Welcome to POLICE WARFARE; a multiplayer first person shooter set in the world of armed robbery and law enforcement. Players will go toe-to-toe as either a member of the Los Angeles Police SWAT team, or the opposite side of the law, robbing banks as an armed gunman.
We've assembled a team of experienced developers that will bring the world of Police Warfare to life and we're still growing! Members of the team have worked on games such as Far Cry 3, Gears Of War, Crysis 1/2, Assassin's Creed 2, Medal Of Honor: Airborne, Golden Eye, Killzone 2, and Grand Theft Auto 4. We've worked at companies such as Ubisoft, Epic Games, Electronic Arts and Crytek. We also brought on real law enforcement advisors to provide tactical expertise, resources and knowledge.
The following is a message from the developers
"Imagine a game that draws inspiration from the large scale, multiplayer experience of a title such as Battlefield 3, and combines it with the cops and robbers style of Grant Theft Auto and HEAT. Welcome to POLICE WARFARE; a multiplayer first person shooter set in the world of armed robbery and law enforcement. Players will go toe-to-toe as either a member of the Los Angeles Police SWAT team, or the opposite side of the law, robbing banks as an armed gunman.
There are a lot of shooters out there focusing on modern military conflicts and we want to bring things in a new direction, something fresh and different, draw the focus of a conflict closer to home with a different type of enemy. We're building a game similar to Battlefield 1943 in that it's a small but extremely high quality shooter built for digital download (Released via STEAM and also DRM-free at the Police Warfare website). What about XBOX and PS3 you ask? A console release is a VERY important goal for us. We aren't just talking about a quick port either, but instead a finely tuned and tweaked experience built especially for the console.
If you want to help bring the game to Xbox 360 and PS3 we are asking your help by supporting and pledging this PC release because by helping make the game for PC you are in fact helping open the doors for future development and expansion onto your system of choice. If we exceed the funding goals and are able to expand onto 360 and PS3 we'll offer the console version for free to EVERYONE who pledged their support for the PC version. We REALLY want to bring this game console and we need YOUR help to make it happen.
One of the areas we're innovating on is mobility. Since a large portion of the game takes place in urban environments players need the tools to descend from buildings and helicopters, hence the need for a rappelling system. Quickly and intuitively rappel from rooftop to ground zero, all while retaining full shooting controls on the way down.
The same goes for helicopters. Quickly infiltrate behind enemy lines or escape a helicopter thats going down. On the opposite side, snipe enemies out of mid-air as they rappel down. So satisfying!
Another key focus is fun weapons. Did someone say tasers guns? Yep. Tear Gas? You betcha. Protestors? Err..No. But what we lack in tents and signs we make up for with taser mines, heavily armed bomb squad robots, rigging vehicles with car bombs and an arsenal of sticky bombs and claymores.
The taser mine is great for protecting your back as a sniper. The taser gun on the other hand acts more like a side arm/melee weapon. Humiliate your enemy by holding down the fire button to continously electrocute him. Keep him in the tase long enough and he will die a slow and painful death!
Special Delivery, one of the game's achievements, challenges players to pack a truck with explosives and use the innovative CruiseControl feature to remotely steer the vehicle into a pack of bad guys. We want to give you the creative freedom to employ weapons in fun and memorable ways, the ones that are the epic moments you talk about with friends and share on youtube.
Our focus is crafting a big experience in a small package, a bite-sized AAA if you will. Something that you can pick up and play for just a few minutes and have the same great experience as if you're sinking hundreds of hours into it. Players will experience the gorgeous visuals, punchy sound design, and fluid controls they expect in a AAA FPS. All this while a clash of titans takes place in sunny Los Angeles between America's oldest and most distinguished SWAT division, and a group of former private military contractors armed to the teeth in the latest weapons, vehicles and gadgets. This isn't just a bank heist...this is war."
