Atari UK Signs 'War Front: Turning Point'

by Rainier on Jan. 16, 2007 @ 10:45 a.m. PST

War Front: Turning Point explores an alternate World War II, one in which Hitler is assassinated in the early days. This new timeline includes more than just new leadership. Players will take command of experimental weapons, prototype vehicles and units rarely seen in strategy games in an attempt to alter or secure the historical outcome of World War II.

Exploring an alternative approach on World War II, one in which Hitler is assassinated in the early days, players will take command of experimental weapons, prototype vehicles and units rarely seen in strategy games in an attempt to re-write or secure the historical outcome.

War Front is a state-of-the-art WWII 3D RTS game providing fast-paced, adrenaline pumping conquests. Players will feel the atmosphere of WW2 in a new environment; besides commanding their existing units, they have to care about reinforcements, resource management and researching new prototypes.

Choose what missions to fight, what troops to use, and when to call in reinforcements. Completing objectives and capturing strategic locations such as train stations or airfields in each mission will help you to win subsequent campaigns. Each mission has multiple primary and secondary objectives that are connected to other missions, providing almost limitless strategic choices.

It's not just High School chemistry teachers who enjoy freezing things with liquid Nitrogen and then easily shattering them - the Soviet faction in War Front: Turning Point also enjoys this handy chemical reaction. To show off the Soviet's use of this technology, we are releasing several new screens of the Ice Spitter Tank - a special ground unit that uses a jet of liquid Nitrogen to freeze enemy units into solid blocks of ice. Once the units are frozen, a simple shot from any ballistic weapon will take them down, unless of course, they manage to thaw out before being hit.
