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

The PC and console versions of the game are in fact almost entirely different. The levels in the console version are more linear and you're not able to switch between squad members. The storyline and the theme of the levels is pretty much the same though, but that's about it.
