GONE GOLD posted on 27 JAN 2006 by Sean Drummy

No you read that right, its actually a game that isn't about a World War but a War World.

Lighthouse Interactive and developer Third Wave Games have released word that their mech shooter War World: Tactical Combat has reached gold status and will begin its first phase of publication: a Europe-only release. Currently scheduled to ship on February 17th to outlets across the EU, War World is interestingly described by Lighthouse as a title where "ancient enemies must settle age old conflicts through clashes of mechanized warriors in a unique combination of all-out action and active strategy." In addition, Lighthouse assured gamers that War World will have localized versions tailored to accomodate the various languages War World will be released into. German, French and Spanish were mentioned specifically but some additional languages are expected to surface soon as well.

War World involves planet-wide combat where players use futuristic mechanized warriors to battle out age-old conflicts with state-of-the-art technology. War World will arm players with over 50 different weapons systems from long-range missiles and mortars to the brutal close-action mini guns. Aside from the fun players will no doubt have when pumping round after round into their enemies, players will also utilize a wide range of electronic weapons systems, countermeasures, and advanced surveillance technologies to win the battle.

Some features include:

• Take control of a lightning fast and seriously deadly combat mech
  
• Win battles, earn credits and upgrade your combat mech from 6 different mech classes and over 50 powerful weapon systems with loads of upgrades
  
• Up to 9 upgrades for each weapon – missiles, mini-guns, mortars, lasers, mine- launchers and shields
  
• Custom-based – player created game elements
  
• Smooth control system combining the best of 1st and 3rd person games
  
• 100 level singleplayer campaign in 6 difficulty settings
  
• Fast paced and ultra smooth multiplayer action both online and via LAN
  
• 4 game modes in both single- and multiplayer
