The conflict in Indonesia has spilled over to other parts of Asia where rebel troops have gained support in the war against Joint Ops Forces. Set against the lush backdrop of South East Asia, enlist once more to take part in intense large scale modern FPS combat, in games of up to 150 players online. Use new weapons, vehicles, team tactics and strategic gameplay to dominate the battlefield.

New Vehicles   Pilot fast attack helicopters and mow down the enemy below, or jump on board a Chinook and parachute into enemy territory, diving for cover on impact to prevent detection. Use dirt bikes to negotiate rough terrain with speed and steer combat tanks into the enemy camp, using brute force to take out main defenses. New Weapons   Select your ammo and choose your load out wisely from a total of 44 weapons! Arm yourself with the G-36 assault rifle or carry the semi automatic MK23 as back up and more! Enhanced attack & defend measures   Look sharp to stay alive! Added body armor improves your chances of survival, but unless you and your team are ready and alert, the improved sniper counter measures won’t help you avoid his deadly bullet! The enhanced player damage model means that you may just have enough time to dive for cover to survive another gun fight!  25 New Multiplayer Levels   Fight for control & ultimate domination of new maps ranging from an abandoned strip mine and civilian airport, to a chemical weapons factory and rocket launching facility. Expect new co-op missions too!  *Some features are only available through NovaWorld. **Features are subject to change. ***Internet service required.
