K2 Network’s War Rock Brings
Online FPS Combat to the Masses
K2 Network, Inc. has added War Rock
(http://www.k2warrock.com)
to its growing Free2Play(TM) library of games. War Rock is designed to appeal to
new recruits as well as veterans of online "first person shooter" (FPS) games.
For players new to the FPS world,
this modern tactical shooter’s action-packed gameplay has been structured with
an easy learning curve. For the expert FPS fans, variety of game-play — from
small squad level close quarters combat to medium-sized urban conflicts to huge
multi-squad and vehicle operations — provides deep gameplay.
K2 Network’s Free2Play(TM) model
allows players to have full access to the game free. Fans that crave an enhanced
experience can use in-game money earned during play or real world cash to access
increased player abilities, special weapons and other benefits.
An efficient engine allows War Rock
to supply high-quality visual details and fast frame-rates without the need for
the latest, most expensive computers.
"War Rock is another great addition
to K2 Network’s overall lineup for 2006. The combination of an easy learning
curve and deep gameplay in a free game that can run on a wide variety of systems
will make War Rock one of the most successful online FPS titles ever," said
Joshua Hong, CEO, K2 Network. "War Rock is a perfect example of our commitment
to publishing ground-breaking Free2Play(TM) online games with world-class
customer service and game mastering to gamers in all parts of the Western
Hemisphere."
The community-driven game-play
supports additional maps, weapons, vehicles and in-game 3D voice chat. The game
will eventually incorporate several modes including timed competition, survivor
(timed free-for-all), independent one-on-one death match mode and last man
standing.
"War Rock is an extremely addictive
shooter with great weapons, smooth and intuitive controls and a wide variety of
battle modes. From close quarters battles between SpecOps teams in built up
urban areas to island campaigns with fast attack boats and helicopter gunships,
War Rock has everything any adrenaline junkie will ever need," Matt Norton, War
Rock producer, K2 Network, said.
War Rock will be available for beta
testing in May 2006, with a commercial launch scheduled for summer 2006.
The addition of War Rock to K2
Network’s offering of online games broadens the company’s spectrum of genres.
MMORPG, sports/casual and FPS titles are now offered free. K2 Network recently
added a new version of the popular Global MU Online (http://www.globalmuonline.com)
game to its catalog of titles.
War Rock has been created by South
Korean developer Dream Execution Co., Ltd. Dream Execution is a game development
studio with primary focuses in game engine and online game development. Dream
Execution is the creator of the Jindo Engine, a patented game engine technology
used in War Rock. More information on Dream Execution can be found at

K2 Network will be showing War Rock
at E3 in Kentia Hall meeting room 6820 and next to the South Hall food court.
