Players will also be able to call a time out three times per match, allowing players to utilizes upgrades and repurchase usable equipment without the need to rush back onto the field, the timeout period will last for a maximum of three minutes. There will be lanes, but players will have to rely on minimap and their own navigation skills to find their way through forest and deserted cities designed to throw off the bearings of the player.

After each win/loss the players will gain a set amount of in game currency to spend on upgrades/levels for their character so they can start their next match with better equipment or skills. To mitigate over powered characters mercilessly beating on the lower characters, there will be a match making system based on the players' skill level wchih will be determined by their overall stats in game. Players will then be paired with like level team mates and opponents.

Weapon of Mass Destruction is a story driven RPG where the player plays the renamable protagonist Ureil. Uriel is a soldier assigned to guard the scientists of Deep Station One where experimental weapons are developed. As you patrols the corridors nothing seems amiss. He catches a glimpse of an out of place shadow moving down an adjacent corridor and goes investigate. As he approaches the area where he saw the shadow the ground shakes violently and he is deafened by an enormous explosion. Uriel is thrown to the ground, dazed and confused. Uriel stuggles up to his feet and is greeted by the sound of nearby gunfire and rush toward the sound.

Key Features:

-Play an intense, action packed story where every decision you make can change an NPC's disposition toward you and can impact the course of the game.

-In a galaxy where science is the new religion, many new inventions are being made every day, this allows for unprecedented weapon customization from close combat weapons like vibro-swords and piston driven great hammers to laser rifles and shoulder mounted machine guns.

-The recent technological advances have also led to cybernetic enhancements: fight as a Uriel, human soldier of the Loricatus Brotherhood, or purchase upgrades to enhance your combat prowess, ability to wield heavier, more complex weapons and even increase the processing power of your brain. However, these upgrades come at a cost and will isolate you from your fellow soldiers and make it harder to associate with hose who do not have these upgrades. The more cybernetic enhancements you get, the more difficult communication with others becomes.

Do you have what it takes to pursue the enemy through a vast galaxy tracking down leads and chasing criminals in order to discover what is needed to complete your mission?
