Description
This game is a tactical ops, rescue mission, save the world shooter. You and a team infiltrate an enemy base or as the opposing team guard the enemy base and have a strategic shoot 'em up. The difference between this one and other shooting games is that you get shot once or twice and you're dead. Meaning mission is over. No extra lives, no respawn point. You'll have to wait until the next level (which is usually about 1-5 minutes depending on when you died). The new release boasts high graphics and the same high quality team oriented combat, that the series is known for.

Trivia
With the Windows 1.5 patch released in December 2003, Ubisoft added a new copy protection scheme as well. The code checks PC's for any clone or virtual drive programs and then fails to launch the game if such devices or programs are found. The EULA does not state once that you are not allowed to have virtual drives on your system during play, it only says that you are not allowed to make copies. While virtual disc tools are often used to prevent physical damage from original CD's or for technical purposes in general, you'll have to uninstall all of them if you want to keep playing.
