Atari has released a playable demo of Codename Panzers: Cold War, giving you the chance to try out this game developed by Stormregion and InnoGlow. Thanks: DemoNews.de. 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. Codename Panzers: Cold War will hit the store shelves in February 2009.
