Blacksite: Area 51

Blacksite: Area 51 Description

We all thought that Area 51, the heart of conspiracy theory, was full of those mildly cute little grey aliens with the big heads. It turns out we were wrong. It's also full to the brim of great big ugly aliens of the distinctly scary kind. Unfortunately, when things go wrong down at Area 51 and scores of the nasties escape into the surrounding area, someone has to deal with it. That would be you. As the leader of an elite Special Forces squad, players will head into the desert to face unearthly threats with nothing but their guts, savvy, and some big ol' guns. And some team mates. In fact, as well as engaging in first-person shooting action, players will actively lead their squad. Do it right, and your squad will serve you well. Get it wrong, and morale will sink and you'll find yourself fighting an uphill battle. Not to worry, however, you'll be able to command your squad to perform tasks such as planting C-4 and sniping at enemy guard towers with a unique one button command system. It comes with the classic range of online modes, including DeathMatch, Team DeathMatch and Capture the Flag. Midway has also thrown in some unique modes for good measure including Human vs. Reborn and Siege mode.

Your elite Special Forces squad, assembled from the finest soldiers in todays military, responds to your orders and your leadership in the most realistic in-game visuals imaginable. Lead your squad well and they'll rally behind you when the enemy brings the fight, but waver in the face of the enemy and their morale will sink accordingly, affecting their aim, their fatigue and the will to fight.

Players will have a wide variety of traditional online modes, such as Death- Match, Team-Death-Match and Capture-the-Flag. All-new, unique modes will also be available in the form of Human vs. Reborn mode and the new Siege mode, where teams try to capture each other's squad members on the way to controlling territory.

Drive the latest military HMMWVs, ATVs and commandeer civilian vehicles, or take a seat in the gunner's position in daring, low-level helicopter raids against enemy positions.

As Squad Leader, you have the power, the authority and the duty to command your troops to perform a variety of complex actions, including planting C-4, sniping an enemy in the guard tower, or taking control of various vehicles. Players will also have the ability to control all squad commands with the press of a single button, without the hassle of clunky menus and/or multiple button taps.

In the ultimate mission-based, player-driven FPS game, take your Squad down any one of multiple paths to solve problems and defeat enemies. Strategically use cover points and blow away others in huge levels where nearly everything you see is destructible.
