DESCRIPTION

Mobile Forces is a first-person shooter intended for online play. Though players will have the option of competing offline against computer-controlled 'bots, the game concentrates on team-based attacks and multiplayer use of vehicles. Epic's Unreal Engine technology, from the popular Unreal Tournament, allows high-polygon count graphics and static meshes to produce complex terrain environments. Eleven different environments, including ice bases and shopping malls, and eight different game modes offer diversity.

Players are allowed to switch between classes during play, instead of waiting to die and re-spawn, allowing strategies to be changed on the fly. The vehicle physics engine realistically models handling and accurately captures damage. When the tires are shot out, the vehicle handles sluggishly; if the gas tank is successfully targeted and hit, the vehicle explodes. Players can drive vehicles, or they can choose to ride "shotgun" while a teammate pilots. Online play is split between two teams, red and blue, with players allowed to choose and switch sides (though not in the middle of battles). ~ Mark Hoogland, All Game Guide
