An incredible assortment of authentic weapons, equipment and Gulf War-era vehicles have been implemented to add an amazing level of realism and detail. Each highly intricate campaign will require players to coordinate the unique skills and weapons of each team member, to strategically combat a variety of scenarios and enemy forces.  Additional advances include a new weapon-specific targeting system, dynamic lighting, environmental effects, and deformable terrain among other features.
