E3: Bodycount “Welcome To The Network” Gameplay Trailer

Codemasters released some pretty impressive “work-in-progress” gameplay footage of their newest IP, Bodycount, to show-off at this year’s E3. This pre-alpha build demonstrates their widely destructible and ever-changing environments, along with introducing their new “Psycho-Tank” AI who is a mini-gun wielding lunatic that will break down walls just to get at you. This will be the first game created by the team at Codemasters Studios Guildford who’s Creative Director, Stuart Black, is responsible for the award-winning 2006 shooter, Black. You may recognize this as an Xbox Originals title that was re-released to Xbox Live back in 2008.

Players take on the role of a young renegade who gets in over his head when dealing with a secretive organization known only as, “The Network”. He later becomes a very valuable asset to the company and begins taking on very loud and merciless assassinations in dangerous military warzones. Guided by a mysterious female operative for The Network, the player is encouraged to leave no witnesses and rack up their bodycount in order to be granted access to more devastating and heavy-duty tactical attacks.

This outrageous arcade-style action shooter is set to feature online and cooperative multiplayer modes, and looks to be one hell of a good time. The game is set for a Spring 2011 release and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on more details as we get them.
