Our dear beloved Achim Heidelauf from CDV sends over two brand new exclusive (and rocking) screenshots of Codename: Panzers, their upcoming 3D tactical combat title in the works at Stormregion. He also gives great news to everyone that eagerly awaits the release of this title: an official trailer is 90% done and is supposed to be released within the next couple of days. It will be 4,5 minutes long and will show British troops kicking Nazis' ass! Read our interview with Stormregion for more details about the game. Codename: Panzers will be released in Germany at the end of the year, and early next year in other countries.
Story: Damn! Initial reports from the outpost only showed armored infantry, but some serious hardware is headed our way! How could they miss two German Koenigstiger battle tanks! No time to lay blame, just aim the bazooka and get the tanks from the rear. Only a direct hit will destroy the 70-ton behemoths... Panzers takes you into the heady battles of World War II. Whether you play in towns with bullet-riddled buildings, bleak mountain landscapes or treacherous swamps - Panzers gives you real-time combat rampages in awesome 3D graphics. Create your combat force from over 100 finely detailed units, from a flame-throwing squad over a Soviet Stalin Organ rocket launcher through to a German Koenigstiger battle tank. You are the commander - demolish your enemy by using your skills in war strategy. Experience the nerve-jangling thrill of strategic gaming - in Panzers! Features: * WW2 sets the scene for enthralling tactical combat * Totally 3D: terrain, units, buildings, weather, sound, movement, effects - realistically portrayed in the smallest detail * Every unit is designed with a realistic field of view and sound, experience and external conditions influence the range * More than fifty individually controllable and historically accurate vehicles: tanks, cannons, lorries, jeeps and motorcycles * A huge arsenal for the infantry: flame-throwers, bazookas, various shells, and mines, to name a few * Soldiers creep, crawl, run, and dive for cover * Infantry makes use of equipment including bandages, field telephones, binoculars and even rubber dinghies * Using an ingenious bonus system, your troops gain prestige points that you can use to buy more units or make upgrades and repairs * Finely-detailed war-damaged equipment and constructions: from realistic function failure to total annihilation * Dramatic campaigns with German, Russian and Allied troops * 4 engaging multiplayer functions with several specially developed battlefields * Training camp for all strategies and units with special abilities * Support from bombers, hunters, scouts and ship's artillery
