Atari on Thursday announced it would bring Terminator 3: War of the Machines to the PC this fall. Hungary-based Clever Games is developing the single- and multiplayer first-person shooter - which allows players to face off online as either SkyNet Terminators or Tech Com Special Forces. The battles take place across a variety of landscapes seen in the upcoming Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines theatrical release - including downtown Los Angeles and SkyNet bases.
Multiplayer participants compete as either a member of Tech Com or a SkyNet Terminator model. Eight character classes are available for SkyNet and Tech Com forces - and up to 32 players can wage war on each server. Humans have the advantage of stealth - while SkyNet brings overwhelming force and durability. Each class offers unique advantages and disadvantages in battle. For example: SkyNet T-900 Endoskeletons can utilize their unique vision to quickly and easily identify camouflaged opponents - but are unable to repair themselves in combat like their human counterparts.
Solo players take the role of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator - with full likeness and voice acting - to wage war alongside SkyNet's mechanical forces against human Tech Com revolutionaries. The player is eventually captured and reprogrammed by Tech Com to fight for the humans.
Weapons run the gamut from modern-day and near-future weaponry such as the M4A1 and Desert Eagle to the futuristic weapons used by SkyNet - including phased plasma rifles and cannons.
A number of armored and weapon-equipped Tech Com and SkyNet vehicles are at the player's disposal both in the single- and multiplayer modes. Human vehicles include modified trucks and personnel transports with mounted plasma rifles and rockets. SkyNet vehicles include a variety of land- and air-based machines. These vehicles act as the classes for the Terminator team - meaning the gamer plays as an FK hover attack craft or HK tank rather than manning them from the inside.
Players are able to call in air strikes by targeting an object and issuing commands to off-screen allies.
Sounds sweet.
