Freedom Games Announces GI Combat Beta
Freedom Games has unveiled GI Combat, a real time strategy game which features three dimensional game play, realistic terrains, and convincing weapons fire. Immerse yourself in the battlefields of World War II and become the ultimate revisionist, outlining strategies that contain the potential for changing the course of history. The weapons that appear in the game are modeled after their historical counterparts that actually made up era's war time arsenals.
Soldiers experience a variety of moods that range from extreme heroism to all out panic. In the real world, soldiers can elect to disobey orders as the morale of their unit wavers. GI Combat simulates this experience as well. Soldiers may seek cover without the presence of a commander or when they are under heavy fire, and conversely rally around an officer when field conditions change. The game replicates all of the hazards of actual combat -- even snipers were not left out.
Freedom Games is seeking a limited number of alpha testers who will be accepted during the initial phases of testing while a larger pool of beta testers are required as the cycle progresses.
