Black Hawk Down again
[PS2] Military shooter sequel unveiled as Team Sabre
Friday 29 September 2006
Delta Force Black Hawk Down: Team Sabre, a sequel to last year's Black Hawk Down military shooter, has been announced for a PS2 release this November.
With the original game letting you play through the infamous US Army incident in Somalia in 1993 - when rebels shot down a Black Hawk helicopter and trapped a large group of US troops - this sequel is actually more like an expansion.
In fact Team Sabre was an expansion on PC. But it does come with 24 new maps for the game's 32-player online mode, which was one of the best features in Black Hawk Down on PS2. This time, though, the action is set around the globe, from Columbia to Iran, and features a new SAS character to command.
