"U.S. Special Forces: Team Factor was a huge hit at ECTS. Team play games are extremely popular right now and we expect U.S. Special Forces: Team Factor to be a winner," says Reto Bodmer, president of Xicat Interactive.

U.S. Special Forces: Team Factor has a unique three-team scenario, with each team competing against the other two, all with overlapping objectives. Become a member of an elite fighting force as a soldier, scout, sniper or specialist. Players must move swift, silent and deadly in many drop zones such as a Siberian airfield, a Turkish bath, the Mekong Delta, a Middle Eastern port and locations in the U.S. The 3-D LightForce engine designed specifically for USSF brings the drop zones to life with superior graphics, texture mapping and extraordinarily smooth animations. USSF’s robust multi-player function allows for up to 30 players over LAN or Internet.

USSF requires a combination of strategy, stealth and firepower to accomplish and survive the lethal missions. Teams must work as one, think as one and become one to annihilate the opposition and get to the extraction point. U.S. Special Forces: Team Factor hits the shelves Sept. 24, for the PC and is rated M for Blood and Violence.
