Starting
August 24th, players will be able to download a
Software Package (around 50MB) that allows them
to play Wing Commander: Secret Ops, and includes
the first few missions of the game. Origin will
then release more missions every week (a couple
megs each) for about seven weeks, in the end
totalling 56 exciting missions. Each mission will
continue along the storyline.
Beginning this week, www.secretops.com
will open up, revealing movies, stories, and
other information that has to do with the Secret
Ops add-on. One unique thing that Origin will be
doing is gradually telling everyone another part
of the storyline, one week at a time. This will
further increase the suspense until the final
release day.
Generally, the story in Secret
Ops is that from Wing Commander: Prophecy, but
you will be playing a different character, and
may even find some interesting other characters
throughout the game. Also, the game's difficulty
will be similar to Wing Commander; Prophecy, in
the sense that missions get harder/easier
depending on what's happening around you.
Wing Commander: Secret Ops
includes new ships and numerous other
enhancements to make the game better. Origin also
thinks that by releasing the missions one week at
a time, it will build up so much suspense that
players will be literally drooling for Origin to
release the next package of missions.
Wing Commander: Secret Ops information
will be available at www.secretops.com.
(For now, there is only a Macromedia Shockwave
animation that builds a little suspense for whats
to come.)
