Power Struggle's maps - there are between six and eight planned - will feature zones like ports and factories. Capture these by clearing any enemies from the area and your team can construct the relevant batch of vehicles, including patrol boats, hovercraft, submarines, tanks, jeeps and jets. Each vehicle costs credits but if you're cunning you can rob the opposing team and steal their precious machines.
As you battle through you'll achieve a rank and the higher rank you are the more equipment you can splash your credits on. But, to stop newbies being mowed down indiscriminately, high ranking players will only receive decent bonuses by picking on threats that match up to their own skills and weapons.
Crytek certainly isn't short of ambition and, with Crysis now boasting both a superb-looking single-player campaign and Power Struggle's exciting multiplayer action, it's surely set to be one of next year's most impressive games. Crysis won't be launching for at least another six months - if we're lucky - but we'll be scouring the world for new info and counting down every last hour. Stay close.
