Gore- The Ultimate Soldier will be an online multi-player game with an Offline ladder system placing the player against Gores advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) system so you can play by yourself if you do not have an Internet connection, or want to practice offline. We have implemented many new things which we feel will have a profound impact on death match plus other new and popular gaming styles. Almost anything you see in Gore can be destroyed. Weapons, health and stamina packs, ammo boxes and more can all be blown up. A popular tactic is shooting a health kit right before a wounded character picks it up, watching the kit explode which gibs the unsuspecting character. Fire extinguishers, gas tanks, and other objects can be destroyed as well, causing lots of fun. You can even climb trees, gutters, vines and more. Playing Gore feels like a war zone because of all the explosions, burning fire, smoke, gas, panting and coughing going on. [Download: DemoNews]
