Activision Declares
History Civil War: Secret Missions
Activision Publishing has announced that HISTORY Civil War: Secret
Missions will be released later this year for the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, Playstation 3 and Playstation 2
computer entertainment systems, and PC. A new episode in the HISTORY Civil
War franchise, the game will allow players to assume the role of Union and
Confederate soldiers fighting behind enemy lines in legendary battles.
"There is
a rich history to the Civil War, especially in terms of covert military
tactics," said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. "American warfare in
the 1860's was brutal yet surprisingly sophisticated, so it was essential
for us to capture this duality."
The
player's goal in HISTORY Civil War: Secret Missions is to disrupt the
armies of both the North and the South by any means necessary, including
conducting train raids, stealing ironclad ships, stopping enemy supply
lines, destroying enemy artillery, and more.
All
events are drawn from the real life actions of famous partisans, scouts,
and rangers -- fight as a member of Mosby's Rangers, Sheridan's Scouts,
and Grant's Secret Service and receive your mission commands from famous
generals including Robert E. Lee, "Stonewall" Jackson, and Ulysses Grant.
The
action in HISTORY Civil War: Secret Mission accurately reflects the
guerrilla tactics of the time period. Weapons include the shotgun, the
pepperbox revolver, and the coffee mill gun. There is heavy reliance on
scouts and naval warfare.
HISTORY
Civil War: Secret Missions, which is not yet rated by the ESRB, will be
available for $49.99 on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 computer entertainment
system, $39.99 for Playstation 2 computer entertainment system, and $19.99
for PC.
