-- CDV Software Entertainment today released a multiplayer
demo for its highly anticipated WWII RTS - Blitzkrieg 2.
The (220 MB) demo, available at www.blitzkrieg.de, contains
one multiplayer map, "Autumn Rain," which is playable via LAN
or Internet by up to four players.
Developed
by Nival Interactive, Blitzkrieg 2 takes everything gamers
loved about the original game and kicks it up to a whole new level.
Players take on the role of German, American and Russian WWII
battlefield commanders modeled after their real-world counterparts as
they
command
more than 250 types of historically accurate troops, including 60
varieties of ground infantry. A new, fully 3D graphics engine displays
battlefield action in all its visual glory as Russian Katyusha rocket
launchers light up the night sky with fiery rocket volleys, Stuka
bombers drop their deadly payloads on ground units and artillery
annihilates opposing structures.
Historic
conflicts are fought through more than 75 missions, including 10
multiplayer maps, while a powerful mission editor allows
gamers to create custom missions and maps. Whether fighting in
the

jungles
of the Pacific, the endless Steppe of the Eastern Front, the unforgiving
deserts of
Northern Africa
, or the treacherous forests of the frozen
Ardennes
, players will enjoy the ultimate World War II RTS experience in Blitzkrieg 2.
