World War II. June 6, 1944 - D-Day - The downfall of Nazi Germany's occupation of Europe begins with the Allied invasion of France. The campaign is supported by more than 17,000 U.S. and British paratroopers, dropped behind enemy lines prior to the assault on the beaches of Normandy. Their battles lead them through rolling hills, open plains, small farms and war-torn cities throughout France, Holland and Belgium. The third-person action game features more than 40 missions, including D-Day, Operation Market Garden, and the bitter winter defense of Bastogne, two-player co-operative gameplay, and an upgrades and promotions system. Built with the award-winning Snowblind Studios engine.
No one ever said life in the paratroopers would be easy. You have to jump behind enemy lines with limited equipment and usually have quite a mission to do. But it was the exploits of these elite warriors that often made the difference on the field of battle. The actions of Allied paratroopers will be brought to life almost in time for the 60th anniversary of the D-Day when Combat Elite: World War II Paratroopers ships this June. Read More »
World War II has been fought over and over again, but now Acclaim has hopes you'll enlist one more time with its upcoming Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers for Xbox and PlayStation 2. We got the chance to check out this promising new title at Acclaim's recent New York City editors' day, New developer, Reno-based Battleborne Entertainment -- that is made up of some industry veterans -- is currently hard at work on the ambitious-looking Combat Elite. If the plan holds together, this game may just arrive in time for the 60th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in June. At first glance it might be easy to brand this WWII title as a mere adaptation or mod for Fallout 2 or Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. In fairness, the influence is there because the team is made up of members who worked on those games as well as Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. All this experience, along with the Snowblind Studios game engine, is being utilized to bring Combat Elite together, but one thing is for certain ... this is a very different game indeed. Read More »
