Gaming News - November 2004
New York, NY (November 4, 2004) - Codemasters announced today the
availability of a content upgrade for Soldiers: Heroes Of World War II.
Expanding game play and adding new multiplayer combat modes and maps, the
content upgrade is available as a free download from
www.codemasters.com/soldiers.
From Codemasters:
In addition to the Deathmatch and King of the Hill combat modes, new
team-based multiplayer modes include Assault, Battle Zones and Escort. In
Assault, one team must hold an area, create sniping points, lay mines and other
defensives while the opposing team infiltrates and eliminates the opposition. In
Battle Zones, the team objective is to capture strategically placed flag zones
to rack up points, which contribute to a final winning total. However, the zones
can be retaken, so players must weigh the benefits of defending a few zones or
trying to take them all over at once. Alternatively, players can try
safeguarding a convoy of trucks in the Escort multiplayer mode. The defending
team, armed with infantry and vehicles, must attempt to get its trucks from one
side of the map to the other. However, the attacking team, which only has access
to infantry units, is tasked with stopping the defenders using a host of sneaky
ambush tactics, such as sniping placements, mine laying and setting up machine
guns at choke points.
For those eager to test their luck in new environments, the Soldiers content
upgrade features 12 new multiplayer combat maps, including Forest, Island,
Trench, Port and Village. In addition, the upgrade includes new units for
Allied, Russian and German troops plus a host of technical and game play
enhancements.
Delivering the thrills of a 3D shooter and the depth of a real time strategy
game, Soldiers is currently available exclusively for PC/CD-ROM. For more

ABOUT SOLDIERS: HEROES OF WORLD WAR II
With intense wartime scenarios where bold decisions and reckless heroics are the
order of the day, Soldiers drops you into the heart of the most incredible WWII
battlefields where your crack squad of commandos are up against overwhelming
odds. Using stealth, guile, speed and aggression, missions involve blowing
railway tracks, kidnapping enemy officers and destroying convoys with most of
the action taking place behind enemy lines! Soldiers lets you command troops by
either using group-control RTS style point-and-click commands or you can go
right into the thick of the action with Direct Control, which enables you to
take control of individual soldiers and vehicles to take out specific enemy
targets. Developed by Ukrainian company Best Way, Soldiers: Heroes of World War
II is now available for PC/CD-ROM.
