Details of two events running this month in Uforia's online FPS.

Redwood City, Calif.-September 10, 2009 - Uforia, an online game publisher specializing in massively multiplayer online games, today announced two new events for its upcoming Online Military FPS, Mercenary Wars. The first event "Welcome to Mercenary Wars!" will run from September 14th~September 21st and the second event "Create your own Symbol/Patch" is scheduled to begin September 22nd until the start of the game's closed beta testing.

In "Welcome to Mercenary Wars!" players will create a forum account under the new announcement titled "Welcome to Mercenary Wars!" where they will start with a quick introduction of themselves and a brief list of other games they enjoy playing. Three lucky winners will be picked at random after the event is over to win a Logitech G9x Gaming Mouse! The contest will run September 14 through September 21st.

The second forum event will give players the opportunity to design their own patch or symbol using the program of their choice. The best design will be implemented into the game and appear on the Trainee Character at a later date! The first place winner will have their patch design added to the costume of the Trainee Character and a 9800GT GFX Card. The 2nd place winner will receive a Logitech Gaming Mouse and the 3rd place winner will receive a Steel Series Mousepad.

The contest will run from September 22nd through the start of closed beta testing.

"We are delighted to offer the community these two fun and creative events," said Mike Min, Game Operations Producer of Uforia.

"Mercenary Wars is unlike any other FPS game available, and we want our fans to take part in this unique game right from the start and we look forward to rewarding them for their creativity and innovation."

Unlike other first person shooter games available today, Mercenary Wars features a unique stat system that players can use to upgrade and customize their lifelike characters. The combat in the game is designed to feel very realistic, while also allowing players to adjust their speed, accuracy, and health stats. Mercenary Wars is set in the not so distant future in a world where order and society as we know them are a thing of the past. The economies of the world have crashed and have been replaced with total chaos. New alliances have been forged and the world is now controlled by well-trained groups of mercenaries. Players must determine who to swear their allegiance to and fight side-by-side to the death, if necessary, in the quest to ensure becoming the new global powerhouse.

Mercenary Wars will also feature an innovative Artificial Intelligence system where computer controlled "bots" can be used in several ways ranging from practice to enhancing game play. Via four difficulty modes, players can select their desired skill level no matter what their previous FPS experience might be. Other features include multiple gameplay modes, a variety of character types and races, extensive ranking system including more than 50 different character ranks and title, an expansive number of weapons and equipment available for character customization and a built-in player-to-player audio communication tool for enhanced real-world combat simulation.
