Full Spectrum Warrior

THought this was for the Xbox heh... i will have to check it out looks pretty cool.

 

this games demo rocked i cant wait till it comes out

-BTW its a very different game it all has to do with cover and using your squads to cover each other and figuring out where and how to get the op done. It isnt a FPS but instead and squad based RTS. Its got a simple initial learning vurve but probably grows from there(the first(and only) mission was easy).

 

THQ LAUNCHES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FULL SPECTRUM WARRIOR PC

Implement Real Combat Tactics, Battling Enemies with Authentic Weapons

CALABASAS HILLS, Calif., September 21, 2004 – THQ® Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced the release of Full Spectrum Warrior PC. Developed on a parallel path with the critically acclaimed and highly successful Microsoft Xbox® game released earlier this summer, the PC version of Full Spectrum Warrior includes a number of game enhancements and features specific to the PC version – including two bonus levels, enhanced texture and graphic resolution and an intuitive keyboard/mouse control scheme that has been optimized for PC gamers. Developed by Pandemic Studios, Full Spectrum Warrior has shipped to retailers worldwide for a suggested retail price of $39.99.

“We believe Full Spectrum Warrior succeeds in creating an immersive, authentic, and most importantly original military combat game that is compelling to pick up and play,” said Jack Sorensen, executive vice president of worldwide studios, THQ. “It delivers an innovating blending of tactical and strategic squad based combat not seen in many of today's popular military games and carries the genre to a new level of reality and entertainment. Best of all, now PC gamers can enjoy it, better than ever."

In the game, players will command and coordinate the actions of two infantry squads leading them through a hostile urban warzone, as they out think, out maneuver and battle enemies through thirteen levels of intense combat. In addition, players can also go online and team up with a friend for Two-Player Co-Op gameplay. Full Spectrum Warrior is based on a light infantry-training simulator designed by Pandemic Studios for the U.S. Army as a tool to reinforce Army combat doctrine and squad tactics among troops*.

“Not only is Full Spectrum Warrior a unique title, but -- as our Xbox experts who helped me preview the game were more than happy to explain -- it's looking much sharper and arguably easier to control than its console cousin.”
- Gamespy.com

"In our first taste of Full Spectrum Warrior on the PC, one thing is clear: as much energy as Pandemic put into designing the game for the Xbox audience and the Xbox controller, the game is a lot more intuitive on the PC because of the control scheme."

Pretty cool game- unigue(sp?) idea and the voices are very good and suprisingly very funny. If you like squad based shooters like Ghost Recon or Rainbow 6 but you didnt like how it was hard to command them and shot then this is the game for you.
