About the Game
Skira is a lovely little island in the Pacific Ocean just north of Japan and was always the center of many conflicts because of its strategic value. Sadly, nice beaches and crystal blue water isn't the only thing Skira has to offer. After the second world war, the Russians managed to gain control over the island and found a huge oil deposit of a size similar to the ones in the middle east. No one cared at first but China's economy grew and grew and with it their need for oil.
Story & Setting
As Russia was preparing for the worst-case-scenario, General Zhang suddenly invaded Skira saying that the island is the rightful historical property of China.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Since Russia is too busy preparing for a possible war against China on the ground, they ask the USA for assistance in regaining control over the island. players moves through the mission areas in a typical first-person-shooter fashion and has to fulfill certain objectives like blowing up a generator or taking out anti-air-guns in order for the invasion to move along. But since realism plays an important part in this game, players can't just walk up to the enemy base and shoot everyone. Instead he and his three squad-mates have to use the different stances like crouching and couching to move from cover to cover in different formations and think before a bullet is fired or in short: players need to take a tactical approach in order to not end up dead in the high grass. In addition, players can change the weapons-load-out of each team-mate (and himself) at the beginning of each mission to what best fits the situation.
Standout Features
- To that end, he has a radial, context-sensitive menu at his disposal with which he can give specific orders to his teammates.
- MK16 MOD: The armory only covers real-world weaponry like the MK16 MOD 0 Assault Rifle.
- Depending on where and how badly he has been wounded e.g. his arm, his ability to keep his weapon straight decreases.
- A major part of the experience is several multiplayer-modes.
- Destruction: The players can either take on the whole campaign together or just one mission or engage each other in "Destruction", which is similar to Team Deathmatch, or "Infiltration" in which the smaller team has to fulfill an objective while the other has to prevent it from destroying their target.
- The PC-version also includes a powerful map-editor.
- If all the sneaking didn't help and combat ensues, players have to watch both his blood- and injury-status.
- In addition each wound causes players to loose blood and of course once he has lost too much blood, he'll lose consciousness and the mission is over.
Modes & Ways to Play
As opposed to the single-player campaign where players have only limited access to vehicles like jeeps or helicopters, the selection in multiplayer is much greater and covers everything from a HUMVEE to a AH-1 Cobra helicopter.
