Description
Featuring a powerful single-player campaign, along with multiple online multiplayer modes, BlackSite: Area 51 delivers vicious combat action, next generation graphics and A.I., and a plethora of powerful weapons and vehicles. Set in present day, players take the role of a decorated military veteran charged by the government to lead a squadron of “secret soldiers,” each with his/her own specialty skill set, into the Rachel, Nevada area to fight off the invasion of unidentified enemy races.
Features
- A Living, Breathing Squad
As squad commander, Aeran Pierce, you lead Delta Force soldiers who
respond to your every order. Lead well and they’ll rally behind you when the enemy brings the fight, but waver in the face of death and morale will sink fast, affecting the squad’s aim, tactics, fatigue and their will to fight.
- Incredibly Realistic, Fully Interactive World
From the war-torn streets of Iraq to small town USA, you’ll need to use strategic cover points as you blow away your enemies in huge levels where nearly everything you see is destructible.
- One-Button Squad Commands
Command your troops to perform a variety of actions, including planting
C-4 to blow doors, sniping enemies in guard towers, or taking control of vehicles – all with one click of a button!
- Online Multiplayer Modes
wide variety of traditional online modes, such as Death-Match, Team-Death-Match
and Capture-the-Flag as well as all-new, unique modes created specifically for
BlackSite™: Area 51®.
- Drive, Shoot and Ride
Drive the latest military HMMWVs and commandeer civilian vehicles. Take a seat in the gunner’s position during a daring, low-level helicopter raid against enemy positions.
Fight with a range of modern-day Special Forces weapons.
