There are two major improvements that AoW has over C&C:G. Live out a gripping storyline from best-selling techno-thriller author Dale BrownĪct of War: Direct Action comes out 2 years after C&C: Generals, so I'll make my comparisons to that excellent benchmark game.Capture enemy soldiers, rescue hostages, and occupy or destroy buildings.Face the realities of real urban combat as you defend the streets of London, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.Skirmish with up to eight players in a variety of intense multiplayer operations.Experience unique gameplay through a seamless convergence of movie-quality cinematics and live action.Command highly realistic modern military units.The Heroes A new "direct action" operation known as Task Force TALON to counter massive military assaults, rescue hostages, conduct classified spy missions, take prisoners, and stop an unpredictable enemy bent on toppling the worlds governments. The Enemy A shadowy Consortium of back-room conspirators determined to throw the world into utter chaos using widespread terror tactics. This real-time strategy experience puts you squarely in control of counter-terrorist forces and delivers a first look at tomorrow's war. Ripped from todays headlines, Act of War: Direct Action is a frightening tale of suspense, international intrigue, and geopolitical military conflict.
