Act of War: Direct Action Impressions - Act of War: Direct Action Previews for PC at GameSpot: "The game's storyline, which revolves around an oil company conglomerate that's looking to raise oil prices, will see you reacting to terrorist attacks in the first couple of missions--before you go on the offensive and start hunting down those responsible for these attacks. In the single-player campaign, you'll be playing both as the modern-day US Army and as the 'Task Force Talon,' an antiterrorist unit with access to experimental and near-futuristic weaponry. We got to see a number of different units in action during our demo, including some accurate re-creations of the US Army's Paladin and Abrams tanks and the Apache helicopter. The Task Force Talon will employ a number of remotely piloted vehicles and drones in its war on terror, although the unit that we actually got see in action, which Strandberg described as the Talon's signature unit, was a 'Shield Unit' that comprises a marine in a powerful exoskeleton. Details on the third faction in the game, the terrorists, are being kept under wraps for the time being, but we understand that you will be able to play as the terrorists only in multiplayer games. "
