Tactical Combat and an Ongoing Online Experience are the
focus of “Ground Control II”
Obviously the first thing you’ll notice is the game’s gorgeous graphics, but get this: the developers don’t want it to play like a traditional RTS. Their focus is tactical combat, not resource management. As if that wasn’t intriguing enough, they’ve also developed a unique system that will allow online players to enter a game at any time. How does this work? How is it possible? Lead designer Henrik Sebring explains.

Description
Ground Control® II is a real-time tactics game set in a gritty science-fiction universe. It delivers explosively fast game play focusing on combat tactics with full use of the 3D battlefield. Weather and other environmental effects also affect the unit’s performance on the battleground. In the war torn year of 2741, Captain Jacob Angelus of the Northern Star Alliance (NSA) becomes the central figure in the fight against the warmongering Terran Empire. In an attempt to crush the NSA permanently, the Terran Empire sends in an alien race of powerful warriors - the Virons. It soon becomes apparent that the situation is bleak for the NSA and that their only hope is to embark on an Exodus to another part of the galaxy. Jacob Angelus must find a way to let his people survive.
