There is one level available in this demo, in which you play as a part of an infantry squad. Your squad's mission is to neutralise the hostile forces in a small area of one of the islands in the game.

In the full game you can look forward to a full campaign, featuring over 30 missions. You will be able to play as an infantry soldier, a tank commander, a pilot and a special forces operative.

Eventually, you'll also be able to command other troops in combat to test your tactical skills as well as your combat awareness.

Windows 95/2000 NOT supported.

     In the UK and several places in the US, copies of Microsoft Flight simulator where taken of the shelves. The theory being that the terrorists could have used the program to train for their mission. Also, the new version of the game has been delayed slightly as the World Trade Centers were being removed. Many other games were pulled such as Spider Man. Also, many movies were pulled.
     In other MS news, the case between MS and the US Justice Department has been delayed a week. This will further hinder any attempt to stop the shipping of Windows XP.
     The president of Akamai was killed in one of the planes that hit the WTC. Akamai is involved with distribution of images and files all over the web. They are the Connexion of images and more.
     Yet, I do not think these will be the real effects on the industry. I believe that consumer confidence is going to drop to the bottom. The market for computer games, new processors, and better operating systems will not exist. This will create a massive slowdown as to the future of computer development. This will mean all our news days in a few months will look like the last week’s stories.
     As citizens of the world, we must continue to purchase as we have previously. This is the only way that we will salvage the tech industry and many others. Current war does not have a massive effect on the productivity of companies as it did in the past. I do not expect war to have a positive or negative effect on the economy.
