Aspyr Media Inc. Announces `Battlefield 1942' for MacintoshAUSTIN, Texas --(March 25, 2004)-- Aspyr Media Inc. announced that they will take to the land, sea and air in the award-winning multi-player World War II experience by publishing "Battlefield 1942(TM)" for the Mac. "Battlefield 1942: Road To Rome" expansion pack will also be included to make this one explosive package. "Battlefield 1942" was developed by Sweden-based developer Digital Illusions (DICE). Aspyr is publishing and distributing "Battlefield 1942" for the Mac under license from Electronic Arts. The Mac conversion is being handled internally, by Aspyr.
"Battlefield 1942" puts players at the heart of World War II combat, allowing them to choose from 16 famous battle sites, including Omaha Beach, Stalingrad and Wake Island, from the four main theaters of World War II including the Pacific, Eastern and Western Europe and Northern Africa. With the ability to control more than 35 authentic Axis and Allied vehicles and select from five distinct character classes, players are faced with incredible choices in their plan of action.
The game features a unique, robust multi-player component that supports up to 64 players on certain maps. Playing as several infantry classes, gamers can use many of the hand weapons used in World War II while commanding numerous land, sea and air vehicles. In "Battlefield 1942," gamers are able to join forces and fight as a team with select vehicles, such as the bomber or battleship. For example, the B-17 bomber offers a pilot/bombardier station and two separate gunner positions. The "Road to Rome" will focus exclusively on the key, yet largely underpublicized Italian and Sicilian campaigns of WWII. "Road to Rome" includes more maps, more vehicles and more fighting forces.
The game also features incredible single player action. These levels feature unscripted, advanced AI allowing players a completely different experience each time they play.
The game and expansion pack carry an ESRB rating of "T" (Teen) and MSRP US$49.95. More information can be found on the Aspyr website. |
