Söldner: Secret Wars
Encyclopedia
Söldner: Secret Wars - often referred as Soldner, Soeldner, SSW or SMC - is a computer game, developed by Wings Simulations and published in May 2004 by JoWood Productions. The game can be played in first-
or third-person
. Players can control ground vehicles, planes, VTOL
s and helicopters.
The game is made to be played online, with the single-player campaign used for training.
The game and the expansion set Marine Corps were re-released together in North America by Evolved Games (Take2 Interactive) in May 2006, renamed to Semper Fidelis: Marine Corps to avoid previous bad press about Söldner. Marketing text from the original Söldner release was re-cycled with no effort from JoWooD to promote the new release on its own merits.
All modes can be played on all maps. They can also be customized, for example you can capture a person or building or particular item instead of a flag.
All Marine Corps features are usable without the add-on, but new stuff (weapons, vehicles, vessels) is not accessible, but if a player drops weapon or leaves vehicle it can be used by all players.
