Official description

On a future devastated Earth, powerful, corrupt corporations control remaining technology and rule what's left of society. Pacification Squads, a brutal private police force, maintain order for the corporate syndicate.

The only hope for freedom is a small group of Resistance fighters made up of gang leaders, mercenaries and ex-military operatives. As the Resistance leader you must assemble your army and travel the globe, restoring peace and sanity in a very dangerous world.

Highlights

* Next-generation Unreal Engine coupled with the MathEngine Karma physics system provides dramatic visuals, ultra-realistic object physics, rag-doll deaths, and user-friendly mod tools
* Hollywood-style explosions and in-your-face special effects showcase awesome particle physics including explosive headshots, flowing water and blood, amazing weapons effects and realistic fire created by the amazing "OFX" VisualFX system with full hardware T & L support
* Incredible next-generation AI that gives enemies and NPCs micro-behaviors and heightened awareness, while teammates provide intelligent cooperation and assistance
* Practically everything can be used, destroyed or manipulated–set traps with the garbage in the streets, use a broken bottle to slash your way to victory or toss a chair down the hall to distract a guard
* More than 40 unique weapons, including machine guns, swords, handguns, sniper weapons and incredible Rat Bombs that allow players to "become the weapon"
* Objective-based single player campaign, incorporating special skills like stealth, surveillance, hacking into security systems, sniping, and brute force
* 32 massive, photorealistic levels based off real-world textures, including 20 single player and 12 multiplayer maps, set in four stunning environments
* All the favorite multiplayer standards, including traditional head to head and cooperative games, including an exciting new style of multiplayer gaming
* Superior sound, from the ability to use noise to distract enemies or alert team mates, to the cutting edge soundtrack by Messy–the techno rebirth of members of Love & Rockets
