Fire up the tanks, break out the guns and clear the streets: The modern warfare, Unreal Engine 3-powered Alliance of Valiant Arms (A.V.A.) celebrates the beginning of its open beta testing (OBT) on the hardcore online gaming portal ijji.com with a battery of action and a reign of bullets. Any one brave enough to enter the OBT should prepare to experience an intense combat twitch-based, fast multi-player online first-person shooter (MOFPS) from which only few survive.

Adrenaline spikes, grenades drop and the unmatched battles of Alliance of Valiant Arms will rage on PCs everywhere as open beta opens today and runs through Nov. 11, 2009. The hardcore fragger nation will revel in the fast-paced, unforgiving action and get lost in the crisp realism of the new maps introduced exclusively for the OBT launch.

“A.V.A. is a hardcore modern warfare first-person shooter player’s dream, offering superior life-like graphics and sounds with all the action, explosions and mayhem FPS players love – and it’s free!” said Philip Yun, CEO, NHN USA, which hosts ijji.com. “Set in an eerily deserted urban setting, A.V.A. is prepared to blow away any free-to-play stereotypes and it will keep even the most loyal PC and console players online for ‘one more game’.”

In Alliance of Valiant Arms, a siege of modern warfare hits combat zones around the globe where a formidable battle has broken out between the European Union (EU) and the Neo Russian Federation (NRF) in an epic struggle for dominance.  Players are tasked with picking a side and squaring off in an unprecedented clash amongst skyscrapers and deserted city blocks.  With the signature quick-fragging action of the Unreal Engine 3, combat escalates quickly and tensions run high as players anticipate a bloody clash around every corner.  Europe has yet to see more ominous missions or relentless enemies as seen on the streets of Alliance of Valiant Arms.
