Eidos has announced the return of Commandos in the World War II first person shooter Commandos Strike Force. Developed by Pyro Studios, Commandos Strike Force will be released worldwide in spring 2005 on PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.

In a new direction for the multi-million selling series, Commandos Strike Force takes you right into the heart of the action from a first person perspective. Take control of the three members of the Strike Force unit, each with their own play style. Switch between the Green Beret, always at the heart of the action with his expertise in combat and the use of heavy weaponry, the Sniper with his nerves of steel and expert marksmanship, and the Spy, stealthily striking at the heart of the enemy. However, it is up to you how you execute plans of attack by combining the Commandos' unique skills.

Set in war torn Europe amid the backdrop of World War II, you must take your elite group of Commandos behind enemy lines on a series of linked missions through France, Russia and Norway. Destroying a Nazi ship, ambushing enemy troops, freeing French Resistance prisoners and kidnapping a general are a few of the large range of missions. As well as a compelling single player campaign, the game features a variety of original online multiplayer modes. In the most fearsome war ever fought emerged the most fearless soldiers.

Ignacio Perez, ceo of Pyro Studios said: By combining the tactical approach of the previous Commandos games with the intense action of a fps, Commandos Strike Force will provide a more cerebral approach to the war game genre. Strike Force is our most ambitious project ever and we believe that this game will set a new benchmark for World War II videogames.

Commandos series were too hard for me but then I don't like old style games. This looks good.

What is old about it's style? Computer gaming alone is still in it's infancy.

Commandos Series Goes FPS

Too hard?? Why do people say teh commando series is too hard? its not hard at all. All you have to really do is shoot the ground then get all the dumb germans to run there then toss a gernade while the bunch around trying to look for you. If you repeat that 5 times all the enemies will be gone and you can run around to your asses content.

I only played the demo when it 1st came out. I thought it was way too hard and therefore lost what little interest I had in the game. I say old style because of the gfx, and it resembles to me games of old like laser squad and syndicate.

I heard that they were hard too. I wouldn't mind getting them to see for myself, but I realy want to get this, it looks very good. :D

Commandos Series Goes FPS

we have enough WW2 FPS games and not enough WW2 game that are styled like the Commando's series. Commandos should stay the way it is.The Commandos series rocks and no, it isn't hard cause like the other guy said, shoot the ground, run around the corner and hide and then toss a nade over the wall. Also, were always on the allies side in these WW2 games. I would like to play it and see it from the German side. Not to mention I want to take the Tiger Tank and smash threw buildings and basically cause trouble.

And I thought the gaming industry couldn't go even farther down the f**king hole.

this game is going to suck balls. "change the benchmark of WWII video games" -my ass.

Commandos Series Goes FPS

Yeah, Eidos/Pyro is gonna change nothing...But all we can do is wait and see what sort of FPS it is gonna be. Maybe its kinda Splinter Cell with lots of sneaking and hiding, would fit perfectly into Commandos.But at the moment, a great line of strategy games is gonna get messed up.Bottom line is -don't abuse the name of Commandos for another silly world war II shooter.

Commandos Series Goes FPS

cant be any worse then 1 and 2,they sucked balls so bad,did i mention i hated them,boring.

Anonymousat 6:32 15/10/2004You got to what I was going to say before me. I can't believe there doing this to commandos. I played 1 and its expansion a bit really got into 2 thought 3 was fairly similar to 2 but played it a bit. I loved in two the co-op multiplayer mode. I was very dissopionted in the multiplayer of the third commandos.We don't need another FPS set in WW2 Commandos is a good series. I wish game companies wouldn't rune game series. You just can't get the same tacktle approach from the ground.I will have to have a look at it when it comes out but I wish they stuck with the original format.Also these games are not that hard but there not really about reaction times there about thinking your way around the situation within a set of rules. Its just problem solving.

Commandos Series Goes FPS

The screen shots suck!! another ass of a game remake!

Commandos Series Goes FPS

I wish game developers could get things right. It mentions controlling the "Green Beret", as if it's implying there's just one. Well, all Commando trained personell wear the Green Beret.

Commandos Series Goes FPS

Ok this sucks.. why do the want to ruin a great game as commandos? the should have kept the gamestyle..that is i think the thing that made commandos so good... the gameplay the want in commandos is imposible to mnake in a first person shooter.. this will just become a SWAT or a rainbowsix style game in ww2..

Commandos Series Goes FPS

Very original...*sigh*

Commandos Series Goes FPS

I think companies need to take a break from WW2 games seeing as we have had tons of them in the past year or so and move on to a different era say futuristic?, and then come back to the WW2 era sometime later in the future....

Commandos Series Goes FPS

it uses painted scencs prolly kinda like RE

Commandos Series Goes FPS

I got all four earlier versions, this is something I aint gonna let just pass by. I've seen before that if you combine pyro studios and the world war II and a big potion of deathly violence then the results stand highly compared to other games. Why shouldnt this be good when we all know they have done well before. :D
