GameSpot has posted a new preview of
Commandos: Strike Force (PC/Xbox), the upcoming orld War II squad-based FPS by Pyro
Studios. Strike Force is due to ship in spring 2006.
Strike Force will have 14 levels, though you'll only have access to up to two characters per level, and on some levels you may have to go solo with a single character. If you find yourself controlling two, you can switch instantly between them, and the computer will take control of the character you're not controlling directly. In the mission we saw, which takes place in Norway, one of the game's three settings (the others being France and Stalingrad), the Green Beret battled ashore into a small fishing village. Pinned down by German fire, the Eidos demonstrator switched to the sniper, still sitting on the boat tied up to the docks, and used the special sniping ability to neutralize the Germans firing from windows. Meanwhile, the computer had taken control of the Green Beret, and he stayed in place, engaging any Germans that came into his proximity. There were also other allies present in the form of non-player characters, and while you can't take direct control of them, they will play an important role in the missions. For example, you may need to make sure they don't take too many losses. But they can also assist you by providing extra firepower.
