This expansion pack that was on the drawing board for almost 2 years
has been released for free (maybe to make up for the cancellation of
the PC version of Ghost Recon :p ). It includes a new 7-mission campaign,
3 "classic" R6 missions, 6 new real-world weapons, and 5 new multiplayer
modes. 1) In Virus Uploaded mode, one team has a virus disk and has
to either pass off the disk to a teammate, or upload the virus onto
a computer. If they hold onto the disk for too long, they become visible
through the walls until they die, or pass on the disk. 2) Intruder is
a super fun gametype... One team has to defend the terminals, while
the other team has to destroy them. It takes about 25 seconds to destroy
a terminal, unless you are the intruder. The intruder can do it in about
3, AND the intruder has the same skin on as the defender, except he
has a black helmut. So the intruder becomes very valuable to the attacking
team, and the defending team really must kill him soon. The attacking
team must destroy all 3 terminals to win. 3) Free Backup is another
really cool gametype, where you get to take up to 3 AIs as your bodyguards.
They will just be sitting there on the ground, and you can activate
them. They will then shoot at any enemies you can see. Really fun. 4)
In Limited Seats, you have to escort prisoners to a safe zone. If a
single prisoner dies, you lose the round, so protect them well. 5) Gas
Alert is by far the coolest new gametype. Each player has a limited
supply of air (about 30 seconds). Before they run out, they need to
get to a terminal and "refill" their lungs. If you are gimped, you are
totally screwed... Gone are the net code problems that one would typically
associate with Athena Sword. In October 2008, the CD-key activation server
was taken offline, suspending the multiplayer features of Iron Wrath. |
