Gaming News - August 2002
New York, NY (August 1, 2002) - Codemasters today released details on
some on some of the weapons which will be appearing in IGI2: Covert Strike.
From Codemasters:
IGI 2: Covert Strike brings the world of Project IGI back to PC screens this
Autumn as the acclaimed stealth-based first-person shooter returns, complete
with an arsenal of authentic weapons featuring realistic gun ballistics.
With over 30 firearms, the ballistics system is based on real-world data.
Using a comprehensive physics engine, the ballistics system simulates a range of
weapon effects including:
- Material penetration, such as bullets through wood, steel, plastics and
flesh, is calculated using muzzle velocity, bullet caliber and realistic
material density values – powerful guns can kill two people with one bullet,
or enable the player to shoot though walls and other obstructions.
- 100% realistic fire-rates measured in rounds per minute – experience
incredible fire power with weapons like the G36 Assault Rifle at 750 rounds
per minute, or the Uzi which fires 600 rounds per minute. Players can even use
two Uzi’s at the same time for a devastating 20 rounds per second.
- Hit damage is calculated via muzzle velocity and bullet caliber, as in
real life.
- Realistic and playable cumulative inventory system – the player's ability
to move is affected by what they are carrying and what weapon they are
holding.
- Real-world capabilities accurately simulated, including weight, clip
capacity, reload times, and range.
- Dynamically reactive targeting system – The movement of the targeting
recital will be effected by player movement and stance as well as weapon
specifications like accuracy and kickback.
- Unsurpassed game special effects, created using real-world gun samples,
include realistic muzzle flashes, gun smoke and ejected bullet casings.
IGI 2: Covert Strike is being developed at Innerloop Studios AS, the
Oslo-based team that created the original, and is scheduled to be published by
Codemasters in September on PC CD-ROM. The game’s web site and forum can be
found at: www.codemasters.com/igi2.
