"The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed game, Act of War: Direct Action picks up where the techno-thriller left off. On the eve of the U.S. Presidential elections, simultaneous terrorist attacks hit both candidates. Clues point to corrupt elements within the U.S. military, but also to the shadowy organization known as the Consortium. You take the role of U.S. Army Brigadier­General Jason Richter - a career soldier and former commander of the 1 sl Special Forces (Delta Force) who has been given control of an elite new anti terrorist unit: Task Force TALON. From massive enemy assaults to delicate hostage extractions, from classified spy missions to search-and-destroy onslaughts, Task Force TALON is deployed to engage the enemy in hotspots around the globe. Using near-future weaponry, Richter's men will be pushed to their mental and physical limits to contain a powerful unpredictable enemy bent on toppling the governments of the world. "

  • New campaign featuring the characters from the original game plus a new cast of characters who interact to create another classic techno-thriller.
  • New naval combat provides a fully-fledged modern naval RTS within the game itself.
  • Nine "units for hire" that range from close assault troops with Benelli shotguns to Roland SAM systems, SU-25 Froogfoot CAS aircraft, and even F-117 stealth bombers that can be called into any part of the map.
  • Each faction receives new units and upgrades such as Stinger infantry and Kiowa recon helicopters for the U.S. Army, Tu-126 Bombers and Hind AT-6 missiles for the Consortium, and GUOS mine upgrades.
  • A dramatic increase in multiplayer options including: map wealth, resource sharing, super-weapons on/off, resource harvesting speed settings, and unit lethality toggling as well as new game modes such as "Marine One Down" and "SCUD Launcher"
