Battlefield
1942: Secret Weapons of WWII
Battlefield
1942: Secret Weapons of WWII significantly enhances the multiplayer
combat experience by bringing the most unique and deadly weapons
from the German and Allied laboratories to life on the battlefields
of World War II. From classified, cutting edge weapons to secret
forces and clandestine places, Secret Weapons of WWII, adds a new
level of drama and excitement to the Battlefield 1942 experience.
This expansion pack features many new vehicles and weapons that
were extremely powerful, yet experimental. While these armaments
and vehicles are rooted in World War II history, many never saw
actual combat-until now.
In
Secret Weapons of WWII, players will engage in war with a choice
of up to 46 vehicles to control. In addition to the 30 vehicles
introduced in the original game such as fighter planes, tanks, and
aircraft carriers, players can operate16 new vehicles including
the Horton HO 229 "Flying Wing" that is equipped with
30 mm machine guns and missiles. Other vehicles consist of a US
Sherman tank with a T-34 Calliope rocket launcher, U.S. T95/T28
Super Heavy Tank, the Sturmtiger (naval gun mounted on Tiger tank),
U.S. Goblin jetfighter, C-47 cargo plane that will serve as a mobile
spawn point, the American Armstrong Whitworth AW-52 advanced fighter,
the German Wasserfall guided anti-air missile and the German Natter
rocket plane. Also, for the first time, Secret Weapons of WWII will
give players the chance to fly and fight at the same time with a
top secret German prototype Rocket Pack.
There
will be seven new weapons including one-shot kill knives. Other
weapons include the Bren light machine gun, Remington Auto 5 shotgun
and the Mauser K98 grenade rifle. Players can put these weapons
to use in eight fresh World War II combat campaigns including Peenemüende,
a V2 research facility, and The Eagle's Nest, Hitler's hideaway.
All new battlefields offer unique settings ranging from nightfall
during the summer in Prague to a winter battle in Norway.
In
addition to offering innovative weapons and vehicles, the game introduces
British Commando and German Elite troops while enriching gameplay
by adding a new "objective based" gameplay mode. In this
new mode, players will be tasked with a specific objective such
as destroying a secret facility in order to win the battle.

Half-Life
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero
Counter-Strike:
Condition Zero (CS:CZ) is a tactical action game that challenges
you to compete with and against cunning computerized opponents
in mission-based campaigns across the globe. As a squad leader
in an elite counter-terrorist operative, use specialized maneuvers
and weapon skills to complete over 20 brand new missions, each
containing numerous objectives. Drop into challenging scenarios
- from harsh jungle environments to severe arctic terrains, unforgiving
deserts to dangerous international city streets. Rescue hostages.
Escort VIPs to safety. Locate and defuse bombs. A collection of
entirely new episodes challenge your ability to think quickly
and strategically.
Counter-Strike
is a modification (MOD) to Valve Software's hit game Half-Life.
It modifies the multiplayer aspects of Half-Life to provide you
with an experience that a trained counter-terrorist unit or terrorist
unit might have. Join either a terrorist or a counter-terrorist
force and play in one of the four types of scenarios. These are:
-
Hostage
Rescue, where the counter-terrorists must rescue hostages.
-
Bomb
/ Defuse, where terrorists must plant a bomb in a critical area
and counter-terrorists must defuse the bomb.
-
Escape,
where the terrorists must escape from the counter-terrorists.
-
Assassination,
Where the VIP must be escorted by the counter-terrorists to
an escape point.
Counter-Strike
is a modification (MOD) to the excellent game, Half-Life. It modifies
the multiplayer aspects of Half-Life to bring to it a more team-oriented
gameplay. Counter-Strike provides you with an experience that a
trained counter-terrorist unit or terrorist unit experiences.
The
MOD is team-based featuring one team playing the role of the terrorist
and the other team playing the role of the counter-terrorist. Each
side has access to different guns and equipment, as well as different
abilities. Maps have different goals such as: hostage rescue, assassination,
bomb defusion, Terrorist escape, etc.
Weapons
include the usual assortment of pistols, shotguns, assault rifles,
sniper rifles, grenades, demolition devices. Each side has access
to a different subset of weapons so for example only the counter-terrorist
can use the M4A1, and only the terrorists can use the AK-47.
