IGI 2: Covert Strike Demo

For IGI 2: Covert Strike the acclaimed superb stealth-based first-person shooter action returns, and continues the modern warfare and espionage theme of the original. The covert missions continue the career of David Jones, a former SAS soldier, now working freelance for the secret organisation, codenamed 'IGI'. IGI 2 takes place soon after the events in the previous title, bringing back key characters in a brand new story and new locations across the globe. The spiralling plot will take Jones through Russia, across Libya and into China in three linked campaigns, as he infiltrates a wide variety of locations including military airbases, harbours and secret government installations.

Each mission expands the plot and is sequenced with impressive animated scenes that continue to absorb the player in the game's carefully constructed narrative. It won't be an easy ride: completely new Artificial Intelligence systems will give Jones' many enemies the ability to work together as effective teams, using realistic combat tactics and electronic security systems to locate him, hunt him down and neutralise him. But at least he'll have the resources available to deal with them - whether hacking a security computer, sniping a guard from a distant tower, or storming a courtyard with all guns blazing. IGI 2 will feature an outstanding array of realistically-modelled weaponry in both single and multi-player modes, from sidearms and machine pistols to assault rifles and missile launchers.

Two single-player and one multiplayer demo are available for download. The multiplayer demo (120MB) features one map, entitled Timberland, which is as large as any Tribes 2 map out there. Within the map you have 30 odd weapons to dispose your enemies with in the aim of completing your team specific objectives. The first single-player demo (138MB) contains one level from the full game. The second single-player demo (125MB) is set in a 1950s Soviet weather station, high in the Carpathian Mountains, sporting a reconnaissance mission to track down a nano-technology chip held by the local mafia.
