- Post a comment Computer developer and publisher NovaLogic Inc. has announced the upcoming release of the highly anticipated fourth installment of the "Comanche" series, based on the U.S. Army's next-generation armed reconnaissance helicopter - the RAH-66 by Boeing-Sikorsky.
"Comanche 4," slated for release in late 2001, is the latest in the popular series that has sold more than 2 million copies around the world. As a shooter in the sky, the game will give players a taste of the thrill and excitement of going into battle as a Comanche pilot. The helicopter's versatility in reconnaissance, ground attack and air combat roles will be emphasized in the game's all-new missions. Players will get to fly with the Comanche's signature low-altitude capabilities and swoop into real-world locations including urban settings and rural environments around the world such as tropical islands, desolate deserts and lush, tree-laden jungles.
The game showcases stunning graphics, including realistic rotor wash effects both on the water and the ground. "Comanche 4" will also feature a 3D virtual cockpit and weapons of destruction including the 20mm cannon, 70mm rockets, air-to-air and heat-seeking AIM-9 Stingers and the laser-guided AGM-114 Hellfire missile. Players will also have to dodge fire from ground troops wielding hand-held Stingers. [more] |
