"We are especially thrilled to see Full Spectrum Warrior nominated alongside some of the biggest brands in gaming," said Tiffany Ternan, senior vice president of North American sales and distribution, THQ. "Full Spectrum Warrior's unique third-person squad-based, tactical-action gameplay depicting a modern urban warzone set itself apart at the show, garnering tremendous response among each of our key constituencies – from retail to press to the analyst community."
Full Spectrum Warrior is based on a light infantry-training simulator designed by Pandemic Studios for the U.S. Army as a tool to reinforce Army doctrine and squad tactics among troops. Incorporating squad-based, tactical-action for the first time in any game, Full Spectrum Warrior delivers the experience of squad level command in the heat of battle. The product was developed with expertise from University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies, which worked with Pandemic to bring state-of-the-art technology to the game. Designed to simulate today's challenges of urban combat missions, Full Spectrum Warrior delivers a level of realism and accuracy that has never been seen in a military-based game.
