Carrier Command E3 demo video disembarks

Bohemia Interactive's Carrier Command: Gaea Mission is a mite complicated, blending RTS with first-person action in various vehicles. To see how it all works, check out the new 11-minute E3 demo video.

Should you somehow be daunted by the idea of fighting for control of a 33-island archipelago from a huge roaming ship which deploys customisable vehicles to land, sea and air, which you can issue orders to or directly control yourself, you may want to watch the 11-minute E3 demo of Carrier Command: Gaea Mission. Because that's just what Bohemia Interactive is working on, remaking the Atari classic.

The demo explains customising and deploying units, producing supplies, managing captured islands, and, of course, blowing up the enemy. As well as a sandbox 'Strategic' mode, which has procedurally generated elements, Carrier Command packs a story-driven campaign where you also get to set foot on terra firma and do first-person face-shooting as a soldier yourself.

Here's our Ozzie's take on Carrier Command, which he saw on E3.

Carrier Command: Gaea Missions sets sail for PC and Xbox 360 in September. If you fancy playing sooner, though, you can pre-order to score beta access.

      This looks excellent. I don't know why noone seems to care about this one.

      Is this using the ARMA engine?

        It's isn't, strangely enough (I thought at first they would use it, the scope of both games is close and they also have both fps and vehicle action).

      Awesome. Won't have the personality of Hostile Waters, but since that was a tribute to Carrier Command I can't wait for this!

      Gaea mission? You're just making it too easy on the internet to nickname this negatively.
