The Project 3 Interactive website is now offering a new demo of Termite's team oriented first person shooter New World Order. This demo offers two maps, playable in singleplayer and multiplayer mode. You can find a mirror of the 154mb file on FileShack. Also released is this addon for the retail version of NWO, adding the Restaurant map to the game.

According to a new and improved New World Order page on the Project Three Interactive website, a new demo for the first person shooter New World Order will be released soon. The demo will feature two levels, including a new one if you have the European version of the game. That map (Restaurant) will be released as a seperate download for the EU retail version as well though.

Project 3's New World Order downloads page is now hosting a new 1.3 patch for the multiplayer action game currently out in Europe. Most of the fixes/changes are related to speed and lag. Thanks z3r0gr4v1ty.

A new patch for New World Order has been released, updating the game to version 1.2. There is a patch that updates the CD version and there's a update for those who already installed patch 1.1.

Publisher Strategy First sent out a press release announcing that they have obtained the North American publishing rights to New World Order, the tactical shooter developed by Termite Games. Expect it during the first quarter of 2003.

The guys at WorthPlaying have some more info on New World Order, the tactical shooter game which recently went gold. Jim Malmros of Termite Games gives us the 411 on the single player campaign, use of stealth, updated graphics and the system requirements.

Publisher Project Three Interactive sent along a press release announcing that Termite's tactical first person shooter New World Order has gone gold. It will show up in Europe some time this month, with the US release following early next year.

Project 3 CEO Robert Ercevic said: "We have made some huge steps forward the last few months and are absolutely thrilled to now have finished this very challenging project. We look forward to bringing this stunning game to the market in a few weeks time and are confident gamers will share our continuing amazement about the combination of realism in both looks and gameplay in New World Order."

Built on in-house developed next generation technology New World Order tells the modern tale of the battle between the united terrorist factions called The Syndicate and the anti-terrorist squad who have a mandate to track them down anywhere in the world, the Global Assault Team. Players can take on The Syndicate as a new member of the GAT named John Dobbs in lone wolf missions in singleplayer mode or battle it out with their teams in 5 multiplayer modes on a LAN or the internet.

No word on if we're going to see an improved demo.

HomeLAN Fed's New World Order Q&A is now up, talking with Erik Schreuder of Project Three Interactive about this upcoming team based multiplayer shooter. JCal asks why the beta required a beta DirectX driver to be installed, why the full game will also require this, plans for a tool release, the US publisher of the game, and several other things.

Publisher Project Three Interactive sent out this update on New World Order, the team based FPS in development at Termite Games. We hadn't really heard much about this game since the release of beta 2.0 back in August. There were many issues with that beta demo, but supposedly it's all been worked out and the game is now scheduled to go gold next week. European and Asian players can look for this game to show up in stores November 15, people in the U.S. will have to wait as the game is not expected to be released there until January.

We have received tons of feedback from the gaming community and have spent the last few months perfecting the MP experience and developing the singleplayer part of the game. We know we have been kind of silent lately but I assure you the only reason was the we were buried in work twenty four seven. The team was expanded even more by Project 3 with additional programmers, designers and a producer and we have been rolling like a steamtrain.
We realize the Beta 2.0. still caused problems for some players but we have taken care of the remaining bugs and perfected the gameplay. I guess the biggest issue on servers with that beta was that players without the necessary update DirectPlay 8.2. could also join, thus creating lag and messing up the fun. Fortunately we can now reveal NEW WORLD ORDER players will need to install Microsoft DirectX 8.2. which will be on the NWO CD. We thank Microsoft for their support and for creating this updated version of DirectX. ...

WorthPlaying has received some info on New World Order 2.1, which is due out tomorrow. The upgrade will be for people who run dedicated servers. Update: the file is out already.

The Project Three Interactive New World Order download page has been updated, offering a direct download link to the Directplay 8.2 beta patch which you need to play the beta demo of New World Order. Thanks STELTH.

For others, like me, wondering where the hell to get that DirectX patch to play the New World Order, check out this forum post. The survey you filled out on the BetaPlace.com site will actually be reviewed and a download link will be emailed to you. If this was already on their site, I sure didn't take the time to read it and others probably missed it too. Thanks STELTH.

A new multiplayer beta of New World Order has been released for you guys to download on FileShack. This new beta can probably only be an improvement over the last one (story) which so many people couldnt even get to run. You're required to download a Microsoft DirectX beta patch to run the demo though which may scare some people.

Termite Games lead programmer Jim Malmros has been interviewed on Gamers Click, where they ask him about New World Order. Questions are about the DVA engine, the unique features of the game, multiplayer modes and of course more.

Computer & Video Games has a New World Order Q&A, talking to Termite Games' Jokke Forsryd about this tactical shooter. Jokke answers questions about the realism, the team based multiplayer focus, the amount of single player missions and mod support among a few other things.

Blues News has posted new screenshots from New World Order, Termite's upcoming tactical shooter. There are thirteen shots total.

The New World Order multiplayer test finally came out a few days ago, and the reception it got around here was less than warm with all kinds of people complaining about crashes and bugs etc. So much so that I didnt even bother to install it myself. Well Jim Malmros from Termite has some response to the uh.. response. He says these are the 5 major bugs that are causing 90% of the troubles: (Thanks Blue)

1) Compatibility. You need all the latest drivers (as NWO uses features that are only in the very latest drivers). You also need a 32-meg 3D card and some AGP memory allocated (it normally is all automatically, 16-32 megs). Due to a memory leak you also need at least 256 megs of memory, the more the
better.

2) There is a huge bug, with clients leaving a game crashing the server!! This one is pure evil. Basically holds us all back from playing the game properly. I have gone through a lot of coreErr.txt files from users, when they have experienced a crashed server - and they all have a deleted client at the end of the file, at the crash. Our servers at the office can handle deleting clients just fine for some reason.

3) The mini-gun can crash the game when reloading. Also a really nasty one as it is kind of hard to get people to not use the mini.

4) Hosting a server on Win98 is no fun. This is because networking priority boosts are reversed on Win98 compared to Win2K/WinXP. This causes severe lag under Win98. I know a lot of people use Win98 as their gaming OS for the extra fps.

5) Controls setup causes a lot of games to crash.

After a long delay of about two months, the multiplayer beta for the first person shooter New World Order has finally been released. The 92mb download contains a single map from the game and can be played with up to 32 people. You can grab it from FileShack, Worth Playing or Termite Games.

Action VAult has an interview with Jim Malmros of Termite Games, talking to him about the multiplayer FPS New World Order. That long promised demo should finally be released today, if you believe it. Thanks Blues'.

Though not the promised demo, there is a new New World Order movie on the Project 3 Interactive site. The movie is a 32.1mb DivX file. We have a mirror here.
