toward POW rescue. More than 100 accurately modeled vehicles and
weapons with advanced capabilities, including track speed, acceleration, turret
speed, reload rates and armor, help units flee in the wake of heated enemy fire.
In addition, the game’s advanced A.I. allows for enemy attacks in formation,
retreats, ambushes and assistance in looking for cover during an attack.
Introducing a new control method, Soldiers allows players to command troops
using Group Control, with RTS-style “point and click” commands, or Direct
Control, enabling management of individual soldiers and vehicles to take out
specific enemy targets. With the inclusion of Cooperative Campaign and Death
Match multiplayer options for up to four players, Soldiers delivers warfare on a
whole new battlefield.
