Since mid February the development team has been hard at work on this new and unique battlefield experience that is "Offworld".
Intro:
The battlefields of earth have been placed aside and a new conflict has ignited on the plant Mars. The mars based government has retreated back to earth leaving the mars colonies in ruin, and the planet only partially terraformed. Three main forces are at play in this power struggle for dominance:
- The Colonial Marine Force
- The Toshida Mining Corporation
- The Masons
The Fight:
Battles are fought in highly agile and deadly VTOL gunships (Vertical Take Off and Landing). These crafts are known as "flitters". Each faction will have different 3-4 classes of flitters when the project is completed. For this first playable demo only one class will be available for the two factions; the "light class". The future will bring testament to the old saying "there is always a bigger fish..."
Features:
- Two factions
- Two maps
- Two different gunships
- Authentic martian terrain, and huge battlefields
- Air oriented combat in a crossbreed of a helicopter gunship and a fast attack jet aircraft.
- Fast, fun and adrenaline inducing battles and dog fights
Playable Demo:
The overall objective of this modification project of the Battlefield 2 engine is to bring to the masses what was limited in other mods and official released versions; vehicles for all. No one will ever have to sprint to an aircraft in vain here.
Offworld will be a relative "simple" product when it is scheduled to be done (sometime Q3 or Q4 2008). Intense focus will be put on the aerial battles and the 'perfection' of the feel and gameplay of the aerial fights.
We feel that it is important to note that this first public release is a playable demo of what to come.
