Special Forces: Team X getting price drop after going on sale on Steam
Special Forces: Team X, the third-person shooter from Blacklight: Retribution developer Zombie Studios, is taking its price down to $5 on Steam from May 6 at 10 a.m. PT, through May 13. After the sale, Special Forces: Team X will get a permanent price drop to $10, forever and ever, or until Zombie Studios, publishers Atari and/or Microprose decide to change that number again. Before 10 a.m. PT today, Special Forces: Team X costs $15. Special Forces: Team X is a cel-shaded, cover-based shooter with more than 100 possible map combinations and five multiplayer modes. When it first hit Steam in February, the game had a bug that could randomly reset character XP, but that issue has been resolved via a series of patches, Microprose says in a press release. A Title Update for the XBLA version is in testing now. "We are hoping that this price drop will bring players into the game that may have been scared away by the initial launch problems," the press release reads.
Special Forces: Team X is next game from Blacklight dev
Blacklight: Retribution developer Zombie Studios is bringing players back to war this fall with Special Forces: Team X. Currently only confirmed for PC, the downloadable game features a cel-shaded art style akin to Ubisoft's XIII, along with a "dynamic tile map system," allowing for battlefields to be generated in "over 100" combinations based on player votes.Though the reveal trailer for the game hides some of the more gruesome action with censor bars, the game itself won't shield fragile stomachs from such unrelenting action.As well as standard gametypes like team deathmatch, capture point, and capture the flag, Special Forces: Team X will include high value target and hot zone modes. Other hot-button requests for any new shooter seem to be included as well, including dedicated servers, detailed player customization, and authentic weaponry. Also, blood. Zombie tells Joystiq that PAX attendees will get a chance to see Special Forces: Team X at next week's event, though it won't be playable.%Gallery-162946%
