Atari has announced that from
Codename Panzers: Cold War developed by
Stormregion and
InnoGlow, has reached Gold status and will hit the store shelves in January 2009. The story is set in the early 50's and takes advantage of an unused and very interesting setting, the Cold War. To take the gameplay beyond build-and-rush tactics the game uses a Point of Interest system, with distinctive structures on the map that teams must occupy to gain additional Prestige Points. Depending on the location and type of structures you occupy, Prestige Points can then be used to call in special attacks like napalm or helicopter support, or to produce additional units. Infantry can employ special urban warfare tactics like building and taking cover, constructing fortifications or tunneling, while the dynamic weather conditions affect unit behaviour and limit sight range creating even more tactical gameplay depth.
