EA has confirmed that Black is primary a FPS and will therefore focus only on the shooting elements first and foremost. There will be no squad-commands, nor any of that complicated stealth action found in other FPS titles. Similar to Monolith’s excellent F.E.A.R, Criterion is creating a surreal world where everything fired will have a direct impact onto the surrounding environment. Shoot a bullet into a building and chunks of debris will come flying off.
The intense, frantic action of Black will allow gamers to play as Sergeant First-Class Jack Kellar, a U.S military veteran and Black Ops team member. You’re sent off to Eastern Europe with the task of retrieving a traitor in the middle of a deadly war zone.
All of the action mentioned can be found in the following trailer below and several new screenshots showcasing the insane FPS title. Black is currently scheduled for an early 2006 release on the PS2 and the Xbox.
