IGI 2: Covert Strike multiplayer beta available
Codemasters announces that the multiplayer beta test version of its upcoming first-person shooter is now available for download.
Following a successful closed beta test that attracted more than 30,000 players, Codemasters has today made the multiplayer beta test version of IGI 2: Covert Strike available to the public for the first time. The public version of the multiplayer beta, which weighs in at around 117MB, features a map called Timberland, in which the IGI operatives' mission is to sabotage an old mineral plant that the Conspiracy terrorist group is using as a cover to extract uranium for covert weapons manufacturing. The beta test code allows for 16 players online and up to 32 on a LAN across the two teams, and it features full in-game chat functionality. Anyone wishing to download the multiplayer beta can do so at Codemasters' official IGI 2 Web site. A single-player demo of the game will also be made available on Thursday, January 16.
IGI 2: Covert Strike is the eagerly awaited sequel to Innerloop's Project IGI: I'm Going In , which was released back in December 2000. The game emphasizes stealth over combat for the most part, and, in addition to the team-based multiplayer gameplay modes, it features a story-driven single-player campaign in which players will conduct covert missions at locations all over the world, including Russia, Libya, and China.
