his new beta test will feature all new content including a new
free-for-all mode which does away with teams and places players on a
map to have an all out war with each other. The player with the most
kills when time ends is the winner! A new map is also featured that is
ideal for a multitude of different play styles introducing lots of
places to hide and great sniping locations. Three new guns round out
the new content; G36K, SPAS12 and a Mac10.
"The addition of a
new Free-for-all mode and the additional maps and weapons available in
this new beta test are a great sneak peek at the final game players
will see later this fall," said JK Kim, CEO of Uforia. "As we continue
the development process, the gameplay experience is getting more and
more intense and we look forward to seeing our growing community
challenged as they give it a try."
The Mercenary Wars team has
even more planned for the four day Closed Beta including the
"Death(adder) to your Enemies" contest. In this contest, each kill a
player records is counted as a raffle ticket. Only kills made against
actual players will be counted and not the in-game AI/Bots. At the end
of the event, the raffle tickets will be tallied and three winners will
be chosen at random to receive a Razer DeathAdder Mouse.
Unlike
other first person shooter games available today, Mercenary Wars
features a unique stat system that players can use to upgrade and
customize their lifelike characters. The combat in the game is designed
to feel very realistic, while also allowing players to adjust their
speed, accuracy, and health stats. Mercenary Wars is set in the not so
distant future in a world where order and society as we know them are a
thing of the past. The economies of the world have crashed and have
been replaced with total chaos. New alliances have been forged and the
world is now controlled by well-trained groups of mercenaries. Players
must determine who to swear their allegiance to and fight side-by-side
to the death, if necessary, in the quest to ensure becoming the new
global powerhouse.
Mercenary Wars will also feature an
innovative Artificial Intelligence system where computer controlled
"bots" can be used in several ways ranging from practice to enhancing
game play. Via four difficulty modes, players can select their desired
skill level no matter what their previous FPS experience might be.
Other features include multiple gameplay modes, a variety of character
types and races, extensive ranking system including more than 50
different character ranks and title, an expansive number of weapons and
equipment available for character customization and a built-in
player-to-player audio communication tool for enhanced real-world
combat simulation.
