Shooter Based Special Forces: Team X Coming This Fall

Special Forces: Team X is set to release this Fall for PC and consoles. The 3rd person shooter which will throw players into firefights between elite squads of Special Forces Ops.

Microprose announced its new title "Special Forces: Team X" today, a team based shooter that innovates the genre with a new “Dynamic Battlefield” system that allows players to dynamically define the combat environment before each battle. Developed by Zombie Studios, and distributed by Atari, Special Forces: Team X will be available this Fall for PC and console download.

Special Forces: Team X (“STX”) is a team focused, 3rd person, cover-based shooter, featuring brutal firefights between elite squads of Special Forces operatives. STX takes place in tomorrow's world, one that is infested with conflicts amongst the geo-political power brokers. A world in which conventional warfare is dead, diplomacy is an affront to the hidden agenda of national objectives, and global strategy is accomplished using clandestine military power.

World-renowned independent developer Zombie Studios puts you in the role of an elite soldier in a Special Forces squad. The game features a “Dynamic Battlefield” system, enabling players to shape the battlefield by selecting individual environmental pieces, resulting in over 100 combinations of combat zone.

These incredibly diverse combatscapes highlight a range of other unique features:

• Advanced cover system allows players to vault, mantle and traverse through the environment with the game’s intuitive cover and clambering system.
• Exclusively licensed weapons including Kalashnikov, Colt, Famas, Sig Sauer and Mossberg, thanks to our partnership with Cybergun SA. Each weapon offers a large variety of upgrades and all are fully customizable.
• Asymmetrical game play with 2-4 teams and 5 frenetic game types. Cooperative play between team members is richly rewarded, giving small coordinated teams an advantage in the battle.
• Guard dogs that players can choose to into the firefight with them. Use the dogs of war to guard your back or eliminate the enemy.
