War Front: Turning Point - Atari Planning to Release 10TACLE STUDIOS Eagerly Awaited 3D RTS in March 2007
Developed by Digital Reality, War Front: Turning Point looks at an "alternate reality" to World War II where Hitler is assassinated early on and new powers take over the German command and begin using experimental weapons. In addition to a refreshing storyline, the game will offer players sophisticated resource and technology management systems combined with action packed, in-your-face combat. Players can choose what missions to fight, what troops to use, and when to call in reinforcements. Completing objectives and capturing strategic locations such as train stations or airfields in each mission will make it easier to win subsequent campaigns. Each mission has multiple primary and secondary objectives providing almost limitless strategic choices.
Two comprehensive single-player campaigns portray an epic struggle of good-versus-evil with over 90 minutes of video sequences, detailed characters and fast-paced tactical matches. At the same time, an action-packed multiplayer mode allows for up to ten players to compete either against or alongside each other in teams or as individuals playing as the Soviets, Germans or Americans. The perfect balance of power between the factions in the multi-player mode guarantees players can enjoy online matches in the long term.
