Atari has released a variety
of new material on its impressive looking forthcoming FPS, Boiling Point: Road to
Hell.
An extensive weapons and tools movie forms part of that information package and
showcases the use of most weapons including rocket launchers sniper rifles and explosives.
The movie highlights the purchase mode which you use to outfit your character and may well
be a hint to an RPG element of the game. The video also includes impressive footage of the
player taking out an enemy helicopter while the necessary battles with loud and foul-mouthed
enemies is also present. The movie also showcases some of the stealth-play elements with
attacks on enemies from behind as well as gadgets such as a Directional microphone.
The game features a colourful, and frequently deadly, variety of 22 weapons and
handheld devices, which all need to be employed in different ways in the game depending on
their individual strengths and weaknesses and the situation at hand. Its possible to carry
as many weapons as the physical strength of your character will allow, and other weapons can
be stored at locations within the game world, for example in vehicles that the player
controls.
The player needs to gain experience with each new weapon type acquired
before they can use it to its full potential. Once a player has spent time with a particular
weapon type, they will find that their accuracy and the overall effectiveness of the weapon
in combat will improve dramatically. In addition they will be able to upgrade weapons for
example magazine size, range, recharge time, etc and use different types of ammunition
e.g. explosive, silent etc.
